Since my mum and Dad moved into Oakland in December I have had no complaints at all. The manager and staff work so hard and treat all residents and visitors with dignity and respect.
The home is lovely and clean and my mum and dad are well fed and well looked after at all times.

My parents were both took into care after my mother being in hospital, this was a big shock to us.
We came to visit for a few days and would like to say what a caring lovely team.
We would like to thank you all for making this move much easier for them and also being there for us and the rest of
the family.
10 out of 10 for the carers and even the cleaner who helped making their rooms comfortable while we were there.
Thanks to the laundry lady who took the time to label all their clothes.
We could go back home knowing that they are getting the best care and that they are safe.
Mum had to go back into hospital and the carers acted really quick and made sure she was okay.
Being back at the home and being allowed to move into a bigger room has made her feel much more comfortable.
We would recommend this friendly caring home to everybody looking to be cared for.

We would just like to say a very big thank you to the manager and her outstanding team. From the moment our parent entered Oakland Care Home in January, she and all our family were made to feel most welcome.
It truly is a second home from home, and the care from the outstanding team is second to none.
It takes a special person to care for someone, and this place is dripping with people who care!
The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the living room and dining areas are great communal areas to participate in activities or just have some company. The resident was very happy there and made great friends.
We cannot praise the staff enough. They were actually outstanding, and it shows great leadership of the manager and her team to make people feel wanted, special and cared for.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Oakland Care Home. It is a wonderful place.

My mum was in only for a week but she loved her stay. Staff fabulous, so caring. Room lovely. Food and drinks all the time. Entertainment all the time. I know she was taken care of and can't thank everyone for taking the time to take care of her. So will, if I need, call them again and would recommend
to anyone I know. So thanks for the care from the manager, staff, cooks, carers, cleaners and all the staff. God bless, see you soon.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.920)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.920) out of 10 for Oakland 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.920 for Oakland Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (174 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 187 Ratings = 4.92

  • 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 Oakland Care Home is based on 16 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 16 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.
