Four Oaks is a care home for up to 62 people. All bedrooms at the home have en-suite facilities with a toilet, sink and shower. The carefully thought-out décor of the home gives it a homely feel while also being of a high-quality that would be expected in a hotel. Rooms are specially designed to cater for the needs of people living with a range of healthcare conditions and needs associated with old age.

Four Oaks strives to enhance residents' lives, with facilities including a fully-stocked library, a sunroom and a tearoom that is ideal for welcoming visitors.

Activities play a large role at Four Oaks. The activities coordinator organises a varied programme of activities and events and residents can enjoy regular trips out.

Four Oaks places great importance on the lives residents led before going to the home. Staff spend time with them and family members to find out about their tastes, history, hobbies and interests. They see family and friends as their partners in caring for the individual and they welcome feedback and suggestions at all times. The information shared helps to create individual care plans that are crucial in providing the best care and help staff get to know the individual. Residents are helped to achieve their aims by taking part in meetings, surveys and one-to-ones.

The home is continually committed to specialist training, which enables staff to help individuals express their needs and maintain a high level of independence, self-worth and wellbeing.

I would like to thank the two ladies who organised the activities they do an excellent job. The Queen's Jubilee and birthday party were great. My mum loves a good sing song and they always try to get her involved with different things. Mum has really come along in the seven months she has been at the
home and it's due to everyone who works there. thanks to everyone you all make it a beautiful place to live.

Reply from Kean Mason-Buckley, Home Manager at Four Oaks Care Home

Thank you so much for the review, I have had so much praise and positive feedback about the Queen's Jubilee and I am glad Mum really enjoyed the event too. Keep an eye out for more up and coming musical events, and we have a very impressive piece of equipment coming very soon.

I can't praise Four Oaks highly enough for the care my mum has received whilst she has been a resident there. It has a lovely feel when you walk it. It is kept beautifully clean, and when I have been there at mealtimes, the food looks and smells lovely, and I know my mum really enjoys it. Aside from
the surroundings though, what I feel is the most important thing is the wonderful, caring staff that work there. The management, nursing staff and care assistants are second to none.

Reply from Kean Mason-Buckley, Home Manager at Four Oaks Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to review us; it really means a lot to us all. Mum has been through a few ups and downs over the years, but on the whole, she has been settled, and I am pleased that you are happy with Mum's care. If there is anything we can do, then please let us know. See you on your next visit.

My mother loves living here, all staff are very approachable and very caring, can't do enough for my mum. Mum's bedroom is immaculate - always has clean clothes on every day and has a choice of meals which are freshly made that day. Mum can sit in her room or interact with her friends - she loves living
here - wouldn't want her anywhere else.

My mum was in Four Oaks for seven weeks for respite care whilst essential work was carried out on her house. After doing a lot of research, I knew Four Oaks would be the best place for her, and luckily, a respite place came available at the right time. My mum's care was excellent, and she really enjoyed
her stay. All the staff were so kind, and my mum 100% enjoyed every aspect.

Reply from Kean Mason-Buckley, Home Manager at Four Oaks Care Home

Thank you for your positive review of our home. It has been a pleasure caring for your mum and it was lovely to see she found a new friend along the way. Naturally, mum is welcome any time if you need any further respite in the future.

My sister was in Four Oaks for 8-months, and her care could not have been better. The love, support and patience was a joy to see. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, and everything was done with a smile, which the residents responded to. The home was run well with the manager available to everyone,
the office staff were courteous and very helpful. The support given to relatives was thoughtful and empathetic. I would recommend this home with pleasure.

Reply from Kean Mason-Buckley, Home Manager at Four Oaks Care Home

Thank you for your review; it has been an honour to care for your Sister at Four Oaks. It has been a tough year for you as a family, and I am glad we have been able to provide some reassurance to your Sister's care. We extend our love and support to you, and you are welcome to Four Oaks any time.

The reasonable adjustments made for individuals are outstanding. The loving care the staff give to each and every resident is incredible. I have seen my brother go from a distressed and unhappy person on arrival to a happy and contented individual in just a few weeks there. It gives me and my family
peace of mind to know he is safe and happy.

I made the very difficult decision to find a care home for my mother after she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer earlier this year. My mother lived at Four Oaks Care Home for two months while her terminal cancer progressed aggressively and she passed away at the home. The amazing team at Unit One took
care of my mother and was the most wonderful source of support to me. I visited the home regularly and got to know so many of the nurses, support workers and the management well. Without them this horrendous period in my mother and my life would have been even more intolerable. My heartfelt thanks go to the home manager and the team at the office. The truly special support workers and nurses in Unit One, four members of staff in particular and another special shout out to another member of staff. All of you supported my mum and I so well, I don’t know what I would have done without your support and empathy. You all have a really challenging job looking after residents who are unwell and need support. I will be grateful to you all forever.

Reply from Kean Mason-Buckley, Home Manager at Four Oaks Care Home

Thank you very much for your lovely comments and we offer our condolences to your family for your loss. It has been an honour caring for your mother and I hope our staff were able to extend their care and compassion to you as our family too. I have shared your heartfelt comments with the staff on Unit One and it has been warmly received. If there is anything we can do to support you then please do not hesitate to contact us day or night.

Dad went into the care home for respite care in April/May 2020. He came home at the end of May. I looked after him till Oct. He went into the care home in October for assessment. He was finally assessed in December. It was decided that it was best for dad to stay in the care home permanently. He seems
to have settled in nicely. All of the staff are very helpful.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.883)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.883) out of 10 for Four Oaks 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.883 for Four Oaks Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (174 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 196 Ratings = 4.883

  • 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 Four Oaks Care Home is based on 17 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 17 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.
