I transferred my aunt here from a care home in Wales to be nearer to the family. She was on a rapid decline health-wise, had become wheelchair-bound, uncaring of her appearance and her memory was poor.
With the care and attention shown to her at Oakcroft House, there has been a complete turnaround
in her attitude and memory.
The staff and home manager are wonderful and extremely caring and go above and beyond. With their help my aunt has attended a family wedding and christening during the 2 years she has been here and regularly comes to visit us for Sunday lunch.
The cleanliness, maintenance and food are all exceptional and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I honestly couldn't have wished for a greater team of people to provide such love and care to my grandad during his time at Oakcroft House. The staff here are all absolutely amazing, friendly, devoted, dedicated individuals who come together to create the most wonderful team. My grandad really enjoyed
his time here. I know this because from the moment he moved in, his beaming smile was restored and this certainly continued throughout his stay. The activity facility is brilliant, with a whole variety of things to do. This was definitely one of his favourite places to be. The house itself is kept beautifully clean throughout. Overall, I would highly recommend Oakcroft House Care Home! I will forever be grateful for the pure happiness and all the lovely things my grandad got to experience here. Thank you.

Oakcroft became my Mother’s home 10 years ago. My Father had been in the same home 7 years prior to my Mother and there was no question on which home we were choosing. A number of the staff were still at Oakcroft and some are still here to this day, which in my eyes says a lot. The staff are all so
friendly, which makes Oakcroft the home it is today.
I wish to thank the staff for being such stars during this pandemic and being on the ball made Oakcroft a safe place for all our loved ones.
I would highly recommend Oakcroft, whether it’s for respite or a future home for your loved ones.

My aunt was admitted to Oakcroft due to a traumatic stroke with numerous disabilities. Her life expectancy was very uncertain. She surprised us all by remaining here for four years and five months. The care she received was excellent, the staff cheerful, kind and hard-working. The activities, garden
and indoor spaces provided an unthinkable quality of life regardless of disabilities. Most of all, the love and dignity shown to her provided a secure, happy environment to end her last years. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home, with heartfelt thanks to all.

My father has been at Oakcroft for 18 months now and I cannot fault the dedication and loving care provided by caregivers at the home. Whenever I visit I am always greeted in a friendly way and I can see that dad, who has multiple needs, is being cared for both professionally and in a really warm manner.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother was at Oakcroft House for about nine and a half months, before she sadly died in April 2020 at the age of 101.

We felt she could not have been in better hands from both a nursing and care point of view and we particularly liked the small and homely nature of Oakcroft and the friendly atmosphere
between residents, carers and families.

The residents are also very lucky to have such a full programme of activities and special events laid on by their activities coordinator and others. I know that the weekly hairdressing was also a special feature of our mother’s stay.

We are very grateful to all the staff for taking such good care of her while she was there and for coping so well under such difficult circumstances during the coronavirus situation.

Reply from Greta Narbutaityte, Customer Adviser at Oakcroft House Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. We are saddened to hear about your loss. Hopefully, you can go away from this feeling like your mother received the best possible care.

I cannot speak too highly of Oakcroft House, they have been wonderful and so caring to my late husband. The staff and the other residents appear happy, the cleanliness and the meals are excellent. I am still in my own home with Danny my dog at present but when the time comes to move into a care home,
then I will have no hesitation in choosing Oakcroft House and hope that there will be a space available for me.

From the first point, my dad needed a nursing home the director of Oakcroft stepped up and made this a smooth transition. His support to our family continues to be first class. The staff at the home are great, it is clear they care about what they do and they make my dad happy, I often see him laughing
with them. He has someone who gets him up and dresses him. I have watched the care taken to make sure he is nicely attired, glasses cleaned and hair combed before leaving his bedroom. On his return from a stay in hospital, I saw the hugs that were given out, it was wonderful to see. The home activities are well thought out and not only provide entertainment but help keep minds active, hands flexible etc. They also include the families in the life at Oakcroft, the annual BBQ is good fun. Additionally, they have provided me with several books of photographs showing my dad having fun. I had been worried about my dad going into a home, now I know he is safe, well cared for, loved and supported.

The management staff at Oakcroft House have been very helpful and understanding as we have moved my mother to this home.
They came to visit her in her previous setting (an hour's drive) and really show that personal touch.
They are compassionate and caring, welcoming my mother into the home, and available
for chatting to as she has been settling in.
There is a personal, homely atmosphere, the staff are friendly and cheerful and I know my mother is in safe hands.
PS - the food is very good.

When my uncle required nursing care there really was an obvious choice for me and that was Oakcroft, who had cared for my aunt at the end of her life so well. The team at Oakcroft remembered him from when he visited my aunt and were delighted to welcome him. I really didn't think he would survive the
journey from the hospital and so was thrilled to hear that a day after arriving he was in the Activities Room! He has since gone from strength to strength thanks to the care of all the staff at Oakcroft. Nothing is ever too much trouble. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering nursing care for a relative. We have since celebrated my uncle's 90th birthday, a day we didn't think he would see!

From the very first time I saw Oakcroft House Care Home, I thought there was a wonderful atmosphere. Everything was fully explained to me by the manangement and the head sister. My wife was extremely well cared for and I can find no fault. All the nursing staff are 10/10. My wife was there for 20 months
and she connected well with all the staff singing with them from time to time. I have been invited to go whenever I feel like it.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.715)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.715) 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.715 for Oakcroft House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (181 Excellents x 5) + (60 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 246 Ratings = 4.715

  • 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 21 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 21 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.
