Oaklea is a home care agency based in Sunderland, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Sunderland office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people and people living with dementia. It is part of St John of God Hospitaller Services, which has 3 branches in England. The agency has been registered since October 2025.

Oaklea has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.
