Visiting Mum from overseas it is so so nice to see her comfortable in her spotless room -
all her laundry is done perfectly.
Wonderful attention by some of the care staff and some of the staff spoke with genuine affection for Mum and knew all the little things important for her.
Mum appreciates the
visiting hairdresser -
Lots of outings organized which is a lot of work no doubt to organize. Zoo coming up.
The meals are always lovely and good quality -
We are able to take Mum out quite a lot into town - staff very understanding on getting Mum ready in time.
With many thanks to all the staff for the loving touch - we can see how hard you are working and the demands are not easy.
Excellent cleanliness at Oaklands.

Thanks to everyone at Oaklands for looking after our dad particularly the staff the family know well but also many others who provided care to him over the last 22 months or so. His care has been excellent and we were always confident that he was being looked after by caring, attentive staff. We visited
often and were always made to feel welcome and the staff were happy to answer our questions and the place was always clean. We were kept informed about how Dad was doing and, particularly in his last days were kept Up-to-date about his end-of-life care which we were extremely grateful for. My dad was often a feisty character but he was always treated with patience, compassion and, something he liked, humour!
We are grateful for the time and care you showed towards Bill and will not hesitate to recommend the home to others requiring the same, excellent care.

The care my father is receiving at Oaklands is excellent. The staff are all very patient and gentle, they have taken the time to get to know Dad and his likes/dislikes and the care is tailored to his personal needs and preferences. The standard of nursing care is extremely high, Dad was in a very frail
condition on admission to the home and his general health has greatly improved. The home has a friendly, homely, supportive atmosphere, and lovely gardens for residents. Communication between staff and family/residents is very good with the senior staff ensuring they are aware of our wishes and putting plans in place for Dad's ongoing care.
It has been a relief for our family to know that Dad is being so well looked after and we can now enjoy the time we have to spend with him as opposed to worrying about his mental and physical deterioration.
We would have no hesitation recommending Oaklands to other families.

The care my father-in-law received at Oaklands was gentle, kind and exceptionally patient! We are very grateful. It was really good to know he was in such good hands. The building is a lovely old-fashioned one in a good way, for elderly people. It was very clean and fresh, his room was kept really nicely.
The manager is very kind and helpful, and the nurses are readily available to chat and help either in person or on the phone. The carers are so gentle and incredibly patient and respectful. Thank you.

Mum has very poor mobility and moderate dementia and went into Oaklands on the 12th of December. After 4.5 years we could no longer care for her at home as she needed 24/7 care. We visited many care homes in the Chester area and decided on Oaklands because of the homely atmosphere, supportive attitude
of management and the CQC grading of ‘Good’. It was also relevant that my Mum’s next-door neighbour had been at Oaklands for 3 years and was settled there. Mum is doing well and receives a high standard of care from some lovely nursing and care staff. The Sun Lounge at Oaklands where activities take place is a real highlight. I visit regularly with my Dad (90 years old) and we are made to feel most welcome and part of the Oaklands family.

Reply from Beth Trinidad, Registered Manager at Oaklands Nursing Home

Thank you for appreciating us! The care staff are so happy to hear your appreciation. There can be nothing to make us feel proud than having your appreciation. We will continue to strive hard to deliver the best quality care to your mum and to all residents who are living in Oaklands. Please always reach out to us if there are anymore support we could extend for you and your Dad. Thanks again.

My mum has been a resident now for three years. She is settled and content. I visit regularly. The staff are caring, welcoming and hard-working. My mum went into Oaklands 3 months before the lockdown and I was grateful I had seen her settle in before that commenced. When she first went in it was lovely
as I could just pop in and out easily and frequently at any time. Lockdown was hard, peering through her bedroom window in all weathers. However, things are more back to normal now and I'm really pleased with the variety of activities going on. The staff ring me if they have any concerns and I ask Mum how she is when I visit and if anything is worrying her and she always reassures me she is ok. Overall, she and I are happy with Oaklands Nursing Home.

Reply from Nidhi Grogan, Director at Oaklands Nursing Home

Thank you for your feedback! We are really proud of our team of staff - we ourselves have noticed how well they are working together and how much they care - I am so pleased to see that you share that view. Nidhi

My dad has been at Oaklands for the last four years and is very happy here. He had a stroke and at first, was unable to communicate or walk, but with the care and encouragement of the staff, he has improved to the point where he is able to hold conversation and get around with the help of a frame, which
has given him some of his independence back. He is encouraged to join in socially and has made a few good friends with other residents too. When I visit, I feel like I am seeing him in his own home and am welcomed by other residents and staff alike. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are considerate of everyone's pride and dignity. Activities are constant and relatives are invited along to join in, which makes for a great atmosphere. Thank you!

Reply from Beth Trinidad, Registered Manager at Oaklands Nursing Home

We felt humbled by your review! Thank You! We take pride in the way we do. We treat your Dad as our own and he does treat us his children and we love him for that. Most of us find that we found a family in the Home. Treating everyone as their Mum and Dad. Family members like yourselves, who are very understanding and kind to have confidence in us is the the pride that we cherish. Again Thank You, and we are always here if you need anything!

The quality of care my mum has received is excellent. The carers treat her with respect and understanding. I cannot praise them highly enough.
The recent appointment of a new and fantastic activities organiser has been brilliant. She goes above and beyond and she raises the mood of the whole home.
The nurses work extremely hard and are very knowledgeable. It's a first class home.

My mum recently passed away. She had spent the last 6-years of her life at Oaklands Nursing Home. She received amazing care and tolerance for her strong character, making her feel cared for, safe and respected. The staff were efficient, tentative and responded well to my mum's needs. Over the last month,
Mum began to lose her spark, and in the last 8-days had begun to weaken. She was attended to with tenderness and dignity by the staff until she passed away and was at peace. Forever grateful.

My husband has been here for four weeks. He is always clean and tidy, as his room. When I come to visit, the staff treat him with dignity and are so caring. He doesn't hear very well; I'm sure that's making caring a lot more difficult. He tells me the food is very good, and I'm nearly always invited
to have a drink of tea. Covid is making things difficult regarding visiting, but it won't last too much longer - here's hoping. We are really happy and grateful for the care he is receiving.

Bearing in mind I have not actually been in Mum's room, only seen it from the outside. I have only seen Mum in the garden and I recall one occasion in July, we were sitting in the garden. Everyone spaced 2 meters apart for Coronavirus. Soft music playing, a trolley came round with tea and soft drinks.
Mum looked so content. The staff are lovely! Mum is very happy now.

My stay so far has been very settling because the staff treat us so well, you could say home from home and nothing is too much trouble for them, but they are very rushed when short-staffed, mainly at meal and changeover times.

Reply from Beth Trinidad, Acting Home Manager at Oaklands Nursing Home

Good to hear that you are settling well at Oaklands. And thank you for giving us excellent scoring! On behalf of Oaklands Management and Care Staff Team, I would like to extend my sincerest apologies for your experience with the staff being rushed when short-staffed, mainly at mealtimes and changeover times. I have spoken to the staff regarding this concern. I do know, that this happens. During mealtimes, staff will be allocated to assist residents according to their individual needs. Some residents needs may take time to be assisted, and for those who are independent with their meals, staff may appear to rush in serving their meals. This might be the incident that you are referring to. We pride ourselves in giving the best care and be fair to all residents. We strive to continue to improve the quality of our service and we appreciate your feedback. Rest assured that we will take your concern seriously and discuss this in our daily handover.
Any further issues, please don't hesitate to speak to me anytime.

We were a bit apprehensive at first to leaving but found that after the first week he was comfortably settled in and the care staff are brilliant with him as we know he can be a bit grumpy. He gets along with all carers (he has his favourites ha!). He loves the

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.266)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.266) out of 10 for Oaklands Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 7 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 4.866 for Oaklands Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 82 Ratings = 4.866

  • 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 4.4 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Oaklands Nursing Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.7

  • 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.
