STAGE 4 — RESEARCHING CARE HOMES
Visit homes. Compare them side by side. Choose with confidence.
Most of us will view care homes the way we view houses, impression, atmosphere, the feeling in the corridor. We go home, try to remember what we saw, and make a permanent decision from a blurred memory.
The DCC shortlist gives every home you visit a structured record: the same twelve questions, answered the same way, every time. When you’re ready to choose, pull any two homes side by side and compare them directly. Same criteria, same evidence, your notes and your scores.

What the evidence base says
Oaklands welcomes both younger adults under 65 who need care and older residents over 65. They also provide specialist dementia support. For those living with dementia, Oaklands offers dedicated support. The team understands the importance of creating a reassuring environment where residents can maintain their sense of self. All areas worth probing directly during a visit.
The DCC Verdict
Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.
DCC Family Score
All five inspection domains were rated Good at the April 2025 assessment, which is a meaningful improvement from the previous Requires Improvement rating. However, the published report text provided contains very limited specific detail, so scores reflect a solid baseline Good rating without the granular evidence needed to push into the higher bands.
Homes in South East typically score 68–82.The three-lens summary

Worth a visit
Oaklands Care Home on Stakes Hill Road in Waterlooville was assessed in April 2025 and rated Good across all five inspection domains: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well-led. This is a significant step forward from a previous Requires Improvement rating, and it tells you that inspectors found no serious concerns across safety, staffing, care quality, or leadership at the time of that visit. The home supports up to 31 people, including adults living with dementia, and has a named registered manager in post. The main limitation of this report is that the published inspection text available at the time of this analysis contains very little specific detail about what inspectors actually observed, heard from your parent's potential neighbours, or found in care records. A Good rating is reassuring, but it does not tell you whether staff use your parent's preferred name, whether the activities suit someone at your parent's stage of dementia, or whether night staffing is adequate. Visit in person, ask to see last week's actual staffing rota, and try to arrive at a mealtime so you can judge the atmosphere for yourself.
