The quality of care at Oulton Park Care Centre is extremely high. My mother-in-law has been a resident there for 7-months, requiring complex medical care. Due to covid19, we were not able to visit her for the last 6-months. We are able to speak to her on the phone and were given regular updates on her
health and well-being. We can now have weekly distanced visits, and see she is being well cared for. Always tidy and nicely dressed, and sometimes pleased to show off nicely manicured and painted fingernails or wearing a pretty coloured hairband she has made. Carers are cheerful, friendly and sensitive to sometimes difficult situations. Always a welcoming atmosphere. Cannot praise the staff highly enough in these extremely difficult times. Mother is getting the best possible care. Many thanks to all the staff.

The care home is spotless. Very clean. Carers are lovely, kind, hardworking, and thoughtful. Treat residents with respect. Front of house staff are friendly. The problem here is management. A succession of managers who make false promises. Lack of communication, not good enough. Nursing care is sometimes
excellent/sometimes not!

Reply from Jackie Tayler, General Manager at Barchester Oulton Park Care Home

Thank you for your review and the positive comments you have made about the team here. They work hard to ensure our residents are given the best care at all times. Oulton Park is part of a region and a division which have been overseen by the same Managing Director for nearly four years so that, even when it isn’t possible for a General Manager to remain in the service, the continuity is delivered in the home. Whoever leads the home is also guided and supported by strict Barchester protocols, systems and processes which ensure the residents are as unaffected as possible by change. I am a previous Oulton General Manager and am delighted to be back leading this lovely home. Be assured I am available at any time should you wish to discuss any elements of our service in the future. Thank you, Jackie Tayler.

My father was in Oulton Park for only a short time, but in that time, he was looked after in a loving, caring way. The manageress and all her staff were second to none. We were always greeted with smiles and friendly faces, and they were totally professional in every respect. We wouldn't hesitate to

The management has failed in showing any compassion to the families who have lost their loved ones to COVID 19 at this care home. Further training needs to be given so further families do not have to endure such cold-heartedness.

Reply from Pete Dean, Interim General Manager at Barchester Oulton Park Care Home

Hi Katherine, thank you for your feedback. Firstly, I want to introduce myself as I am the new manager at Oulton Park. We take all of your feedback very seriously and Barchester prides itself on its quality of care and compassion in all of our homes. During the entire duration of the pandemic, we at Barchester have been following the guidelines and protocols outlined by Public Health England to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our residents and staff. We sincerely apologise if you feel that you have not been treated with absolute compassion - this is very unlike our staff and I am surprised to hear this. Please do get in touch with us so that we can discuss the circumstances that prompted you to give this feedback so that we can resolve any issues immediately.

My father-in-law required urgent respite. We received a quick response to our request which was an easy process. Once he was in Oulton Park, he received brilliant service and the staff responded well to his needs, which made us feel at ease. The home also facilitated urgent respite for my mother-in-law
too. Lovely, caring staff and lovely food. We were always kept informed regarding their care.

My mother-in-law spent the best part of three weeks in respite care at Oulton Park. The general impressions are of a clean and modern environment. This was better than many older homes that we'd visited which were situated in old buildings converted for the purpose and as a result did not seem to work
as well. We didn't get to visit the home whilst the mother-in-law was there as we were on holiday, The staff we had dealings with appeared caring and polite and it was clear that they understood the condition of dementia which we felt was critical. Mother-in-law appears to have enjoyed her stay, although she suffers from dementia so memory/recall is a problem. She seemed happy to return for respite in the future which we took as a positive sign. Her room was comfortable and private and she remarked on how much she enjoyed the room. We are in the process of booking more respite here for the coming spring and summer at Oulton, that must be a recommendation.

Nothing seems too much trouble and they are watching and listening to the residents all the time. The staff dress up in costume to entertain and have a constant flow of things to do. It is

At last! New management understanding the relevance of residents feelings and needs for their belongings (lost for a long time), and finally found and returned to them. Especially the resident concerned being in a dementia state. Management very understanding to the resident's needs. Straight away,
with no hesitation, help to find Mum's belongings after my wife spoke to her about them in general, friendly conversation of introduction.

I was extremely impressed with the professionalism of the staff and management of this care home. I visited a number of care homes to find a suitable placement for my 88-year-old mother and this home was by far the best in our area. The manageress showed me around, a lovely lady who seemed both proud
and passionate about the standard of care. All in all, a beautiful place with kind, caring people.

Excellent care home, my father spent his last 3 months at Oulton Park and he had everything he wanted. The care was second to none, from the outside it was like a big family. The last few weeks of his life the staff cared for him like he was family until he passed. I hope that if I need a care home
in the future I get one just as good.

My uncle has been a resident of the Memory Lane Community at Oulton Park for 18 months now. He has settled so well and considering that he can be challenging, the staff are absolutely fantastic! The home always contacts me should they need to, the meals are outstanding and the gardens are beautiful

My relative has recently moved to the home. His needs are sometimes complex and demanding but the team have worked hard to support him to become settled and happy in his new home. In particular, two members of staff, a head of unit and a carer have gone 'above and beyond' to meet his needs and to treat
him with dignity, care and respect. The team is also welcoming to relatives and are always happy to listen to and address any concerns.

Dad passed away at Oulton Park on May 29th and had been a resident for over two years. He was happy at Oulton Park and we felt happy and at ease with him being there. The care was excellent and any problems that arose were dealt with straight away. Lovely staff and they became my dad's friends as well

Our family moved our 92-year-old Mum into Oulton Park last October. She has been in care since late 2017. Her previous care home did not have the skills to provide for her needs so Oulton Park was recommended by the local mental health team. She has dementia.
Mum settled in quite quickly. She is in
the dementia specialist unit called Memory Lane so all the residents have some degree of dementia from each end of the spectrum. The regular staff are totally skilled in caring for adults with dementia and work hard to ensure all the residents' needs are catered for. She is well fed and has an attractive bedroom that is kept clean and well maintained. The health needs of the residents are monitored by the nurses who administer all the medication too.
We are impressed by the level of skills that the staff show and they never seem phased by their residents, no matter what happens. They can clearly manage and care for those with dementia. I would recommend this dementia unit.

This place is your worst nightmare for a dementia family member.
You go into the unit and the smell of urine is so overwhelming it makes you gag.
It's dirty and tired the whole place needs a total refurb.
There seem to be no activities going on for the dementia patients nearly everyone has been
put into a large wheelchair (your expense) which is bizarre one week someone is walking around normally the next week they are in a chair never to move again - and with this amount of residents in chairs and the small amount of staff there is no way they can be moved on a regular basis. Recently we went to visit my dad he was lying in bed in a duvet and pillow with no cover, both were dirty and worn, he lay in an old t-shirt and nappy not even trousers for his self-respect. We finally moved him after the final straw he was put on a liquid diet - only this decision was made by a carer not a professional and no one could even say why he was put on this diet and no investigation by the home.

On arrival, my gran was well looked after and made to feel welcome. She is kept clean and tidy and nothing is too much for the carers. They have a laugh and a joke with her as well as us when we visit. The food is lovely by what my gran tells me. The activities are good and she can mix with the other

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.812)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.812) out of 10 for Barchester Oulton Park 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.812 for Barchester Oulton Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (285 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 345 Ratings = 4.812

  • 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 Barchester Oulton Park Care Home is based on 29 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 29 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.

Hello, my name is Amy and I am the Hairdresser here at Oulton Park.


I am available in the Salon every week to ensure the residents are looking they're very best and I always try to be available for special occasions too.


It is always so lovely to chat with the residents and find out the latest news about what they have been doing and all their fantastic stories too about their interesting lives.
