About Oak House
Adults with mental health diagnoses and associated complex, high-intensity needs can receive residential support at Oak House. The modernised Leicester home can support fourteen individuals, with referrals considered from multidisciplinary teams and private sources.
A pre-admission assessment checks whether the service can meet an individual’s needs before admission. Care packages and funding are agreed individually, while residents have en-suite shower rooms, dining areas, lounges and lift access. A separate domiciliary-care team can support transitions into the community when residents are able to return to more independent living.

Questions families ask
Is there a pre-admission assessment before moving in?
Yes. A pre-admission assessment checks the individual’s needs and confirms whether the home can provide an appropriate service before admission.
Who can refer someone to the care home?
Referrals can come through a multidisciplinary team, care managers, community psychiatric nurses, social workers, registered nurses in learning disabilities and private referrals.
Do residents have their own en-suite facilities?
Yes. All residents have their own en-suite shower rooms and toilets, and they are encouraged and supported to personalise their rooms.
Is care tailored to each resident’s background and needs?
Yes. Care is tailored to individual needs and includes consideration of culture, religion, sexuality and origin, while respecting and encouraging individuality, equality and diversity.
How much does Oak House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Oak House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Leicester council paid on average £1,062 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
