and updating his care plan and all staff (management, care and nursing) are willing to listen to queries and suggestions and implement change if it is appropriate. Record keeping is exemplary and I am kept fully up to date with any changes in my husband's care.
All family and visitors are greeted warmly at reception, the home is spotless and very well maintained, and clothing is well laundered. The range of activities is excellent and there is something for everyone, should they wish to participate.
Whilst always a very difficult decision to move a relative into residential care, Oakham Grange staff go out of their way to make it a positive experience.

amazing facilities and wonderful caring staff who treat both my Dad and our family with the utmost respect. The manager is incredibly kind, warm and helpful and has been a great support to us in helping with the transition of Dad's care from home, to the care home. I am very grateful to all the staff at Oakham Grange for providing my Dad with the outstanding level of care and support he needs to help him recover to his full potential.

are second to none and are made by the pleasant, helpful team. There has been no back-biting or back-chat -it seems a very happy place. The staff genuinely care and that's apparent. We have not heard any complaints from anyone at all. All in all a wonderful place to be.

are genuine, kind, compassionate, and professional which provides my parents with real stability and comfort. It's clear they genuinely care, always treating residents with the dignity and respect they deserve.
The home is spotlessly clean, well maintained, and welcoming. Meals, especially lunch, are always fresh and thoughtfully prepared. It gives me great peace of mind knowing my loved ones are in such capable, caring hands.
A heartfelt thank you to the entire Oakham Grange team - your dedication makes all the difference.

to cope at home but the pressure was too great.
I was forced to look for help and had no knowledge whatsoever of nursing homes except a rather negative take on them.
Oakham Grange has been a lifesaver, not just hers but mine as well. From the moment I first visited I had such a good feeling. Not what I was expecting at all!
Immaculately clean the staff are always at hand with a ready smile. A feeling of love care and compassion not often found in the world today. Medical needs are monitored closely and administered with dignity. The food excellent and of a continuously high standard.
She is approaching her 91st birthday happy and content. We owe Oakham Grange a deep sense of gratitude.

Best respite stay my father has had.

It is reassuring to know that they are being well cared for when we are unable to be there.

feeling.
There is always an activity or performance to attend to have fun at and interact with other residents. The manager and the staff even arranged a coffee morning for Mum, who was missing friends from the village she had lived in all her life, so everyone could come in and see her. Everyone was so impressed with the lengths the staff would go to arrange such a special morning for everyone in the community.
My family and I are so grateful to each and every one of the staff at Oakham Grange.

the staff (and I mean all - maintenance, cleaners, carers, nurses, office/reception, management) are conscientious, carrying out their different jobs in a professional manner, each has time for the residents, nothing is rushed and nothing is too much trouble. As a team, they make everyone - not only the residents but family and friends too - feel special.
I am so happy to have Mum living in Oakham Grange, I know she is safe and is being well cared for.
Thank you, Oakham Grange

that help. There is no consistency with serving of breakfast either, for example, sometimes 7:30am sometimes 9:15 - despite her requesting a time. There needs to be better management.

and kind. The staff are always looking for ways to make life easier and more enjoyable for my very frail dad. They seem to look after Dad and all the other residents as if they were looking after their own parents or grandparents.
I love the layout of the lounge and dining areas, where Dad can feel part of things as much as he is able. Little things count. The staff say hello and make me welcome when I visit. They are always happy to stop and chat about how Dad is doing and they are always well-informed because they communicate well with each other. It seems a happy place to work with great teamwork across all departments, creating a great atmosphere for residents and families.

arranged are very much appreciated by my Mum enabling her to interact with the other residents. The menus are very varied, so well cooked and presented. To sum up - I defy anyone to find anything or anyone negative!

residential care nursing home. I am lucky my aunt is a resident.

enjoy what they do. Although my friend was not looking forward to living in a care home, he told me that he wished he had gone to Oakham Grange sooner, as his quality of life has really improved, and feelings of loneliness and isolation are now a thing of the past.

is warm and friendly. The interior is light and lovely, and everywhere is spotless.
It has been such a great place for my father to stay, initially for a few weeks and then again for a further visit. Nothing is ever too much trouble for anyone and all of the staff, in every department, have been incredibly kind and caring of him, always with a smile. The teams seem to come together as one happy family.
Oakham Grange provides great support and gives me peace of mind. My father has made ongoing friendships there. I would highly recommend anyone considering care, to visit, and see for themselves what a wonderful place this could be for them too.

experience of touching a baby lamb, something she had never done in her 95 years.
Mum was not always well enough to enjoy the wide range of quality food offered but the staff always ensured any special requests were fulfilled. Latterly as her health declined the staff supported her feeding.
The staff could not be kinder and were always attentive to her needs and extremely friendly and kept us advised on her condition at all times.
Although she entered the home with a life expectancy of only a month it is only due to the level of care and attention she received that we in fact lost her 8 months later.
We cannot express enough our thanks to all at Oakham Grange for all their support.

access) enable lots of flexibility and ease of movement. The ratio of carers to residents on Mum's floor (Avocet) seems very high and the carers constantly observe and interact with Mum. They have managed to improve Mum's intake of food and drink, partly due I think to the relaxed way meals are served and the regular topping up of drinks. Mum starts meals very slowly and is allowed to sit at the table and start to eat at her own very slow time and continue until she has finished. That sometimes spans several hours. In the time Mum has been at Oakham Grange so far, I haven't experienced any negative points.
