The home does not charge any top-ups on local authority or self-funded fees.
The fees charged cover all of a resident's care needs, meals and activities.
However, there are additional costs for hairdressing, chiropody and dentistry.
The home encourages family and friends to visit. However, they operate protected mealtimes in order to help residents focus on the nutritious meals prepared by the catering team. The home asks that visitors avoid arriving during meals.
There is ample parking onsite.
The Oaks Care Home has a Review Score of 9.7 (9.702) out of 10, based on 9 reviews in the last 2 years. Over all time The Oaks Care Home has 56 reviews.

Please accept our apologies that your experience was not as positive as we would have wished.
We have checked our records and see that we have not received any written complaint from you.
Your family member was placed with us as an emergency respite as you were going into hospital. You visited the home once during your family member’s stay and I contacted you as soon as I was made aware of the issues you raised. We spoke at length about your concerns, and you helped me to understand your current challenges.
I was able to confirm that your relative had enjoyed long showers, was shaved daily at his request, and his clothes were also changed daily. Upon his discharge we arranged transport, and a carer to accompany him back home. We do feel that we did everything to ensure that you were supported and your loved one’s stay was as positive as it could be.
Please, don’t hesitate to contact me again if you or your loved one need further support. We wish you both all of the best.

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.702) out of 10 for The Oaks 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.802 for The Oaks Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (83 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 101 Ratings = 4.802
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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Oaks Care Home is based on 9 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 = 3.9
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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 9 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.
