Overall Experience

I cannot speak too highly of the care I have received. I have only been in residence for a matter of weeks but during that time my husband died and the care and consideration I have received has been without parallel. Both staff and management have made it the best place to be at this time.

Staff are always friendly and helpful, kind and caring towards Mum. My daughter and I were invited to the Christmas day dinner which was very nice. Mum's room is nice and bright and cheerful. She is looking forward to doing some gardening soon.

Review of
Hatfield House
from Claire A (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 March 2025

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I cannot praise the staff at Hatfield House enough for the care they have given to my dad over the last 4 years. He is treated like a member of the family, is well looked after and really loves living at Hatfield House. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff. My dad has a brilliant sense of

humour and the staff love to have a laugh and a joke with him which he really appreciates.
Hatfield House is extremely well run and I am grateful every day to have found such a wonderful place for my dad to live.
My mum was also at Hatfield House prior to passing away and I will never forget the care and love shown to my mum and the rest of our family in her final days by everyone at Hatfield House.
I would not hesitate to recommend Hatfield House to anyone. Thank you Hatfield House - you are amazing!!

Overall Experience

Have been quite impressed by my time at Oakwood Grange. I did not know what to expect as many bad reviews are published about various care homes. I have settled here well. Everyone is so friendly. Managment, staff, carers and other residents food is varied and good, room is clean and common areas attractive

and welcoming. Can eat in the dining room or my own room - it is good to have a choice. There are lots of smiley faces about which is good too.

Oakwood Grange
from Alison M (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 March 2025

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Mum has been living at Oakwood for over six months. Mum experienced appalling care at her two previous care homes, and so, understandably, I was initially apprehensive. This was soon replaced with joy and relief.
Mum's bed is always clean, her clothes are clean and respectfully put neatly back into

her wardrobe, and nothing has gone missing. Mum is so much more settled and always clean. She is kept safe within the home as the carers understand Mum's dementia and her particular behaviours and the risks around that. Mum's care plan shows that it has been written with knowledge, understanding and professionalism that I haven't seen in her previous two care homes, all of this gives me confidence and happiness and I am so grateful to everyone, the owners, management, carers and everyone who works at Oakwood for giving such a high and professional standard of care, it means more than I can really put into words.

Overall Experience

Those on the floor I visited were particularly helpful, happy and couldn't do enough for us. The knowledge they had of their residents was amazing. They were very understanding and respectful. They have such a tough job (one I could not fathom doing myself), and she acted above and beyond. Every staff

member I met was courteous and helpful. The facilities were clean, well kept and simply stunning. Each resident appeared to be very well cared for.

Overall Experience

My nan has been a resident of Brakenfield Hall since October and I couldn't wish for a better place for her to live, it was such a hard decision to place my nan in residential care but the staff at Brakenfield made the process so much easier. The home itself is clean, well-maintained and smells lovely,

the staff are absolutely amazing and treat every resident like family. I truly couldn't wish for a better place. My nan is so happy and has improved so much while being here.

Review of
Oakwood Grange
from L O (Niece of Resident) published on 29 January 2025

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We had visited several care homes in the area for my aunt and uncle. As soon as we entered Oakwood Grange, we felt at home. The atmosphere is calm, warm and bright but the care and carers are exceptional. They have so much time for both the residents and their families and friends. Nothing is too much

trouble.
It has been a very upsetting and stressful time as my uncle was taken into hospital days before he was supposed to live at Oakwood, so my aunt moved in by herself. She has been so well cared for by everyone and when my uncle came out of hospital just after New Year, they cared so well for him despite his failing health. He died 10 days after he had moved in and I'm so relieved that they were both together at such a critical time. Thank you to everyone. As a family we know that my aunt is so well-cared for and has social interaction when she most needs it.

Overall Experience

We took the difficult decision to move my mother into a care home in June 2024. From the moment we visited the care home, we knew we had made the right decision. The staff at Oakwood Grange could not be more caring. My mother loved her time there. Sadly, she has now passed but I know that in the relatively

short time she was there, she felt safe and well looked after by the excellent staff. Thank you to all at Oakwood Grange for the love and care you showed to my mother.

Oakwood Grange

Overall Experience

My husband has been a resident for around 8 months. Staff are really friendly and communicate fairly well. I find sometimes he isn't washed and dressed to the usual standards but on a whole the care is satisfactory. The only thing I disagree with, is on the odd occasion he has had a fall, is the staff

sent him to hospital alone instead of with a member of staff.

Reply from Anila Munawwar, Manager at Oakwood Grange

Thank you for taking the time to review Oakwood Grange and we are pleased that you rate our cleanliness as excellent. We appreciate your kind feedback regarding our team, which I will pass on. We support our residents with personal care and dressing when needed, but respect our residents' independence to change their clothes if they wish. The care and safety of our residents at Oakwood Grange is our priority, and we aim to send a member of our team to accompany residents to the hospital, this is not always possible if it would reduce optimum staffing levels.

I would highly recommend anyone to Herries Lodge. My personal experience is always positive from top to bottom. The management deal with any issues in a swift and professional manor. The staff from carers, to housekeeping, to kitchen staff are extremely professional, friendly and caring, in sometimes

testing circumstances.
The food is top notch, the home is very clean and there are always plenty of activities in the schedule to keep residents occupied, should they wish to take advantage of them.
I cannot praise the whole team enough!
