Because I live a couple of hours away, I usually get to visit my mother around every two weeks Everytime I see her she always seems happy and content. I usually comment that she appears younger-looking every time I see her. The other occupants always appear to look well looked after also. The staff
are always friendly and helpful.

My Mum has been a resident at Oakdale for the past 5.5 years. When she was taken to the home she was in very poor health but within the first 6 months she was transformed to her old self. This was entirely due to the care, attention and love given to her by the staff at Oakdale. Sadly she passed away
recently but the staff made her very comfortable and made it possible to stay in the home until the end.
I visited several care homes before choosing Oakdale, the deciding factors for me were the fabulous staff, the overall condition of the home and the wonderful grounds around the home. My mum really did think it was her own place and the other residents were her friends and family.
I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff at Oakdale.

My father suffers with Dementia and had taken to wandering out of his house at night and this was a concern which we had to act upon. Finding somewhere safe for a loved on to stay is a daunting task and very stressful.
We visited Oakdale Care Home with a view to placing my Dad there as part of going
round and looking at care homes near to where we live. Unlike others we had visited where you get a brief tour and ask a few Questions, the manager sat with myself and my wife for an hour telling us of all the benefits and answered all of our questions. We met several staff members during this time and also spoke to other residents and their family members. All of whom spoke very highly of this home.
This is an amazing home and there is very much a feel of family for both residents and their family members.. The kindness and compassion we received was like nothing I had experienced or expected. This is an outstanding home and we feel very lucky to have found such a lovely place for my dad to stay.

Mum has dementia and after a week's stay in hospital because of her mobility, we had to decide to move her into a care home. Our first choice of home didn't work well for Mum but when we moved her to Oakdale it was clear to us that all the staff were friendly and caring and cared for the residents as
people not numbers. The home has a homely atmosphere and I think the fish tank is a lovely extra for the residents to look at.
Nothing has been too much for the management or staff, they are always happy to answer any questions and keep us informed. I live 3 hours away and am now happy and settled knowing that my mum is being cared for in the best possible way with compassion and love. We know here dementia is getting worse but it will be easier to accept the changes this will bring to Mum knowing she is being cared for in the right place.
The meals always smell and look lovely and the rooms are nicely decorated with a homely feel.

My mother-in-law went into Oakdale at the beginning of September 2024. We had been recommended to this care home by a lot of people as the one for her to get the best care - she has dementia and they specialise in looking after residents with this condition. The care is absolutely exceptional, you can
tell the carers working there love their jobs. On Friday we went to a cheese and wine evening which also had a singer. It was lovely seeing the residents enjoying themselves and everyone seemed so happy. My mother-in-law said to all of us 'I love being here' which says it all. Would highly recommend this care home 100 per cent. It may not have all the 'bells and whistles' that some care homes have but you have to look past that, as it should be about the care and I give this one 10 out of 10 for it.

I chose this residential home for Mum's 2-week respite as a friend's mum is a resident here. The staff are genuinely caring towards everyone and there is a lovely welcoming feeling. Everyone looks clean and groomed. The food looked appetising and there is always drinks available. Rooms are cleaned and
aired daily. I felt that Mum was kept safe and was well looked after during her stay and I wouldn't hesitate to hopefully book another stay in the near future. Thank you everyone at Oakdale, you are all doing a fantastic job!

My mum has been at Oakdale for two months now. This is the first time she has been in a care home. I was very very nervous about her going there; it was something I didn't want to happen, but there was no option. From the moment she went in, my fears were allayed. The manager took her in personally
and made her feel very special. I feel she is in a safe place and in safe hands. The carers I have met are, without exception, lovely, kind, gentle and professional, and my mum likes them all. The home feels cosy and warm. Mum's bedroom is always neat and tidy and smells really nice. She has made friends easily there. I no longer feel the sense of dread I had before. Whenever I visit, I am made to feel welcome, and there are always plenty of staff on hand, watching the residents and talking to them. I have been there during activity times also, and it is good to see the interaction between the staff and residents.

Our mum has dementia and could no longer cope living alone. She became anxious and fearful, rarely went to bed and paced the floor most nights opening the front door regularly to check outside. She joined Oakdale in June, we were of course most concerned that she would not settle and may become even
more confused. It did take a little while for her to settle, however, the home manager assured us this was not uncommon. Now 4 months on she is happy and content. Sleeps all night & looks well & rested. The staff are kind, caring, friendly, patient and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble, more than happy to answer any queries we may have. The activities coordinator offers a varied range of interesting recreational pursuits. It's a busy, happy environment which is wonderful for residents who have maybe been alone for some time. There is also a quiet lounge. We viewed several homes but as soon as we saw Oakdale knew this was right for our mum.

We are into the second year of Mum's residence at Oakdale and I am happy to say the standard of care is as great as it was last year. The introduction of a bespoke activity coordinator late last year has added to Mum's experience providing more stimulation and entertainment. The carers are a great bunch,
always smiling and happy, providing a homely atmosphere compared to the sterile/medical environment at some care homes. I would highly recommend Oakdale upon the unfortunate circumstance that a family member requires full-time care.

My mum went into Oakdale for residential care four weeks ago. Was highly recommended to this care home from so many people as was the one to go to. The care from the staff is exceptional. It is not luxurious in its appearance but it is also about the care, and it deserves top marks for that. Most of
the carers there have been there for years, which says a lot, and you can see they love working there. The manageress is very hands-on and truly caring towards all the residents. I would highly recommend this care home.

Mum has been a full time dementia resident at Oakdale for three months now and I can honestly say that I am so pleased we chose Oakdale. The carers, the activity coordinator, the support staff and the management are all so welcoming. Making the decision to place a loved one into a care home is really
difficult and settling them can be really tricky. I honestly feel that every effort has been made to help my mum settle in. Don't be fooled by the aesthetics of a home. It's the care that matters and the care at Oakdale is amazing.

I am very happy with the care my mother gets at Oakdale. The staff go out of their way to get to know each resident's likes, dislikes and needs and to make them feel like treasured members of the Oakdale family. The different activities, both group and one to one, are well thought out and have made
a huge difference to my mother's health and well-being. I would thoroughly recommend Oakdale to anyone looking for a well-run, caring and happy environment for their loved one.

When we first came to view Oakdale after visiting many, we knew it was the one straight away. The manager and staff are first class and you will not find better. And as for the entertainer, well she is a credit to the home, I haven't seen this much entertainment given to the residents, first class all
round. My father joined the home on the 12th of February 2024, and he's been on more outings with this home than he ever did at his previous home, so all in all this was the best move ever for my father and we are truly at ease with him being there. This home is 10 plus out of 10.

Sadly we had to make the difficult decision for my mum to go into long-term care in April, but from the first point of contact, our experience of the care at Oakdale has been first-class.
Every member of staff has been kind, compassionate and caring. My mum has settled in so well, is always smiling,
and my 93-year-old dad is always greeted by name and feels welcomed and included whenever he visits, often being invited to stay for his lunch. The activities coordinator uses many different methods to provide meaningful activities for Mum, which help to reduce any distress she feels from her memory loss. We are so pleased we chose Oakdale to look after Mum.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.901)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.901) out of 10 for Oakdale Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.901 for Oakdale Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (301 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 332 Ratings = 4.901

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Oakdale Care Home is based on 28 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 28 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
