My mom was admitted in September 2024, she has thrived since coming here, all staff have been friendly and helpful and supporting my mom with her needs. The nurses have been fantastic understanding and informative about my mom's needs even the reception team has been fabulous. I would definitely recommend
this home because the support we have had is second to none clean and welcoming and most of all the care for my mom has been brilliant because I know she is in the right place.

My 95-year-old mom was transferred to Oakview from hospital after a fall resulting in a fractured pelvis. I am more than happy with the care she is receiving. The nurses, carers and domestic staff are friendly and helpful. The residents all look happy and content. The home is kept spotlessly clean.
I would recommend Oakview to anyone looking for care for a loved one.

I came to visit Mum and noticed she was having a good time, When I came on Sunday, I noticed they were all gathered in the room watching a film.
It was a cinema night.
What a good idea and good night.
We need more activities like this because it seems to only happen with certain staff.

My mother was only at Oakview care home for a month having moved from one further away. She unfortunately died on Tuesday in her sleep. The staff have been fantastic with Mum. She died of Alzheimers Dementia so communication was challenging for the staff but they showed they had genuine commitment to
providing care with empathy, sensitivity and good humour. On the morning of Mum's death I was supported emotionally by the care staff and informed of the next steps with practicality and understanding for which I will be eternally grateful. My only regret is that I wish we had got to Oakview earlier.

Reply from Pal Grewal, Manager at Oakview Care Home

I am deeply sorry about the passing of your mother. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. Thank you so much for your kind words about the care she received at Oakview. It means a great deal to us that we were able to support her and you with empathy and understanding. Knowing that we were able to bring comfort to both your mother and you, even in such a challenging time, is truly humbling. I'm glad our staff could provide the emotional and practical support you needed during your mother's final movements . Please know that we are here for you if you need anything moving forward. You and your family are in our thoughts.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.910)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.910) out of 10 for Oakview Care 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 71 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 70 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 4.910 for Oakview Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (778 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 841 Ratings = 4.91

  • 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 Care Home is based on 70 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 97 registered maximum number of service users is 19.4, which has been reached with 70 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.
