An excellent care home with wonderful, attentive staff who treat residents with respect and individuality. The reception staff are extremely helpful and supportive and have made arranging visits and outings for taking my mother out so easy during a very stressful pandemic lifestyle. My mother is very
happy and content living in the home, and as a result, I am extremely grateful to the superb staff and their attitude!

Having been separated by difficult circumstances for 18-months, my parents moved to Oakham Grange in September 2020 as the first residents. The care they have received has been quite simply exemplary. Mum and Dad had 9-months together before Mum sadly passed away in June. The whole family has felt valued
and cared for by the staff through this time. I cannot adequately express my thanks.

Oakham Grange has been faultless in its approach to her and the family and made a seamless transition from one care to theirs despite Covid-19 and other related issues. They have done everything they possibly could to accommodate visiting, and we are very well informed on her care and health. We can
only recommend Oakham Grange in the highest terms.

Oakham Grange provided our mother with a wonderful welcome at a difficult time. The nurses and carers are all so caring, conscientious and fun. Everyone, including the chef, goes out of their way to make our mother’s life as pleasant as possible. The ambience and the facilities at Oakham Grange is excellent.
The rooms are spacious and well equipped and everywhere is kept spotlessly clean. The transition from living in your own home to living in a care home was made as easy as possible and Oakham Grange is an ideal home to spend the latter years of your life.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our mum had been in hospital with bowel cancer and related complications and had intended to return home, however, it became clear that as her condition rapidly deteriorated that she would not be able to. We wanted somewhere close to her home and her friends and after an initial review of care available
in the immediate area, we approached Oakham Grange. From the initial enquiry to getting her admitted the team were fantastic and played a key role in helping to co-ordinate her discharge from hospital. From the initial enquiry to getting our mum transferred only took a week.
Once at the home they provided great care for our mum and were very supportive during her end of life care. She was very comfortable and happy during her short stay. The facilities and rooms could not be faulted. We would thoroughly recommend Oakham Grange to anyone requiring long term, respite or end of life care.

The Staff at Oakham Grange proved to be caring, kind, considerate and professional looking after my dear (almost sister) at the end of her life. It was only really a short time, 5 weeks, but at the time felt like 5 years, I think they will agree. It wasn't an easy time for any of us. The patient was
'high maintenance', Covid and her declining health put the staff to the test. However, I was thankful that they were able to accept her and particularly being able to visit safely, at a distance, helped us both. It was sad that her health declined so quickly and that she was never able to enjoy the excellent standard of food and the other excellent amenities. It took her a little while to accept that she couldn't have a personal nurse on hand 24/7, but she was beginning to know the great team individually, having recovered from a set back health-wise early in her stay. I really do not know what I or she, would have done if Oakham Grange and the staff, had not been available. Thank you all.

It is early days, but the care home has been absolutely marvellous in taking in my mother.
She was unsettled at first but is getting used to this new setting and she also commends the staff and says the food is fine.
Everyone has been so helpful for me and my wife getting in to see my mother, currently
in the screened meeting room.
It is difficult to go from being with my mother many hours a day to seeing her just for less than an hour a day, but that is life under Covid.
It's great to speak to the staff and get updates on what Mum is now doing, they are very good at reporting and discussing any medical issue straight away.
I have to say that my knowledge is somewhat limited on what life is like for Mum because she is not entirely reliable (for obvious reasons) - she does look reasonably settled and happy as seen from my daily visits.

This has been a very upsetting time actually having my Mum admitted into a care home. But it has been made easier with all the staff being helpful and being able to ring whenever. Mum is settling in now which is a big relief, loves the food and wine! Also, I am able to see Mum through a screen which
is helping with her settling in.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.799)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.799) out of 10 for Oakham 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.799 for Oakham Grange is calculated as follows: ( (172 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 209 Ratings = 4.799

  • 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 Oakham Grange is based on 18 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 18 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.

Jesamy

Jesamy Rawlings

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2021

Hello, my name is Jesamy, and I am the General Manager here at Oakham Grange. I am a Registered Mental Health Nurse, having qualified at Robert Gordon’s University in 2007. I began my career working in Royal Cornhill Hospital in Aberdeen, in a functional assessment ward for those over 65 years of age who were experiencing acute mental health issues. I then moved on to working in a dementia assessment ward, and following that a challenging behaviour ward for gentlemen over the age of 65. Upon my return from maternity leave, I worked in various settings and then moved back home to Rutland where I took up a position as a nurse in a care home. I gained the experience and knowledge required to become the Clinical Lead nurse, which I absolutely loved.


I am so proud to say that I work at Oakham Grange, having been born in Oakham (back when Rutland Memorial Hospital still had a maternity unit and Dr Brentnall was in charge) and bought up in Uppingham. I am passionate about ensuring that we provide the highest standard of care possible to the people of Rutland and beyond. I believe that people should be treated with the same love and care that I would like to see my own family treated with and I strive to make sure that this is the case for all our residents at Oakham Grange.

Cat Statham

Job Title: Service Manager

Joined: 2020

At the age of 17, I started my Dip H E in adult nursing at Leeds University. I qualified in 1999 and started my first job in nursing in Ward 15 at Glenfield Hospital, which was a rehabilitation ward.


I worked here for 18 months while waiting for a community nursing post to come up as this is what I really wanted to do. I started as a community nurse in April 2001, and this is where I have spent the last 19 years of my career, all in different guises. I was a triage nurse for 18 months for the community and latterly from 2014 worked for a service called ICS. This service was rolled out to provide a multidisciplinary team approach to enable people at home, rather than being admitted to the hospital. I met my 2 colleagues Liz and Chrissy working here approximately 12 years ago and now a new adventure begins for the 3 of us as nurse practitioners working together to provide nursing care at Oakham Grange. This is very exciting!! To be able to work as a professional with friends whom you have the utmost trust and belief in is very special. My aim as a nurse practitioner at Oakham Grange is to provide autonomous, person-centred care for our residents.

I’ve worked with both Cat and Liz for over twelve years and we have a great working relationship with a wealth of experience that we can bring to Oakham Grange.
