Oakview Lodge Care & Nursing Home is an excellent facility. The rooms are spacious and bright, complete with an ensuite. The staff are very attentive and caring and are always there to help. The home has an extensive and varied set of activities during the week, including a cinema and pub for the residents.
The management staff have been excellent and very flexible in ensuring my mother is being well looked after. I am very happy I was able to get my mother there as a resident.

When my parent was admitted to Oakview Lodge, the first impression was that it does feel like a home and not a hospital. The corridors just in and out with bits of furniture and pictures which gives the feeling you're in a house. Looking down the hallways you cannot see lines of doors. The rooms are
very spacious with underfloor heating and ensuite facilities. Reasonable-sized double-glazed windows. The food is very good and the lounge area has lots of space with tea and coffee provided.

I can't fault anything about Oakview Lodge. The staff are amazing. Mum has been in Oakview since November 2023 and is very happy. The staff arrange daily activities and keep us posted on Mum's welfare. Although we as a family visit regularly and take Mum out, she is always happy to return to Oakview
Lodge. I would highly recommend Oakview Lodge for your loved one. Thank you to all the staff.

This is a beautiful, welcoming home. There is a happy rapport between all staff who are exceptionally helpful and cheerful. The nurses are most caring and have given me the best of assistance after my operation. The ground floor room was clean and comfortable. There could have been more towel rails
and hooks. The lunch and dinner menu always has two choices. If none of the choices appealed I could order something special. However, there was not much guidance on what else could be served. It took me a while to come to grips with it. A good stay!

Reply from Clare Twiss, Home Manager at Oakview Lodge Care & Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your kind words and your review. I am glad that you enjoyed your stay. I appreciate the feedback regarding meals and towel rails and will follow up with the relevant teams. Stay well, and you know where we are if you need us again in the future. Please feel free to pop in when you are over this way.

We are beyond grateful for the extraordinary care my father has received over these last 4 years. This environment goes way beyond the hotel-like facilities that you first encounter. My dad is treated with dignity, love and humour and above all is listened to 24/7. My mother who comes to visit, is also
looked after with grace and subtlety. Neither have ever been pushed into doing anything that doesn’t suit them. Nothing is forced or hurried. These wonderful caregivers answer a calling. It shows in all they do.
Many times we managed to bring our entire family together from all over the globe. We had access to the large dining room for a huge feast. After that, we moved to the pub and loudly played music from our parent's era. We danced, sang, lived and loved through the rest of the day. Throughout, my dad had his diaper changed, his medication given and all needs seen to. This care continues daily. To all of you at Oakview Lodge; Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

Reply from Clare Twiss, Home Manager at Oakview Lodge Care & Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your kind words, I will share them with the team. Working in care is a privilege, and we are grateful for your trust in us to care for your wonderful father.

It is difficult watching a loved relative face multiple challenges of ageing. I spend a lot of time with Mum when I visit and am reassured that her physical pain, discomfort and confusion are relieved through the myriad of skills and qualities staff offer by their ongoing concern and love for the residents.
It is a happy place which stimulates humour and engagement amongst residents. Staff will listen, advise and adjust care if needed when I have questions. Activities are varied, fun, tailored to individual interests and constantly adjusted to enable Mum to join in as her needs change. Mum took a dip during necessary moves between Health Care environments, but through the attention and stability she now receives her humour has returned, observation sharpened and smiles abundant! I am grateful also, for how I am made to feel welcome in their homely environment where I can make myself and Mum a decent cuppa and enjoy the time we have left together.

Since my wife became a resident in December 2022, the care and support have been of a very high standard. This is thanks to an excellent team of carers, nurses, and the home manager. All rooms are clean and tidy.
There are daily stimulating activities which are well attended and appreciated. These
are provided by an enthusiastic and engaging team.
There is a consistently good choice of menus and light refreshments as needed throughout the day. There has been good support whenever I have sought to take my wife out for a short trip. I am always welcomed whenever I visit and fully informed of my wife's care needs and plan.

The home is kept clean and maintained. There are activities every day and my mother is encouraged to take part.
Generally, my mother is happy with the food provided.

My mother receives excellent care, from her cup of tea after her morning shower to a sensitive 'look in' when she's getting into bed. The carers are polite, respectful and interested in her as a person. The activities are appropriate and inclusive; no one puts pressure on her to join in if she'd rather
read or watch TV in her room.
She is encouraged to be fully independent where practical and her visitors are always made welcome.
There was a period when service in the dinning room was poor but that's been addressed and it is now good.
The quality of meals is a bit hit and miss at present - but I know this is being addressed.

A warm and welcoming environment with a strong commitment to delivering the best care to residents.
Appreciate carers are busy but if those assigned to keeping bedrooms neat and tidy could also water plants, remove dead flowers etc as part of those duties, that would be much appreciated.
The recreational
activities are welcomed and it would be great if more could be done to keep minds and bodies stimulated!
Opportunities for improvement: there has been a noticeable decline in the number of carers and at times ground floor residents seem to be the ones impacted as priority is given to the 2nd and 3rd floors. There is also a frustration that clothing goes missing even though every item in the wardrobe is clearly marked with the room number. This is very upsetting as it's a matter of dignity that all residents should be wearing their own clothes. I have also seen dining areas with food on the floor that has not been cleared away between meals.

Staff turnover is very high, always different faces, dementia sufferers need consistency. Personal care is very poor, hair not washed, finger nails always dirty, toenails cut very rarely. Room cleanliness is poor, always fluff and bits of food on the floor, table is always sticky, windowsills dusty.
Communication is difficult with staff, there is a language barrier, unable to understand response. Emails not replied to in a timely manner. Never offered a drink as a visitor, always have to ask for a drink for my mum. My mum is often left with no glasses on, she cannot see without these.

I personally witnessed first-hand the lack of carers in this place. There was not a single day that the elderly residents were not waiting or shouting out for a carer to attend them. Some of the carers who attended my mother were so heavy-handed they left her in agony and in tears. They knew she was
dying but that didn’t matter! In the end, one of the females in our family stayed in the room as they attended to our mother. Do not be fooled by the appearance of this place it looks like a hotel but behind the flaps of paint are horrendous cracks! We ended up sleeping there because I did not believe my mother would have been attended to properly during the night if left alone. I can honestly say that I live with guilt and regret that my wonderful mother spent her final days in that place!

Dad was exceptionally well cared for from the minute he arrived. All the staff were kind, caring and considerate, taking time to understand him, his needs and his character,

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.492)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.492) out of 10 for Oakview Lodge Care & Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.492 for Oakview Lodge Care & Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (194 Excellents x 5) + (71 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (9 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 295 Ratings = 4.492

  • 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 Oakview Lodge Care & Nursing Home is based on 23 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 23 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.
