About Oaklands
Oaklands supports adults with learning disabilities and associated complex needs through residential care and 24-hour support. Its registered scope includes autism, epilepsy, communication difficulties and mental health support, with care planned around individual needs.
Support combines care planning, risk assessment, independence and participation in community life. Activities may include swimming, cinema trips and cookery, selected around personal preferences. Homes typically accommodate six to eight people, with spacious bedrooms and a warm domestic setting. Referrals can come from local authorities, the NHS, social workers, care managers or families, followed by an initial conversation about the support required.

Who can refer someone for care?
They accept referrals from local authorities, the NHS, social workers, care managers and families. They arrange an initial conversation to assess whether they can provide the right support.
Can families visit before choosing a home?
Yes. They welcome visits so the individual and family can see the environment, meet the team and ask questions before making a decision.
What activities do residents take part in?
Activities include swimming, bowling, cinema trips, walking, cookery, arts and crafts, sensory room activities, day centres, adult education, life skills and employment training. Choices reflect individual preferences.
Do they have autism care accreditation?
They are enrolled on the Autism Accreditation Programme through the National Autistic Society. Several homes have achieved autism accreditation, with work continuing across other services.
How much does Oaklands cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Oaklands for its weekly fee. As a guide, North Yorkshire council paid on average £1,274 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.
