My father in law has been in Okeley for 3 months, he is very happy and very well cared for. We viewed quite a few care homes but knew straight away this was the top of our list. He calls it his home already, which makes us very happy knowing he is being very well cared for and gives us peace of mind.
Reply from Hayley Gibbs, Home Manager at Excelcare Okeley Care HomeThank you so much for sharing your lovely feedback. Were delighted to hear that your fatherinlaw has settled in so well and already feels at home that truly means a great deal to us. Knowing he is happy, comfortable, and well cared for is exactly what we strive for, and its wonderful to hear that this brings your family peace of mind.

Were grateful you chose Okeley after visiting other homes, and were proud to be the place he now calls home.

Generally good, nursing staff work hard, always nice coming onto reception - warm feeling. Cleanliness in mum's room could be improved, surfaces and particularly bedding with her stoma. Food leave a lot to be desired at times, and is often cold and bland. Still little understanding of foods mum should
not be served

Overall Okeley is a great care home, run and staffed by a dedicated team. The management team been fantastic, always supportive and addressed any concerns/issues immediately. All staff have always been welcoming and friendly. The home has a lovely atmosphere and is kept spotlessly clean on the whole
- although I feel that my mum's room could be kept cleaner, i.e. sticky surfaces and more attention to bed linen changes due to her particular issues. Activities team are amazing and always encourages participation. Food needs addressing, more variety needed.

We're delighted to hear that you feel Okeley is a great home and that our dedicated team, including management, has been supportive, responsive, and welcoming.

My 93 year old mother seems to be settled and happy to be here. Staff are so kind and caring and always have time to make her feel valued. She has been resident for 4 years plus and we have not seen the need to consider moving her. I am happy for her to remain here until the end of her days as her needs
are met extremely well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad moved to Okeley care home on the 17th March 2026 we visited many care homes at least twice to get a feel of the care homes and to see if any were a suitable place for him, as soon as we stepped into Okeley and met the manager the carers and admin they put our minds at rest straight away, we went
on a tour of the home and to see his room and knew straight away this would be the care home suitable for my dad, the care everyone shows to residents is just lovely to see, from not just the carers but management, receptionist, laundry staff, chefs, handy man etc you can tell they all love their jobs. When filling in this review I asked my dad's opinion on the care home and he told me what rating to give I think the outcome speaks for itself. If you are looking for a care home I would totally recommend Okeley without hesitation, the compassion, kindness and care is second to none, and we have great peace of mind knowing my dad is well cared for and in my dads own words "I love it here"
Reply from Hayley Gibbs, Home Manager at Excelcare Okeley Care HomeThank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. It truly means a great deal to all of us at Okeley. Welcoming your dad into our home has been a pleasure, and we're delighted to hear that you felt reassured from the moment you first visited.
Hearing that your dad himself wanted to give such a positive rating, and that he says I love it here, is the highest compliment we could receive. Knowing he feels happy, safe and well cared for is exactly what we strive for every day.

Thank you again for your trust and recommendation. Were honoured to be part of your dads life and will continue to support him with the compassion and kindness he deserves.

Dad has experienced many health issues since he moved in November 2025, and overall the care and empathy has been excellent. Recently challenging due to UTI delerium but some of the carers like Tilly have been wonderful to reassure dad and look after him. Tolu and Nimmy are also great with Dad. We are
also reassured by the presence of Mohammed, Mary, Sanjanan, Carmen and Shirleen. There is one carer that isn't as good with his bedside manner, but overall the experience has been positive. Just to add, Karen on reception is lovely and a credit to Okeley. Thank you to the team!
Reply from Hayley Gibbs, Home Manager at Excelcare Okeley Care HomeWe're truly grateful that you took the time to share your experience.
It means a great deal to hear that your dad has felt supported, especially through the more challenging moments. The team will be delighted to know their care and reassurance have made a positive difference. We're also very pleased that reception has helped make your visits feel welcoming-she really is a star.
We appreciate your honesty regarding the one carer whose bedside manner didn't quite meet expectations. Feedback like this helps us continue to improve and ensure every member of our team delivers the standard of care we strive for.
Thank you again for your trust and kind words. We're committed to supporting your dad with compassion and dignity every day

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.767)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.767) out of 10 for Excelcare Okeley Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 57 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 56 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

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 4.767 for Excelcare Okeley Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (549 Excellents x 5) + (104 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 678 Ratings = 4.767
  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 Excelcare Okeley Care Home is based on 56 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 84 registered maximum number of service users is 16.8, which has been reached with 56 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.

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2020

I joined Excelcare in 2016 after having been with my previous care provider for 16 years and wanting to develop my career further. I started at Sweyne Court in Rayleigh where I stayed for four years. Then in 2020, the Home Manager role became available at Okeley, and I was ready for the new challenge whilst staying with Excelcare, where I love working. It was the perfect opportunity.


I enjoy making people happy and comfortable and creating
memorable moments that the people living with us can enjoy and reminisce about. It is so wonderful seeing people previously isolated become social butterflies and make new friends.


The team are kind, caring and compassionate and puts the people living at Okeley first. They are keen and willing to learn, and I hear many positive comments about them from the residents and their loved ones. I am so proud to be part of the Okeley family
