On arriving at the home, we had to wait for someone to let us in. It would help if there was a bell to ring to get let into the home. We were taken to the second floor where my dad was in the day room. All staff greeted us with a smile and hello. We later went to his room which was clean, tidy and spacious.

My father has settled in very nicely. His room is kept clean and tidy. The staff are always friendly but professional. They treat my father with kindness and respect which is important to me. The manager is lovely and helpful. The food always looks good and my father enjoys them very much.

We visit on different days, times and always find my sister clean and tidy. Her bedding is spotlessly clean and her nighties are always clean. The staff we meet during our visits are kind and work hard in a very difficult situation. We have found the staff do a good job.

Overall, my mother is well looked after. The staff are very conscientious and helpful and friendly. My only concern is the general lack of communication from Charnwood Oaks Care Home and Prime Life. Everything seems to be communicated by phone, not email. During Covid, we would receive a phone call
to say the home was locked down but nothing to say when re-opened. Surely an email sent out with all the relevant information would have been easier. The prime example was the recent information about energy help for people in care. It was lucky that I spotted the last letter next to the visitor's book. Wouldn't it have been better to send that out by email?

Thank you for your comments. I will share your comments with the home management team as they are really pertinent comments to aid us in improving our communication with relatives.

Both my family and I have found the level of care is extremely good. Communication between staff and myself with regard to my husband's needs, health and care is very good. The staff are friendly and interact well with residents and visitors. There is good communication between management and staff
which shows in the caring way the home is run. I am happy with the level of care and respect given to my husband. He is happy and settled.

Although my brother has only been here for a few days, they have quickly identified and managed my brother's needs. The staff are extremely friendly and caring and although he is unable to use most facilities, the care within his room has been excellent.
I would definitely recommend this home.

The home's care and compassion were just brilliant. Staff were always so kind not only to our family member we had living there but to the entire family.
It was an extremely difficult time for all of us but we went home every evening knowing he was receiving the best care.

The outstanding care and dedication that I have seen has been consistent and sensitively offered to my relative. I found trusting others to care for my loved one extremely difficult, worrying if the standard of care would meet my high expectations; the team have taken the time to listen and take on
board my thoughts and knowledge in order to deliver a unique care offer to suit my loved one, working in partnership. They endeavour to provide an exceptional service; my relative is considered with dignity and respect, alongside providing for high well being. The atmosphere in this care home is very homely, professional and most of all happy.

I myself am a carer of over thirty-two-years experience and I have seen good and bad care in that time, so it was extremely hard to hand over responsibility of care for my mum to someone else, I have no worries becoming her voice if she should provide it but I doubt I will at unit 4. We were complete
novices about admission to care home routine and didn't expect on assessment for them to do her washing, so unnamed items of clothing went missing but the senior went above and beyond and took me to the laundry to identify the clothes and got them named. My father, who is in his 80s, found the whole swab and test thing confusing, was helped by a lady in reception which he commented helped him a lot and it has also put my mind at rest that the staff look after him also. The staff I have met have always been pleasant, happy and helpful, nothing is too much trouble for us or my mum, my only regret is that I can't look after myself but I go away knowing she is getting good care if not the best that she could.

Have a friend in unit 4 under the care of the senior carer. The senior carer and her team are helpful and cheerful and the unit is a nice enough place.
Only comment would be that my mum who was also visiting found the reception/visiting process a bit confusing but each time we were taken to the correct
unit by a friendly staff member.

My mum was a resident at Charnwood Oaks Care Home, unit 3, for a short time after discharge from hospital.
The carers were so kind and settled Mum in, she left hospital in a distressed state and the carers helped settle her and she was happy there.
Every carer I met was kind and respectful to my
mum and that made me reassured. My mum sadly passed away, in her final days, the carers were very kind to me and communicated how my mum was. I want to say a massive thank you unit 3, you do an amazing job.

I think Charnwood Oaks is an EXTREMELY good care home.


Care home staff do such a difficult and important job in normal circumstances, but since the start of the pandemic, this has been magnified hugely. The staff have been tremendous and really put the care in carers! Any issues that arise (and

lots of issues do arise when people are elderly, frail and living with dementia) are dealt with very well. Where staff need to liaise with other agencies they are very tenacious and will not be satisfied until they have the best outcome for the person in their care. A lot of effort has been put into enabling safe visits.
The environment is welcoming and very well suited to purpose but does not feel at all 'institutionalised'. The outside space is safe and sheltered, and my dad really enjoys the easy access to it that he has. A member of staff on my parents' unit takes her dog in to work with her; this is a huge bonus as our family has always had dogs and my parents love having him around.

After a stay in hospital my wife needed a transfer to a care home. Few homes seemed to meet all our needs so I visited Charnwood Oaks which did.
I was so impressed that I did not want to see any others and I am pleased to say that I have never been disappointed by our experience in Unit 2.
My wife
is not always cheerful, but when her mood is good she lets staff know that she appreciates what they do for her.
Her difficulties mean that she needs a considerable amount of care and this is provided kindly, cheerfully and thoroughly and she is assisted in joining in the social life and activities in the unit.
I myself find that staff at all levels are friendly, efficient and helpful, and I appreciate the efforts that have been made to maintain contact and visits during the Covid restrictions.
I would not only recommend the home to others, but also to myself if the need should arise.
It is a great comfort to know that whatever happens to us, my wife has a lovely home to care for her.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.297)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.297) out of 10 for Charnwood Oaks is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 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 28 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 4.297 for Charnwood Oaks is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (130 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (15 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 347 Ratings = 4.297

  • 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 Charnwood Oaks is based on 28 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 84 registered maximum number of service users is 16.8, which has been reached with 28 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.
