My husband was brought in for end-of-life care on the 18th of January. The care he is receiving is excellent, nothing is too much trouble. I find the staff very helpful and friendly. My husband has settled in really well. I would definitely recommend The Oaks Care Home, 100%.

Reply from Jennifer Roberts, Registered Manager at The Oaks Care Home

Thank you for your positive response, the team really do work hard and palliative care is something they are very proud to be able to deliver to our residents. Working with families closely is really part and parcel of the roles we all play and having positive relationships supports us all on a day-to-day basis.

My review relates to December, Christmas time:
My mum has had the best Christmas for over twenty years with music, singing and decorations, it was amazing and she thoroughly enjoyed herself. The Christmas dinner was wonderful and the staff were happy and making a lovely atmosphere. Thank you.

Reply from Jennifer Roberts, Registered Manager at The Oaks Care Home

We would like to thank you for leaving us this review. Living in a care home is often difficult at first for some residents and particularly at Christmas time when memories of past Christmases come flooding back. We are delighted that, in your mum's case, we made it such a positive experience. Our team really do go that extra mile.

My mum is at end of life and has been in The Oaks Care Home in Newtown (Powys) for over twelve months. The care she is receiving is second to none. The staff are amazing and care for your loved ones as if its their own family. They are trustworthy and can't do enough for you. They even look after the
family, constantly checking if we need anything, drinks or food. We are so lucky to have their support. My mum is so happy and content as she can be with the circumstances. The home is always spotless.

Reply from Jennifer Roberts, Registered Manager at The Oaks Care Home

Thank you for leaving us this very positive and kind feedback, especially at such a difficult time. Providing end-of-life care to our residents is the final thing we are privileged to do. Our staff are genuinely affected when we get to this stage of one of our residents' lives and deliver the care with great affection and tenderness and due to the close relationships that we develop with our families this care always extends to them.

I have been using the home for respite for the last 3 months. Staff are always friendly and professional. Housekeeping are spotless and nothing is too much trouble. Family can visit any time they wish. The management team seems well involved and their door is always open even for minor issues. If something
is raised it gets actioned.

My mother moved into The Oaks, Newtown two days after it opened in January 2020. From the outset she has loved it. Lovely, caring staff who have treated her with respect and patience throughout. They could not have been better. Visitors are always made welcome and kept informed. All members of staff
treated my mother as family, always on hand to offer her a cup of tea and a biscuit (or two) whenever she fancied. She was well and truly spoilt and loved it. Home from home. Thank you, you marvellous people.

My parents have been staying at The Oaks Care Home on a temporary basis for a couple of months now on the Nursing and Dementia floors. As a family we all cannot praise the staff enough - from the carers to the housekeeping staff and catering - everyone has always been exceptionally friendly and always
go out of their way to listen to us and attend to our requests. I hear the staff always call my parents by their name, simple I know - but makes such a difference and reassuring to them and family. We are always provided with updates or any changes in my parent's health or well-being and feel just as welcome as my parents are. The home manager and deputy manager are incredibly organised and proactive and this certainly shows with their team. Thanks to all - as this has been a lifeline for our family during a difficult period.

Reply from Jennifer Roberts, Registered Manager at The Oaks Care Home

Hi Amanda, we would like to thank you for your feedback. We take all feedback very seriously and see it as a way to improve further. I will share your very positive comments with the team, it is such a moral boost for everyone when we have such lovely feedback and it is always appreciated. We are here to support your parents and with them, you as a family, as you know I operate an open-door policy.

Our mum has only been in the home for two weeks, after spending eight weeks in hospital. From what we have seen these last two weeks, it's a lovely home, recently built so modern and spacious with great facilities. Her room is large with good quality furniture and fittings and fully en-suite.
The staff
are lovely, very supportive, caring and patient. There is also a lovely welcome for visiting families, which is very important. The food menu looks very good indeed. So far cannot fault the place.
Well done to everyone at The Oaks Care Home.

My mum has been a resident almost from the time that it opened in January 2020. My siblings and I are very happy with the way our Mum has been treated. She does suffer from dementia, as a result of having a stroke just before she went into care, and Mum is looked after accordingly. She has always been
involved with many activities that they have planned, although she can't remember, the staff at the home let us know that she has been involved.
During covid when we can't get into visit, Mum's carers have set up FaceTime so that her family can keep up as much contact as possible. This has been invaluable to us to make that connection with her.
Mum has multiple sclerosis and needs two members of staff to use a hoist to get her in and out of bed and her chair. There has never been a problem getting assistance to do this as she has a button to press on her lap.
Mum always has a smile on her face, and we as a family, know that she is in the best possible place for her.

As a family, we will never forget the love and care my grandmother received during her final year of life that she spent at The Oaks. Clean, warm and homely. I was always taken back by the attention all residents would receive, not only by the carers but every member of staff. Cleaners, cooks, caretakers,
receptionists, nurses and management...the list goes on. Always a smiling face, someone to assist, and quick to offer a cup of tea! They are amazing. There’s a real sense of community and family in The Oaks, this was such a comfort to know during what can be a difficult transition.
Having full-time activities co-ordinators is something so important that I was very impressed with. There’s always something going on, catering to every individual's interests and hobbies.
My grandmother made some wonderful friends in The Oaks, not only with residents but some real connections with staff. We could sleep at night knowing she was safe and couldn’t ask for anymore. Thank you all.

My mother moved into The Oaks in January 2020. She was 88 and had dementia. She moved into a room on the residential floor. She was fully able to communicate and join in with those around her. We were able to totally personalize her room, with all of the familiar things from her home. It was beautiful.
The manager and all of the staff are nothing short of amazing. There is an openness and a genuine sense of friendship. Mom often said ‘The people are all lovely, and the food is good. Mom’s usual routine was kept to as much as possible. When lockdown happened, they continued to set her hair and her nails. I knew she was safe and loved. Mom passed away on February 18th. The love and understanding we experienced were incredible. She died in my arms. The care she and I received is something I will never forget. I’m so grateful Mom spent her final year in the care of such wonderful people, who loved her almost as much as we do.

Reply from Jen Roberts, Registered Manager at The Oaks Care Home

Thank you for your very kind words; your Mum was a very amazing lady who is missed greatly by staff and residents. You and your family created within Mums room a real home from home that she loved dearly. We are delighted that we not only met and cared for your Mum, but we also met you as a family, and those strong links remain in place. You are friends to us all at The Oaks, and we so look forward to brighter less controlling lives when you can visit us once more.

My Mum has Multiple Sclerosis and suffered a bad stroke over a year ago. After waiting for 6-months in the hospital, we were delighted for Mum to get into The Oaks Newtown so that she was closer to family. Mum needs a hoist to be moved from bed to chair and relies completely on the care of the staff.
I cannot thank everyone at The Oaks enough for the care and support they have given my Mum, nothing is too much trouble. It's been so difficult during Covid, but they have done everything to protect residents and keep in touch with families. We love our FaceTime calls, they are invaluable! They include Mum in activities as much as they can, and she always has a smile on her face. She has always been girly and really loves having her hair and nails done, and she says the food is delicious, especially the puddings! The staff are very friendly and caring, and I would recommend this care home to anybody that has a loved one. Keep up the good work!

The Oaks is a new care home with excellent standard, spacious interior and individual rooms en-suite and a good size garden terrace. It is clean, tidy, and has a fresh feeling. Great care is taken to keep the surroundings in good order. My husband's care is well taken care of; he is always fully dressed,
clean, shaven and comfortable. The activity team is doing their very best to engage the residents in various entertainments, puzzles, musical performances and whatever can be done to enhance the day. During the lockdown, the staff has been fabulous and supportive to residents and relatives alike and organised Skype talks. I am confident that my husband is in very good hands.

Both my parents moved into The Oaks during its first week of opening in January 2020. The management, staff, activity coordinators and medical team are genuinely caring people and have provided support and care for my parents, which is second to none. Their individual needs and preferences are fully
taken into account, and they have as much independence and support as they require. They are treated with great respect in a most friendly and caring environment. They have the option to do a variety of fun activities, and there are an in-house hair salon and nail bar. The Oaks has followed guidelines and introduced strict policies during the pandemic - the result being residents and staff have remained safe and well during these extremely difficult and challenging times. Not being able to see my parents during lockdowns has been very hard, but knowing they are being kept safe and well is paramount. I congratulate and thank The Oaks for doing an amazing job in these unprecedented times.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.638)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.638) out of 10 for The Oaks Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.638 for The Oaks Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (223 Excellents x 5) + (81 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 320 Ratings = 4.638

  • 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 The Oaks Care Home is based on 27 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 73 registered maximum number of service users is 14.6, which has been reached with 27 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.

Job Title: Clinical Lead

Joined: 2024

With extensive nursing experience, my journey began over 20 years ago as a Carer in a care home in Bristol. I later trained as a Nurse and, after qualifying and gaining a range of experiences, transitioned into community nursing. I worked in Northamptonshire and Powys for 12 years before becoming a specialist Lymphoedema Nurse, a role I held for six years.

After nearly 20 years in the NHS, I was ready for a change. My experience visiting residential homes—both as a Community Nurse and a Specialist Nurse—gave me valuable insight into care home settings, making this career transition a natural fit. Though this is my first management role, I bring a wealth of clinical experience and a passion for learning.

As Clinical Lead at The Oaks, I have the privilege of remaining hands-on with residents while also working behind the scenes to ensure we deliver the highest standard of care. I am incredibly proud to work here, alongside a wonderful team of nurses and carers who share the same dedication and commitment.
