At Cleeve Lodge Residential Care Home in Goring-on-Thames, outstanding care isn’t a one-off achievement… it’s a standard we live by every day.
We are incredibly proud to have been rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission on three consecutive inspections, in 2016, 2019 and again in 2025.
Achieving this level of recognition once is rare. Achieving it three times in a row is virtually unheard of and reflects years of consistency, dedication and genuine commitment to exceptional care.
What “outstanding” truly means for families
An Outstanding CQC rating is not awarded lightly. It reflects excellence across leadership, safety, responsiveness, effectiveness and care.
For families, it means reassurance, knowing that their loved one is supported in an environment where dignity, kindness and wellbeing are at the heart of everything we do.
At Cleeve Lodge, we take the time to know each resident as an individual, including their history, routines, preferences, and what brings them comfort and joy.
Our approach is person-centred, calm and compassionate, particularly for residents living with dementia.
Consistency, not chance
What makes our achievement truly special is consistency. Outstanding care is not about a single inspection or moment in time, it’s about delivering high standards day in, day out, year after year.
As a small, family-run care home, we believe this consistency comes from:
- A stable, experienced, and caring staff team
- Strong, visible leadership within the home
- Genuine relationships with residents and families
- A homely, calm environment where residents feel safe and valued
Our registered manager, Emma O’Connor, leads the home with warmth, professionalism, and clear leadership.
Under Emma’s guidance, Cleeve Lodge secured its third Outstanding rating in May 2025, reinforcing our reputation for excellence.
A place that truly feels like home
Beyond inspections and ratings, Cleeve Lodge is a place filled with everyday moments that matter… shared meals, laughter, meaningful activities and strong links with the local community.
Residents enjoy a varied programme of activities, visiting entertainers, therapy animals and seasonal celebrations, all carefully tailored to individual abilities and interests.
Families are always welcomed as part of the Cleeve Lodge family, with open communication and a supportive approach at every stage.
