Our family member had been treated with respect and kindness. We are kept informed of any medical appointments and any change in health if necessary.
They allow the residents wife to attend lunch with him and she has taken this opportunity up for Easter and Christmas Day. She visits regularly and
had attended some of the entertainment afternoons, which she also enjoys.
All in all this is a lovely little care home set in a village location.

I can not over emphasise how good the care my mother receives. She has been in Oakleigh for the last eighteen months and the staff have been most supportive of her failing health. I get notified whenever there are more serious issues, so the communication is great. All the staff are welcoming when I
visit.

My Mum entered the Care Home just before Xmas 2024. She and I found the introduction very warm and welcoming.
The staff are very attentive and also very informative and keep me updated at all times.
They ensure Mum is kept clean and tidy, even providing a hairdresser and manicurist visiting regularly.
Excellent
food and drink is provided at breakfast, lunch and dinner times and can be provided in addition if requested.
Happy smiling faces are clearly evident.

Care- comfort-kindness.
It's hard to give up a loved one, that has been cared for at home. Oakleigh and their lovely team of carers, helped both of us to do just that. I can visit whenever I want, and tea and coffee are never far away.
It's lovely for me that somebody can share my ' load '. Understanding
his needs is paramount, and providing help for any health issues that occur.
On a daily basis, there is ongoing activities most afternoons, and a carer to help stimulate there abilities each morning.
All delivered with Care- Comfort-and Kindness.

Thank you for your kind feedback. Were pleased to know that our support has made this important transition a little easier for you.

This is a caring, safe and homely environment. Oakleigh is a relatively small home and, as a result, the staff have an excellent knowledge and individual understanding of the residents. I feel that my mother is closely monitored and looked after with the utmost care. The home has a lovely garden and
outside space is very important to Mum. All staff - carers, cleaners, kitchen staff, caretakers and management - treat residents with respect and understanding. Enrichment activities are well organised and frequent - weekly arts and crafts, exercise classes, visits from local school children and therapy pets - to name but a few. Meals are home cooked in the kitchen at Oakleigh and residents are given a choice of main meals each day. Medical issues are closely monitored and the local doctor has a close relationship with the home - and is called upon immediately if there are concerns. Communication between the home and residents' families is excellent. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Mum was a resident with dementia, she was allowed to be herself with guidance and monitoring from staff. Her main pleasure was eating, she really enjoyed the wonderful home-cooked meals, and biscuits with staff who kept her company while she was wide awake at nights. The home suited her needs, space
to walk around with the feel of a family bungalow. Mum had stayed for respite in three different care homes, but came out very distressed each time. Oakleigh was the only one she returned happy, so we knew this was the best place when full-time care was needed.

Reply from Steven Styllis, Nominated Individual at Oakleigh Residential Care Home

Everyone at Oakleigh thanks you for taking the time to write a review for us, and such a nice review too. We genuinely do everything within our power to make Oakleigh the friendliest, family oriented small care home. We strive to give the very best standards of care and try to make our clients and in many cases their families feel like it's really home from home. Very best wishes to yourself and your family from all of us here. Steven.

My nan was well-loved at Oakleigh by all staff and, as her dementia progressed, her needs were met to make sure she was as comfortable as possible. The food is excellent, being home-cooked meals with generous portions. This was something that brought my nan joy, most other activities were a struggle.
As visitors, we always felt welcomed and the 'help yourself' cafe in the conservatory was our favourite place to go. It being a small independent care home, it really feels like a family home.

My auntie spent 26 months at Oakleigh Care Home. She was 95 when she went there, she was quite immobile, she required a lot of care and looking after, what I love the most about the home was that over two years, she was looked after by the same dedicated team and staff, and that says a lot for any business!
The
manager and her staff took great care of my auntie nothing was too much, my auntie was always left comforted and reassured by this dedicated and caring team, the food was always fresh, homemade and tasty, and the home was always clean and warm with a great atmosphere.
I would see residents relaxing in the communal rooms and there is a lovely coffee shop room for people visiting their relatives, all in all, I will give Oakleigh a big 10 out of 10 and recommend it to anybody, what we all got was peace of mind and that is priceless.

Reply from Anita Eastlake, Manager at Oakleigh Residential Care Home

My mum moved to Oakleigh Care Home at the end of November 2023. Since the day she moved in, the staff have been kind, caring and compassionate. They have accommodated my mother's hobbies and interests in order for her to settle at the home. The food is great, and the care is amazing. The home is clean
and tidy, with several communal areas to relax. Staff are always available to answer questions and responsive when issues are raised. Thank you for caring for my mum.

My Dad was a resident for approx 8 months. The Manager and her team worked very closely with his family to make sure that Dad’s care needs were met. The care home offers a safe, friendly and home-from-home environment, with trained staff who provide personalised care and support. The staff went that
extra mile to ensure my Dad was happy and contented living there. All the food is homemade and offers the residents a variety of meals and desserts.
My dad had the best time of his last few months in a loving care home, surrounded by people who cared for him and I felt like we were one big happy family. I would highly recommend this care home for your loved one.

Reply from Anita Eastlake, Manager at Oakleigh Residential Care Home

Thank you for your kind review we are so pleased you and your Dad had a positive experience, we aim to offer a holistic approach to care that not only supports our residents but supports families as a whole.

My mother is a resident and has been for three years.
The management and staff have not only cared for her but supported us during this time. During Covid, they did all in their power to ensure the residents were safe and, as a result, did not have one case. The staff's dedication shone over this
time, with many leaving their loved ones to care for ours. They still go that extra mile, which assures us Mum is in safe hands and lives in a home that truly cares about her.
The food is all homemade, varied and uses fresh ingredients.
Because it is a smaller care home and the staff have worked there for many years, they know the residents extremely well. This gives the home a comfortable, friendly, home-from-home feeling. They have many activities, which include crafting and exercise classes, which Mum enjoys very much.
I am extremely happy with Oakleigh and am sure all future residents will be happy there too.

The recent changes within the home structure have significantly improved the standards within the home. The care and support given by the carers to the residents has always been first class. The recent refurbishments have made the home much brighter and more attractive. The food is excellent, varied

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.892)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.892) out of 10 for Oakleigh Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.892 for Oakleigh Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.892

  • b) 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 Oakleigh Residential Care Home is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
