Mum was a resident with dementia, she was allowed to be herself with guidance and monitoring from staff. Her main pleasure was eating, she really enjoyed the wonderful home-cooked meals, and biscuits with staff who kept her company while she was wide awake at nights. The home suited her needs, space
to walk around with the feel of a family bungalow. Mum had stayed for respite in three different care homes, but came out very distressed each time. Oakleigh was the only one she returned happy, so we knew this was the best place when full-time care was needed.

Reply from Steven Styllis, Nominated Individual at Oakleigh Residential Care Home

Everyone at Oakleigh thanks you for taking the time to write a review for us, and such a nice review too. We genuinely do everything within our power to make Oakleigh the friendliest, family oriented small care home. We strive to give the very best standards of care and try to make our clients and in many cases their families feel like it's really home from home. Very best wishes to yourself and your family from all of us here. Steven.

My nan was well-loved at Oakleigh by all staff and, as her dementia progressed, her needs were met to make sure she was as comfortable as possible. The food is excellent, being home-cooked meals with generous portions. This was something that brought my nan joy, most other activities were a struggle.
As visitors, we always felt welcomed and the 'help yourself' cafe in the conservatory was our favourite place to go. It being a small independent care home, it really feels like a family home.

Reply from Anita Eastlake, Manager at Oakleigh Residential Care Home

Thank you for your kind words, it was always a pleasure caring for your nan, she is missed by us all.

My auntie spent 26 months at Oakleigh Care Home. She was 95 when she went there, she was quite immobile, she required a lot of care and looking after, what I love the most about the home was that over two years, she was looked after by the same dedicated team and staff, and that says a lot for any business!
The
manager and her staff took great care of my auntie nothing was too much, my auntie was always left comforted and reassured by this dedicated and caring team, the food was always fresh, homemade and tasty, and the home was always clean and warm with a great atmosphere.
I would see residents relaxing in the communal rooms and there is a lovely coffee shop room for people visiting their relatives, all in all, I will give Oakleigh a big 10 out of 10 and recommend it to anybody, what we all got was peace of mind and that is priceless.

Reply from Anita Eastlake, Manager at Oakleigh Residential Care Home

My mum moved to Oakleigh Care Home at the end of November 2023. Since the day she moved in, the staff have been kind, caring and compassionate. They have accommodated my mother's hobbies and interests in order for her to settle at the home. The food is great, and the care is amazing. The home is clean
and tidy, with several communal areas to relax. Staff are always available to answer questions and responsive when issues are raised. Thank you for caring for my mum.

My Dad was a resident for approx 8 months. The Manager and her team worked very closely with his family to make sure that Dad’s care needs were met. The care home offers a safe, friendly and home-from-home environment, with trained staff who provide personalised care and support. The staff went that
extra mile to ensure my Dad was happy and contented living there. All the food is homemade and offers the residents a variety of meals and desserts.
My dad had the best time of his last few months in a loving care home, surrounded by people who cared for him and I felt like we were one big happy family. I would highly recommend this care home for your loved one.

Reply from Anita Eastlake, Manager at Oakleigh Residential Care Home

Thank you for your kind review we are so pleased you and your Dad had a positive experience, we aim to offer a holistic approach to care that not only supports our residents but supports families as a whole.

My uncle came to stay at Oakleigh for some respite after having chemo and needing some extra help. My uncle has a wonderful time at Oakleigh. The staff were very friendly, kind and caring, exactly how you would expect care home staff to be. It was the respite he needed.

My mother is a resident and has been for three years.
The management and staff have not only cared for her but supported us during this time. During Covid, they did all in their power to ensure the residents were safe and, as a result, did not have one case. The staff's dedication shone over this
time, with many leaving their loved ones to care for ours. They still go that extra mile, which assures us Mum is in safe hands and lives in a home that truly cares about her.
The food is all homemade, varied and uses fresh ingredients.
Because it is a smaller care home and the staff have worked there for many years, they know the residents extremely well. This gives the home a comfortable, friendly, home-from-home feeling. They have many activities, which include crafting and exercise classes, which Mum enjoys very much.
I am extremely happy with Oakleigh and am sure all future residents will be happy there too.

The recent changes within the home structure have significantly improved the standards within the home. The care and support given by the carers to the residents has always been first class. The recent refurbishments have made the home much brighter and more attractive. The food is excellent, varied
and plentiful. I am very happy that my loved one is being very well cared for and looked after.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.240)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.240) out of 10 for Oakleigh Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 5 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 4.814 for Oakleigh Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (49 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.814

  • 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 4.426 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Oakleigh Residential Care Home is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.4 = 0.926

  • 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.
