There could be more staff which would improve things. They seem to be worked very hard with long shifts and do not seem to be able to get proper breaks with no meal provided. The staff turnover is fairly high caused by the above.

The care home is an extremely well kept and clean place.
The staff always seem to be smiling and helpful. The home has a variety of things to do during the day and evening. The one let down is the lack of trips out. This is due to lack of staff available to push wheelchairs. This is very disappointing
to those who look forward to the organised days out.

My mother has been in the care home for nearly 2 years. During that time, she has been cared for very well by the staff.
They have a good variety of food to choose from which promotes healthy eating.
They have regular outings which she really enjoys and my father can come along and enjoy too.
This
gives all the residents a big boost to their health and wellbeing.

My husband receives good care and attention since having a very serious stroke that has left him paralyzed and brain damaged.
The staff are very kind, helpful and courteous at all times and nothing is too much trouble for them. I visit every day and have seen this for the last five months since he
was admitted, so I see the care that is given and feel reassured that he is in safe hands.

My aunt spent the last 48 hours of her life in Oaklands and I cannot fault the care she received. She had only spent a couple of days in Oaklands the previous week as her first time in care and was then admitted to hospital. Despite being discharged from the hospital for palliative care on a Friday
with a very poor discharge letter, the staff took all our concerns on board and took very great care of her through her last hours.
Thank you

This was the second period of respite in Oaklands. The previous week (last year) has been successful, with no concerns. We had hoped to use Oaklands regularly. However, although staff were friendly and helpful, my husbands skin was not cared for. He had difficulty negotiating the very steep ramp safely
in his powered chair and there was no TV provided this time (had to rush out and get one a day of admission). These concerns were reported to management and appeared of be taken on board.

Reply from Andrew Savage, Managing Director at Oaklands Care Home

We are extremely sorry that we did not get things 100% right on this occasion, our Home Manager has addressed all concerns with care. We are also currently looking at the front entrance ramp, this is the first time we have had any concerns expressed about this ramp.

The home facilities and accommodation have improved in recent years due to the new owner. The staff are always friendly and helpful and my aunt always speaks well of them.

The new owners have recently invested in a new extension and general refurbishment of the premises to improve the facilities. The overall standard of care is good and the residents are safe and secure. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.637)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.637) out of 10 for Oaklands 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.637 for Oaklands Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (127 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.637

  • 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 Oaklands Care Home is based on 14 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 14 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2024

I am delighted to be the Care Home Manager of Oaklands in Doncaster. I have over 20 years of experience in care and have been a manager for 5 of those years. My decision to join the Oaklands team was driven by the amazing reputation Trust Care has and our shared values of commitment to exceptional care.
I look forward to continuing to provide high standards of person-centre care with the team here and also ensuring we carry on making a difference in the lives of our residents by providing the compassionate and personalised care they deserve.
