My aunt went to Tall Oaks for emergency respite care and ended up staying for 10 weeks. I cannot thank the staff enough for the kindness shown and care given to my aunt. Unfortunately no family live nearby, so we were unable to visit regularly and we will be forever grateful to all at Tall Oaks for
looking after our much loved aunt so well. As an emergency admission, Tall Oaks was not in my aunt's local area so we reluctantly moved her to a care home nearer her friends.

I am very pleased with my father's care, he seems to like it in there, no complaints off him. He enjoys his food, they do the food that he likes, personal hygiene is good, the only thing which could be improved is his bedroom, it does need decorating. Otherwise everything is quite good.

On arrival at Tall Oaks Care Home, all the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. My friend has been a family friend since I was a baby, like a second mother. She has been very independent all her life so much find it hard to be in the position she is in. When I visit she seems calm and peaceful
and if I call for help for her it is readily there. I cannot comment on the ratings not selected as I don't know the answers. Thank you.

All the workers at Tall Oaks Care Home work together as a team, with the welfare of their residents at the end of their thoughts. The meals are fantastic and activities are plentiful for some and slower things for others. The management has brilliant ownership of all things going on in the home, only
eager to help if and when asked. My wife is having a nice stay in the home now she is used to the staff and their ways.

My husband was in the home for a number of months, he had severe health conditions and went to Tall Oaks for end-of-life care. He was treated with dignity and respect and the care team made myself and other family members very welcome to the home, nothing was ever too much trouble. My husband was treated
with care and compassion throughout his stay at the home. The home manager was always available to speak with us whenever we had questions and she kept us fully informed of what was going on. The staff work extremely hard and the home was always clean and tidy with plenty of activities for the residents to get involved in. Thank you, Tall Oaks.

Mum moved to Tall Oaks Care Home in June after a stay in hospital. She was quickly moved to a room downstairs which was my request. Care for Mum is fabulous, the room is pleasant, the carers are friendly, supportive and accommodating. The manager is very helpful and listens to any problems we have.
Very clean and thoroughly recommended.

Mum is very well cared for and her room is kept clean daily, there is always a member of staff around mopping and hoovering. She has put on weight since being there and there is a variety of food given. There are always activities going on and Mum is encouraged to take part. The staff are friendly and
welcoming. The activities staff are lovely and always willing to help the residents. The home manager is very approachable and has started to make improvements to the home.

During the recent Covid-19 pandemic, the staff at my mothers care home have been nothing short of wonderful in the way they have continued to care and look after all the residents. The key word here is care because they truly do. Also, they kept me informed of how my mother was when she contacted Covid-19,
which was a very worrying time for me. They have also managed very well with all the flow tests at the door before the visit can take place. Wonderful care home run by wonderful people.

Mum is on end of life care, and the home and its staff have been really supportive and helpful at this difficult time. Nothing has been too much trouble, and the staff have been on hand to assist whenever a request has been made. Lateral flow tests have been done every time a family member has been
to visit, and drinks and biscuits offered every time we have visited. Staff have checked on us every time we have been in Mums room at regular intervals and updated on Mums conditions have been professionally related over the phone when we have rung up.

My mum spent her last months at Tall Oaks during the pandemic, and we were unable to see her until the last few days of her life. Despite this difficult situation, Mum received such kindness, care and consideration from all the staff that she remained happy and contented for most of her days. We cannot
sufficiently express our gratitude to all at Tall Oaks, who managed in the most terrible situation to make Mum feel as though she had come home. She loved them all, and we suspect that they loved her too.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.735)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.735) out of 10 for Tall Oaks Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 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 4.590 for Tall Oaks Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (51 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 78 Ratings = 4.59

  • 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 4.145 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tall Oaks Care Home is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 11 = 0.545

  • 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.
