My mum was a resident at Oakwood Grange for almost six years until she passed away in January this year. I cannot recommend the staff there highly enough. My mum had dementia and could not have been better cared for during her time there. The staff treated her with kindness and compassion and also demonstrated
a great sense of humour, which definitely worked wonders with my mum. This kindness was also extended to me and my 92-year-old dad. My dad, who visited every day ( apart from during Covid), were cared for almost as much as my mum and always made to feel very welcome with a cheery welcome, cup of tea or even a meal. The environment was always spotless, and Mum's room was beautiful. As it became clear my mum's life was coming to an end, the staff stepped up even more and always ensured she had the care she needed and was as comfortable as possible, sitting with her when we couldn't be there. The staff definitely made Mum's passing easier for her and our family. Thank you so much.

I was very pleased with the care and compassion given to my husband while he was a resident at the care home. He was well-liked by all staff, and myself and my family would like to say a huge thank you. I was a nurse in the 60s and also worked as a night carer in the 80s; I loved the work. My husband
was very happy whilst he was a resident there and often said he couldn't thank the staff enough.

My mum is 90 and has been independent at her own home until we could no longer keep her safe. Her choice was to go into Oakwood Grange above and beyond care and help has been shown to my mum and all our family. I was told on day one when I was heartbroken to use the home as I would my mum's and it's
her home not a prison! I didn't believe how lovely a care home and it's staff could be but I was proved wrong, it's amazing and Mum loves it. Thank you.

I have found everyone I have had contact with at Oakwood Grange to be very professional, kind and caring to both my mum and myself. From the manager to the kitchen staff. Everywhere is clean and tidy. They are well organised and nothing is too much trouble. I would recommend Oakwood Grange to anyone
needing 24-hour care.

Oakwood Grange offers a very warm welcome to residents and family members. The staff are all wonderful and cannot do enough to help. My mum when she stayed for respite at Oakwood Grange was treated with great dignity and very much enjoyed the interaction with the staff who treated her like one of the
girls and not an elderly disabled lady. After a fall and a long stay in hospital Dad asked to go to Oakwood for respite until he regained his strength on confidence.

I would definitely recommend Oakwood Grange. I cannot thank the management and carers enough for the care they gave my mother when she was admitted on end of life, fast track. She was only in for two weeks but the staff seemed more like friends and had so much concern for my mum. By having them provide
the care she needed it made it so much easier for us as a family to spend precious time with her. Thank you so much to everyone.

We approached Oakwood Grange for a bed for Mum prior to discharge from hospital. The management were excellent. The situation changed to fast track for end of life car they were still willing to take Mum (Her home is 200m from Oakwood Grange).
All the staff were caring. Fantastic to Mum and my sister
and I. She was there less than 2 weeks but the staff allowed my Mum and us to say goodbye with love and grace.
I cannot thank them enough.

Whatever is on my mind, I know I can go and talk to all the staff about anything; they all work so hard and deserve a lot of credit for what they do. Keep up the good work; I really appreciate it. They place bing, have quizzes and they have a singer in - he is brilliant. They all dance; it's great.
Thank you, everyone.

Oakwood Grange has been my home for 11 months. I have found it very friendly and cosy. It is kept exceptionally fresh and clean and we have every comfort available. The staff are well trained and courteous. The meals are very good and we have a choice of most meals. We are encouraged to join in activities
and games, so we are kept entertained.

My father came to stay for respite after being seriously ill in hospital and unable to look after himself. It was agreed that he could become a permanent resident much to his relief and mine. The staff look after my father with dignity, care and respect and have brought him on in himself, healthwise
in a way that is second to none. Knowing he is here being cared for is a great relief to myself.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.807)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.807) out of 10 for Oakwood Grange 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.807 for Oakwood Grange is calculated as follows: ( (144 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 176 Ratings = 4.807

  • 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 Oakwood Grange is based on 15 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 15 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.
