My experience so far has been fantastic, right from the reception, the home presents a warm and welcoming environment. The staff are kind and caring to residents and it's not surprising that the residents and their family members feel at home.
Residents are engaged in fun-filled meaningful activities
and of course, the nutritional needs of residents are catered for by the great cooks. Residents also enjoy their individualised personal space. A great home indeed.

Residents are well cared for. Staff are always welcoming, and refreshments offered on every visit. Staff interaction with residents is friendly. Mum always enjoys her meals.
The upstairs lounge is bright and comfortable and there are always staff present. The lounge has an outlook over the recreation
ground so plenty of activities to be seen.

My Husband was placed here as an emergency respite care but from the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with care and helpfulness and a genuine interest in the needs of my Husband. We have very good communication with the Management team and all the staff we meet are friendly and helpful.
He has settled
in very well and enjoys the food and environment and when we visit he appears happy and content. We would recommend this Care Home.

I cannot thank all the staff, for all the care they do for my mum, she is treated the respect and care. I would always say that she is so very well looked after and she loves it here also. There is nothing they won't do to support my mum and even myself so only can thank them for this.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother has been a resident at Oak Lodge for around 18 months now, after a year at a large corporate home who decided they couldn't cope with her needs. We liked that home but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as that home ended up being investigated and now having her at Oak Lodge, we realise
how comparatively poor it was.
Oak Lodge has been brilliant for Mum. The staff are amazing and her face lights up when she sees some of them (she has severe Alzheimer's). She is clearly far happier here than at her previous home and it's obvious she's more safe and secure, not least because of the high staffing levels.
As others have said, it's very like a nice hotel, with spacious rooms and everything is very clean. I genuinely can't praise the staff enough, and it's clear they seem to be happy working there, again something not always apparent at the previous home.
I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone in the unenviable position of needing to place a relative in care.

Absolutely outstanding care home. Staff are very attentive, friendly and well organised. Plenty of staff to go around for the residents, very well organised. Upon arrival, you are offered a hot or cold beverage which is a very nice touch indeed. This doesn't feel like a care home setting and when I
say that it does not smell like a normal care home (urine/faeces) it has a very pleasant smell. The style and decor are like walking into a luxurious hotel. Management is absolutely outstanding. I can't thank everyone enough for what they have done for my father-in-law. Residents get fed 4 times a day and are also well watered. All staff have been retained so no high turnover of staff, the company are definitely doing something right. All levels of staff are amazing from the cleaners, caretakers, receptionists, carers and management. You will be peaceful to know they are well looked after. Well done to all the staff for making this place happen and work as it does.

My Mum has now been at Oakview for just over a month but I thought it would be useful to share my experience. Mum had come from her own home where she had 2 full-time carers, however, the time had come for her to move into residential care. From the initial viewing, I felt the setting was much more
like a home environment rather than a care setting, I was so impressed with the information and the surroundings. An assessment was quickly arranged and Mum was settled in the home within a couple of days.
As a regular visitor, I have been so impressed with how well she has settled in, each time she seems happy, calm, and content. Mum is now always clean, dressed in clean clothes daily and her overall appearance and mood have improved hugely since moving into Oakview. I feel supported by all of the lovely team at Oakview, I am informed about her care and any care decisions that need to be made. Any families making this huge decision should look no further than Oakview 10/10!

Reply from Lauren Elliot, Assistant at Oak View Residential Care Home

Thank you so much for reviewing Oak View. It's always great to hear about people's real experiences. We are so pleased your mum has settled in well and is enjoying herself. It's also nice to know your mum and family feel fully supported by the team. We hope your mum and family continue to receive all the care and support you need.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5

My sister was a resident at Oak View from March-Sept 2023. There is an opportunity for this place to be great, but it left me disappointed. The staff are polite and friendly, but there was little or no interaction between the staff and my sister other than calling her for meals and dispensing medication.
My sister was not taken out for any excursion by staff either individually or on a group outing, despite the beach being very near. The only regular “activity” was the musical entertainment on Friday. The patio access is via a code-locked door and I rarely saw residents using it - mainly used by staff for their breaks. The laundry process needs attention because clothes regularly went missing which upset my sister. The “carehome.co.uk” website says there is a “Phone Point in own room/Mobile”, but no phone point and the care home bans mobile phones. This left my sister feeling isolated and lonely. In my opinion, the “luxury hotel environment ” claim in the home’s brochure does not reflect reality.

Reply from Rachel Adey, General Manager at Oak View Residential Care Home

I am deeply sorry that your sister felt alone and isolated. I wish I had known about the mobile phone problem; it would have given me the chance to do the necessary risk assessment and prevent this situation. Our staff do work hard to build strong relationships with the residents. We will, however, look again at our training and supervision model to find ways to increase staff-to-resident interaction outside of scheduled care. We are currently adding more fun and interesting activities for our service users. In addition to this, we will look at the use of the patio access. I apologise for the problems associated with the laundry. We are carefully looking at our laundry system now to make sure there will not be any future problems.
Our goal is to give our residents and their visiting families a safe, friendly, and high-quality place to live and experience. I am sorry you thought we didn't live up to our standards. Again, thank you for taking the time to give us such useful feedback.

Mum was a resident at the home for five weeks and received excellent care. Her room was comfortable and always clean and fresh. The staff treated Mum with respect and care and was always friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The family was safe in the knowledge that she was being well looked after.
I would highly recommend the home to anyone looking for care for a loved one.

Care at Oak View for Mom is excellent and always has been. The staff remain vigilant at all times as Mom is susceptible to infections; they catch these very quickly. Mom is loved and cared for and shows as she is always happy.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.663)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.663) out of 10 for Oak View Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.663 for Oak View Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 163 Ratings = 4.663

  • 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 Oak View Residential Care Home is based on 13 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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 13 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.
