I had a fall and could not look after myself at home, and could not find a carer. I came for a rest to help me recover. I found the room large, comfortable did restful. There are more staff about than I expected and they are friendly helpful and well trained. If I need this kind of support in the future
I shall apply here.

My godmother arrived at Oakham Grange in October 2025 following respite elsewhere and the realisation she was unable to live in her own home any longer, even with support.
From the moment I spoke to Emma, the Care Pathway Manager arranging a room, to all staff supporting my godmother through a somewhat
tricky and upsetting settling in period for her, due to her condition, nothing has been too much trouble. The staff are polite, professional caring and attentive and nothing is too much trouble, including sourcing a McDonalds milkshake for breakfast!!!
Everyone is friendly from the nursing staff to the housekeeping staff and activities co-ordinator.
Staff respond quickly to emails and deal with any concerns raised at the earliest opportunity. They have kept us informed in with any issue regarding my godmother which is very reassuring.
I am a former adult and paediatric manager and have been impressed by the care and compassion staff convey to all residents.

In our experience, Oakham Grange provides excellent care. We greatly appreciate their flexibility and understanding as my aunt undergoes a difficult transition towards relinquishing her independence. The environment in the home is warm, clean and comfortable with good provision for both privacy and
community. The staff are friendly and compassionate and appear to genuinely enjoy their work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Grange was amazing from start to finish. We had tried 5 care homes which all either rejected us or we rejected them.
The grange did not turn us away but worked with us to help our father find the right home for him. To do this we arranged a faux wine tasting for my father which the grange and
emma in particular went along with.
The daily reviews were a god sent and the level of care that was provided was top notch.
In those final moments you could see the genuine care and love for my dad.
Can not say thank you enough.

My husband (R.W.) has been residing at Oldham Grange for 4 and a half months. He has multiple medical diagnoses but for me the most difficult to accept and cope with is his dementia which has rapidly progressed in the last 6 and a half months. Behaviour and subsequent care management can be very challenging
and I have witnessed on multiple occasions great patience, concern, gentleness and respectfulness for privacy and dignity by staff as they cope with these difficult and trying situations. I am kept informed and consulted from time to time, and emotionally cared for and supported as well. I was initially attracted to OG's family-centred philosophy of care and I have experienced this much to my satisfaction. Last Sunday several family members wwere enabled by OG to enjoy a Sunday lunch with R. to celebrate his 89th Birthday. It was a happy occasion for R. and his family to come together in lovely, comfortable and safe surroundings and be served a super lunch all carried out with love and care.

Over the past four months of my wife's residency, I have been a regular visitor to Oakham Grange. During that time, it has been a comfort to see my wife securely settled in such a well-designed, well-equipped and well-maintained home where her medical, personal and social needs can be met. This is largely
due to the hard work and commitment of the staff - all of whom are welcoming, helpful and always keen to improve the service they offer by addressing any problems that arise. No care home can be perfect - but Oakham Grange manages to tick many of the boxes. Many thanks to all concerned.

I have experienced kindness from 99% of staff. Good care. Pleasant room. Good food. Would like breakfast at 8.30.
Some activities here been cancelled at short or notice which is disappointing, especially at weekends. As a registered blind resident these activities are essential. Food - very limited
choice
Reply from Robert Myers, Head of Care Pathways at Oakham GrangeThank you for sharing your thoughts, as we know you are a very frequent visitor. Person centred care means breakfast is prepared for your mother at a time she wishes, which we appreciate isn't always a time which works for you. We agree food is really important, which is why all meals here are prepared within the home fresh each day by the Chef led team, a team your mother has regularly complimented. The menu (which always has a minimum of two hot options) is reviewed every 4 weeks to make the most of seasonal changes, however if nothing on it appeals, the team will prepare something else, like an omelette with choice of filling.

From my first contact with Oakham Grange, when I was looking for respite care for my husband, following a poor experience at another home, we have been treated professionally and with respect. My husband is now a permanent resident and is being very well cared for. Staff are proactive in monitoring
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.

After a 12 week hospital stay, my Dad had deteriorated in many different aspects of his health and wellness. He was discharged from hospital to Oakham Grange, and we could not be happier with the progress that he has made in just 3 weeks of being there. It is a very calming, homely environment with
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.

Never had a single thing to complain about. Everyone has been friendly, kind and helpful. All the staff have been amazing in their professionalism, and no task is too onerous. The activities are enjoyable and high quality. The pianist is wonderful and everyone enjoys his performances. The facilities
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.

As the son of residents at Oakham Grange, I'm incredibly grateful for the exceptional care provided.
From day one, the team has offered not only outstanding support but also a consistent, warm, and respectful environment that truly feels like home.
The staff are consistent and familiar faces who
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.

My mother has always been independent but after the loss of her husband last year a serious medical issue followed and she deteriorated quickly
She was given a matter of weeks to live
The shock and fear for everyone was intense I was totally out of my depth.
By some miracle she stabilised we tried
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.

Dad came in for ten days respite care. Despite him having advanced Alzheimer's . I could tell my dad was happy here. The management here are on the ball and very supportive. My dad was on the first floor, the manager of this floor is excellent. She leads by example. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Best respite stay my father has had.

Simply thank you for caring about your residents and their families. We always feel welcome when visiting and often hear (and see!) how good the food is, how kind and respectful the staff are, and the discreet reassuring support on offer when needed, while allowing independent choice where possible.
It is reassuring to know that they are being well cared for when we are unable to be there.

I have never written a review before but I feel so strongly about Oakham Grange that I had to. The manager and all the team are so helpful and kind. My mum was welcomed and looked after from the moment she arrived in June 2024.
Oakham Grange is clean and the atmosphere really gives a 'home from home'
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.

My mother moved into Oakham Grange in July and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.
From the moment you walk into the reception area, you feel wrapped in a calm, friendly atmosphere.
Everywhere is kept exceptionally clean, the rooms are amazing, very spacious and nicely decorated.
All
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

From talking to the family of the resident of The Grange and my own experience when visiting, I just feel the Grange could do better. Service is very slow. The staff are very kind but have no sense of urgency about them. If my friend needs help going to the toilet sometimes she has to wait 15 mins for
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.
Reply from Robert Myers, Head of Care Pathways at Oakham GrangeThank you for your review and for sharing your concerns, however in the future please report these straight away to any staff on duty, the Service Manager (or if you prefer to email, their contact details are on their profile picture by the main Household entrance), or to the General Manager whose office is directly opposite the reception signing in desk. The sooner we can hear about niggles, the sooner we can prevent them from turning into problems. Thank you, OG
