Oakland Grange is situated in a residential area on the borders of Rustington and Littlehampton close to the coast and within walking distance to the beach. Originally a large Edwardian house, the home has been extended to offer spacious facilities. It is set in a south facing mature garden with a sun terrace overlooking the lawns beyond.

I am really pleased I found Oakland Grange when looking for a care home for my mum. The home always feels welcoming when you arrive; I particularly like the very airy lounge areas, nicely laid dining tables all with a lovely view of the gardens. Her room is bright, very clean and yet has a homely feel.
The staff are always friendly and cheerful and my mum has settled in really well now after being there for 6 weeks and is being well looked after.

Thank you.
Mum is a pleasure to have living at Oakland Grange.
I will pass on your kind words.

I have lived at Oakland Grange for almost two-and-a-half years and have been very happy here throughout. There have been two Managers during that time and both have been very friendly and helpful, as indeed are the entire Staff. The Home is comfortable and attractive and there is a lovely large well-kept
garden with plenty of seats and parasols scattered about. The standard of meals is high and all residents are frequently asked for suggestions as to any particular food choices they would like to see on the menu. In short, I feel lucky to be part of a friendly community in such a well-run and attractive Care Home.

After spending seven and a half weeks here last year and enjoyed the service of all the staff. I decided I would come each week and call the bingo numbers, and help in anyway I can and arrange for a baptist church service. Should my two sons be told I can't look after myself I am coming back here.

Review from Joseph F (Friend of Resident) published on 2 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Firstly, let me say that I have visited Oakland Grange on a number of occasions recently and the on-duty staff have been most welcoming. I have been impressed by the security at the entrance, and the compliance with Covid19 rules.
The standard of cleanliness appears to be very good and the absence
of trip hazards is also good. All the staff are very friendly and supportive.
Recently it has come to my attention that the standard of catering is below par. In view of the pressures of Care home companies to survive in this inflationary period, I understand that sourcing victuals is a major expense. But having paid for those items and then for the staff to undercook them is unforgivable. To serve undercooked meat is a problem for the fit and healthy, but for the vulnerable people in our society is a potentially life-changing event.
I sincerely hope that Oakland Grange can take charge of the catering staff responsible for producing undercooked meat as it is unforgivable.
Regards

The staff are welcoming every time I visit to see dad on a daily basis. They are all very friendly, helpful and sociable. Dad took a while to settle but with the encouragement and support of the staff is now much happier. The lady who does the activities encourages everybody to join in and assist when
needed. The gardens, building itself and the food are superb.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What a find! I visited several care homes when mum told me that she was lonely living at home on her own, she always told me she would know when the time was right and I wanted to make sure she received the best care possible. As soon as I walked into Oakland Grange it felt right, the staff were very
welcoming and knowledgeable, the residents all looked happy and everywhere was clean, a nice relaxed feeling. I took mum to see for herself and she was happy to go for respite care, well we started with 2 weeks then to 4 weeks now she calls it home and is extremely happy, she looks brighter, the food is very good and she is joining in all of the lovely activities, every day there is something different to do and take part in. I've no worries about mum's care, all the care staff are wonderful, fun, caring and go the extra mile to make sure everything is just right including district nurse visits, doctors etc. A big thanks to all of you at Oakland Grange for your care, love and commitment.

Mum's health is greatly improved since taking up residence in February. She is as well as she can be considering her health and age.The improvement is no doubt a reflection of the excellent care she receives. Staff are cheerful, attentive and considerate of individual needs. Entertainment is plentiful
and Mum takes part in activities she wouldn't have attempted a few months ago.

My mother has been a resident of Oakland Grange for seven-plus years, all of which have made her very happy. Staff are professional but still retain their warmth and friendship to both residents and visitors. There is a good feeling as soon as you walk in the door of this well decorated and spotlessly
clean home. The manager and her team are all to be congratulated on their dedication and good humour during these particularly challenging Covid years, which they have managed with such patience and skill. A really lovely place.

The first time I had been to Oakland Grange, I was very impressed. The cleanliness of the home, PPE, test straight away - a cup of coffee was made on arrival. I met the manageress and two other members of staff, who were lovely and very friendly - all work very hard and bent over themselves to help.
I would recommend your home to everyone; stunning and lovely home. Very impressed.

My mother went into Oakland Grange to recuperate from an operation and then, aged 95, decided she liked it so much she would stay. The staff and services at Oakland Grange are nothing short of superb. My mother was treated with the utmost dignity and respect at all times. It's a care home where everyone
really does care. Highly recommended.

My dad has been at Oakland Grange for 18-months. Everything is absolutely no trouble for the staff regarding my dad, and they look after him so well. He has mobility issues, so he is a challenge, but the staff are always on hand to help him. As his visitor, I am always made to feel so welcome. My dad's
room is very spacious, and everyone has their own TV in their rooms, and they all have call buttons. The food is outstanding and of a very high quality. Thanks to everyone.

I came to Oakland Grange following an operation for a replacement ankle. I did not know what to expect, but I got a very good welcome from all the staff and residents alike, and was a surprise how nice it was. The staff were very polite and helpful, and nothing was too much trouble for them, which help
to make it enjoyable and interested. I have told my two sons that if ever I cannot look after myself, that I will come back here to spend the rest of my days. A big thank you to all. God Bless you all.

The care that is given at Oakland Lodge is exceptional, in my opinion, with a real feel of loving care among the nursing team. All staff, I have found, go the extra mile for resident's to make sure that they are comfortable and getting the best care possible. The new manager has made a real difference
to my friends care and has made sure that her needs are met in the best ways possible, and just the overall running of the home feels different. Hats off to them!
I would gladly place my care in their hands if it was ever needed, and I would feel that I would be treated as a human being.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.873)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.873) out of 10 for Oakland Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.873 for Oakland Grange is calculated as follows: ( (415 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 473 Ratings = 4.873
  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 Oakland Grange is based on 40 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 40 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.
