Mum seems happy. She particularly enjoys all the activities. Bingo & choir are her favourites. She's really looking forward to getting out into the garden when the weather improves as she loves gardening. Another firm favourite is the times she gets to cuddle and pet the animals that come in on a regular
basis - especially the rabbits, kittens & puppies. She always enjoys mealtimes with her friends in the dining room.

The care my mother received while in the home was excellent. Although she was unable to enjoy all the activities, it was clear that the resident's care and entertainment were very good. It was very clear that all the staff and management made my mother stay as comfortable as possible. I could not have
asked for better.

Our mother has been in Oakcroft for a year. The staff are terrific, thoughtful, friendly, and attentive. The activity schedule, food and facilities are all impressive. Our mother has had some incidents of paranoia when she can be abusive and attempt to attack staff. They have been gentle and professional
with her, documenting incidents and seeking GP help.

I was kept informed about any changing conditions of my husband. They noted changes that had to be made. Checked in on him, monitored him and noted his condition had changed, and called an ambulance. I was comforted that their prompt action gave my husband the best chance of survival. Sadly his illness
had won.

Since my great uncle has moved into this care home I felt reassured knowing he is in good hands. The staff were always kind and patient with him even when his health declined. They kept me updated on his condition and any changes, which meant a lot. I was supervised with a variety of activities and
programs although my uncle did take advantage of them. It was clean and they put a lot of effort into keeping residents engaged and happy. The home was clean and tidy.

My dad went into Oakcroft House in June 2024. As a family, we were apprehensive about sending him to a nursing home but he needed more care and was palliative. The welcome we were given from all the staff was amazing and they all put us at ease, nothing was too much trouble for any of them. The staff
took their time to get to know both Dad and Mum, the care was very person-centred. The food was restaurant quality and even thou he didn't eat much he enjoyed what he had. Dad peacefully passed away this week the staff were so respectful and supportive. He was there less than 3 weeks but what a lovely end-of-life experience Oakcroft House made it for him and us.

Reply from Rosie Smith, Customer Advisor at Oakcroft House Care Home

Hello and thank you for taking the time to leave the staff at Oakcroft Care Home such a lovely review. We are touched that you have taken the time to write to us in what we can only imagine is an incredibly difficult time. We at BUPA Head Office would like to express our condolences to the whole family. We are thrilled that the team at Oakcroft provided your dad with such a lovely environment and that they took the time to get to know you all. We are sure it was a great comfort to the family to have such a "respectful" and "supportive" team. Once again I would like to express my condolences for the passing of your Dad and wish you all the best as a family.

Stayed at Oakcroft for post-operative care and it was a much better experience than trying to cope at home, even with help. Professional caring staff, lovely meals, nothing too much trouble for them and cups of tea on tap.

It was one of the most difficult things we had to do to put my father-in-law into care. I am delighted to say that the quality of care exceeded our expectations and the attentiveness of all the staff has been exceptional. There is a lovely atmosphere at Oakcroft. The activities provided are so good
and varied - something for everybody. Sadly he passed away last week but we have nothing but praise for the way in which his passing was handled by all the staff and their sympathetic interaction with the family. We will be eternally grateful.

Mum is very settled and happy at Oakcroft. She receives excellent care, support and encouragement from the whole team who are kind, friendly, dedicated, and professional and have an instinctive understanding of their residents' needs and wishes. Mum thoroughly enjoys the social lunches - the menu choices
are really good and the many varied entertainment events she now attends as part of the Oakcroft community. My heartfelt thanks.

My dad lived at Oakcroft from September 2022 until he died in January 2024. He was only expected to live a few weeks when he arrived but it was a testament to the excellent care provided that he celebrated his 90th birthday. All the staff provided amazing care and the kindness shown to both him and
us as his family was incredible. This was especially evident in the last few days of his life. I will never forget how well all the staff looked after dad, thank you so much.

Overall, our experience has been up and down, but good now. We have ironed out any problems by talking to staff involved with Mothers' care. Cannot judge the manager as he is in his office or left when I go to see Mum. I understand most of the staff like him, so happy with that. The care staff are good
to Mum, you always get the ones that are not so nice, but we deal with that if it happens. The staff are run off their feet most of the time and cannot speak much. But they work very hard, and staff you want to keep.

I recently visited Oakcroft Care Home a few weeks ago to see my friend, who is a resident there. The home had a lovely, warm ambience, and there were lots of activities that the residents were enjoying.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.664)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.664) out of 10 for Oakcroft House 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.664 for Oakcroft House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (161 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 235 Ratings = 4.664

  • 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 Oakcroft House Care Home is based on 20 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 20 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.
