Review of Oakham Grange from John A (Husband of Resident) published on 15 July 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Care staff are trained to care. To some help and care is instinctive and kind. To others it is all a pleasant job to be tolerated. The Grange policy of moving staff periodically from floor to floor discourages. Dementia patients welcome friendliness to be warm and heartfelt.

Reply from Robert Myers, Head of Care Pathways at Oakham Grange
Thank you for taking the time to write a review.

We appreciate your feedback regarding staff allocations across our Households. While we hoped our recent face-to-face meetings had answered these questions and provided reassurance on why we operate this way, we understand that worries can still...

Review of Oakham Grange from A L (Brother of Resident) published on 31 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Prior to my retirement I worked for many years as a support worker, and therefore have personal experience of how challenging the role can be.

Since my relative became a resident I am pleased to say that overall I have had a very positive experience at the Grange. The residence is always clean and tidy and both staff and management are always polite, professional and helpful. And most importantly my relative is happy, safe and well cared for with both dignity and respect. Many thanks to all concerned.

Review of Oakham Grange from Helen B (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
From my first call one friday tea-time, Oakham Grange have been excellent in their care + patient service.

I needed to get my 83 year old mum in for emergency respite care that evening and they accommodated and helped me straight away, the staff were so kind. A nurse and senior support worker were waiting for us and instantly put my mum at ease. Her room is very nice and clean and every care need my mum has is taken care of with kindness, dignity and respect. She feels safe and looked after. I can't thank you all enough.

Review of Oakham Grange from Martin A (Son of Resident) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Dad has been a resident at Oakham Grane for around 6 months following a fall at home. I viewed around a dozen care homes before choosing Oakham Grange and am delighted at how things have worked out. The facilities for dad are excellent - he has a build in hoist in his room to allow him to be moved safely from bed to chair etc. The staff are very friendly and caring, the food is excellent and the general facilities top rate.

Overall Experience
Cat as supervisory manager (for my mother) uses her personal knowledge and understanding to determine the appropriate (and tailored) care programme for my elderly (and disabled) parent.

The facilities are excellent and the setting feels more like a home than a care facility.

Review of Oakham Grange from Paula C (Resident / Service User) published on 29 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Review of Oakham Grange from Kate K (Goddaughter of Resident) published on 28 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

Review of Oakham Grange from Elise M (Niece of Resident) published on 23 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review of Oakham Grange from Hugo H (Son of Resident) published on 19 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

Review of Oakham Grange from Alice W (Wife of Resident) published on 9 December 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Review of Oakham Grange from Paul G (Husband of Resident) published on 13 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Review of Oakham Grange from Dorothy B (Resident / Service User) published on 21 July 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
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 Grange

Thank 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...

Review of Oakham Grange from J C (Wife of Resident) published on 19 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

Review of Oakham Grange from Nikki R (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall 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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
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.

Review of Oakham Grange from C F (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.
