Oaktree House care home in Yate under investigation

A care home for the elderly in Yatel is

under review after concerns were raised by a whistleblower.

No new residents are being admitted to

Oaktree House care home in Yate while the South Gloucestershire Safeguarding

Adults Board investigates.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is also

carrying out its own review.

A spokesman for owners Four Seasons Healthcare

said they are "co-operating fully" and that it would be

"inappropriate" to comment at present.

In a statement, the South Gloucestershire

Safeguarding Adults Board said: "The board acted immediately to

investigate the concerns according to established safeguarding procedure and

has confirmed that there is no immediate risk to residents."

The investigation, which involves meetings

with a number of the 80 residents, is now being carried out and is expected to

take a number of weeks to complete.
