b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.627 for The Oaks Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (57 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 83 Ratings = 4.627
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.962 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Oaks Residential Care Home is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 5.2 positive Reviews (26 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 5 Reviews ÷ 5.2 Target = 0.962

I found the staff and manager to be so caring and helpful. The food looks really good and I think The Oaks has a really homely feel.
The place needs a bit of updating and the decor is antiquated but I was more interested in the care.
I will definitely use The Oaks again and hope to use it in December and I have recommended it to a friend for her mum.

My uncle is cared for very well. By his own choice he stays in his room, but is frequently checked on by the staff, he cannot communicate very well as he is deaf, but the staff try to communicate with him by writing and pictures. Overall, the home is clean and has never smelled of urine etc, which is something I have experienced in other care homes. Overall, this family are pleased with this level of care.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Christopher W (Son of Resident) on Thursday 1 June 2017. Relates to April 2017.
My mother moved into the residential part of The Oaks in January 2017 after not being fully able to cope living on her own due to poor health. My mother is now over 102 years old.
The manageress, who is very approachable, moved very quickly when contacted by my wife and offered suitable accommodation at a reasonable price.
Under her guidance, my mother's health has improved tremendously. She is regularly seen by the doctor and chiropodist etc...
She has excellently prepared regular meals, her personal hygiene is excellent and clothes are washed daily, she is always well presented and there is a carer available to see to her needs day or night.
I am happy to know that my mother is being well looked after and in a friendly environment.

My mother was very well looked after during her recent stay here. Her room was homely, the food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. There was a range of activities during her stay and a visiting hairdresser who made my mum look like herself again so she was very happy.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Norman T (Son of Resident) on Wednesday 28 September 2016. Relates to September 2016.
After visiting several care homes in the area, we selected this home to provide 4 weeks respite for my 93-year-old mother, following a fall at home. The management strategy at this care home reflects very favourably throughout. All members of staff treated each individual with the utmost respect, kindness and consideration and nothing was too much trouble. The complexities and arrangement of my mother's medical requirements were dealt with by the manager and her staff which lifted a heavy burden off our shoulders.
