Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since the new manager, Rahima, started at Five Oaks, we've noticed a remarkable difference. The staff now work together as a team, and the whole environment feels more positive, lively, and welcoming. Rahima has truly transformed the atmosphere.
She is a very visible and hands-on manager - always happy
to help relatives and ready to listen. What stands out most is that she's not just there for the residents, but also for their families and friends. My family and I found it really difficult adjusting to the idea of our mum living in a care home, but Rahima has made that transition so much easier.
Whenever we call, we get a clear update on how our mum is doing, and we often receive pictures and videos that give us peace of mind. Her communication is excellent, and it's clear she genuinely cares.
Rahima is everything you'd hope for in a manager - approachable, compassionate, and always available to support both residents and their loved ones. She's truly made a world of difference.

Putting Dad into temporary care was the hardest decision we've ever had to make, but Five Oaks has been a blessing. From the moment we visited, the staff were so warm and welcoming, and we knew Dad would feel comfortable here. The grounds are lovely and the atmosphere is always friendly, but it's the
staff that make this place so special. They truly care, treating each resident as an individual and bringing out their personalities. After months in hospital, Dad had lost weight and was low in spirits, but since being here he's regained weight, become more chatty, and we've seen him laugh again - it feels like we have our old dad back. The management team - three of them - have been incredible, always supportive and approachable, and we feel total trust in them. We can't thank everyone enough for giving Dad dignity, joy, and comfort, and for giving us peace of mind.

My father needed to enter respite care during July 2025 and attended Five Oaks for one week. After elaving my parents decided that he should attend full time. Unfortunately this did not work out (he was mentally affected by being parted from my mother). I cannot fault the level of care he received,
the kindness of the staff, the quality of the site and building and the efficiency of the administration. If we are unable to make alternative arrnagements we woudl certainly use Five Oaks again. My only slight criticism was that the food was very bland for someone used to fairly spicy food. Quite importantly the cost was very reaosnable too.
Reply from Rahima Mulindwa, Registered Manager at Five Oaks

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. Were truly grateful that you entrusted Five Oaks with your fathers care during his respite stay in July.Were sorry to hear that full-time care didnt work out as hoped, but we completely understand how important it is for families to stay together, especially when emotional well-being is at stake. Your kind words about our team, the facility, and our service mean a great deal to us we always strive to provide a high standard of care in a compassionate and respectful environment.We also really appreciate your honest feedback regarding the food. We understand how important familiar and flavorful meals can be, and your comment has been shared with our kitchen team as we continue to explore ways to cater to a wider range of tastes and dietary preferences.Should your family need us again in the future, it would be our privilege to care for your father once more.

The team at Five Oaks are caring and compassionate. They cared for my father for over 18 months in his final stages of vascular dementia with limited mobility. The choice to place a loved one in care is extremely challenging but Five Oaks provides a social environment with experienced, genuine staff
and a superb management team. Beautiful gardens, nice bedrooms, good communication are particular highlights. I cannot express my thanks to both the core day & night team for how they supported both me and my lovely Dad at the end of his life.

From the moment we walked into Five Oaks I knew it was the perfect place for my mum. The staff were very welcoming and polite as well as diligent and committed to caring for the residents. My mum loves it here she has made many friends and feels very at home. Its honestly the happiest she has been in

My mother has been at Five Oaks for over 2 years having been diagnosed with the cruel Alzheimer's Disease.
While there have been some issues I am pleased to say my concerns have not fallen on death ears. The new Care Manager and her care team are by far the best which can only be good for Mum. Whatever
I have raised they have dealt with in a professional and sympathetic way. I am regularly kept updated with footage of Mum participating in activities which the care home excels. Five Oaks is a splendid home beautiful gardens with some exceptional carers all closely monitored by the Manager who is friendly and approachable. A special mention to her carer who works so hard in a very difficult job. The place is usually spotless and although mum will constantly be on my mind regards to her well being I can relax a bit more knowing she is in the best place and If there concerns I will be notified. Please don't let your standards drop!

Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt words. We're truly grateful for your trust and support over the past two years. It means everything to know that you feel reassured and that your mum is happy and engaged. Your recognition of our team, especially the carers, will mean so much to them. We will continue doing our very best to uphold the high standards your mum deserves. Warm wishes, The Five Oaks Team

My mother joined Five Oaks as she had broken her hip followed by a long post-operative spell in hospital with successive serious chest infections. When discharged she was still very unwell with a high level of need. The staff did everything they could to ease the transition, both for Mum, and for us
as a family at a very anxious time. The excellent care she has received has enabled her to thrive and her personality is now once again in evidence. Mum thinks that she gets special attention but on our frequent visits to Five Oaks we can see that everyone gets that special attention. In our experience all members of staff, whatever their roles, show the same respect and warmth to residents and their visitors. The home is scrupulously clean. Mum has had some medical issues and these have always been dealt with swiftly and followed through. Any concerns we may have have been addressed once raised with the senior staff. We are reassured by the care my mother is being given.

After looking at several care homes for my mother, it was obvious from the moment we walked in to look around that Five Oaks was the most suitable. My mum moved in November 2024 and is happier and much safer than she was in her flat. Her room was newly decorated and has a wet room and door into the
beautiful garden - it's perfect for her. She has been able to put up pictures, photos and personal items to make it more homely. The manageress is always available to talk and is very helpful. All the staff are lovely, from the laundry lady, people who dispense the medicine, cleaners and carers. Mum particularly likes the food, the very well cared for garden and visits from Monty the pet therapy dog. The atmosphere is always happy and the lounge always has something fun happening and all areas are spotlessly clean. I thoroughly recommend Five Oaks.

The level of care my Mum receives is excellent. She especially likes the daily activities and very varied entertainment that Five Oaks arrange.


The manager is professional, helpful and very friendly, showing great empathy and care for all the residents. This approach is mirrored through all her

care team.


My Mum has been in Five Oaks for over 5yrs and has become an increasingly awkward character, due to her Dementia but the staff never fail to help her and are extremely kind to her - no matter what she calls them!


Without her continued care at Five Oaks, my Mum would not have survived through the Covid era, and in fact would not be with us today.


The current GP is extremely attentive, has developed a personal understanding of my Mum's health issues and is always happy to explain and discuss these with us in a very engaging manner.


Mum will be 99 this year and we are very fortunate that we found Five Oaks to look after her.

Mum was always going to be a tricky customer maintaining for as long as I can remember, that she would never go into a care home - she developed Alzheimer's so we finally had to bite the bullet. It's not been easy for my sisters and I to place her at Five Oaks. Earlier in her residency, proving unsettled
and difficult to handle, we looked elsewhere but nowhere we visited felt as warm. The manager, has always responded to us in a timely fashion, she has personally dealt with our questions and worries in the most professional manner and with genuine empathy. She is attentive to the needs of the residents, respectful and compassionate, and demonstrates to staff how she believes they should all be carrying out their duties of care. We know we haven't been easy but she influences the staff, many of whom I feel mum is genuinely fond of, even though she still does not want to be in a home. We have genuinely been supported by the manager, and the carer and many other caring members of staff.

Under the current management mum has become more settled and content. The variety of activities and functions provided not only engage the residents but also create a sense of the community by bringing family and friends. The carers are attentive ensuring that the needs of each resident are met with
kindness and professionalism. the rooms are specious, clean and offer flexibility to make them feel truly like home. We were even able to bring in personal touches like pictures, keepsakes and a small sofa for mum.

My dad was admitted to Five Oaks in November 2025. Overall his care has been good. The leadership team (led by an hard-working, enthusiastic manager) is very good and listen to your concerns with care and follow up. The catering has improved in the time he has been there. The activities are led by great
enthusiasm by the activity coordinator and they engage outside talent with songs, music and physical exercises. The quiet lounge is available for those who just want to nap! Each individual is special and cared for with their individual need with great patience.


Room for improvement:
More engagement from family and friends of the residents. The care staff at meal times are busy but would love to have more staff and family members sit and chat at meal times with the residents to encourage them to eat. Agency staff should be kept to minimum. The staff do chat to and encourage residents at the lounge but more of this would be good and of course their family and friends.

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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.738 for Five Oaks is calculated as follows: ( (304 Excellents x 5) + (82 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 397 Ratings = 4.738
  2. 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 Five Oaks is based on 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
