Review from Jane S (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 October 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would like to write about how good the Oaklands is. My father lived there from May 2015 - September 2016. He loved it there. I spent time at Oaklands when my father became ill and the staff were brilliant to my mother and I. They were so caring about my father. It gave my family a great comfort to
know they cared for all the residents. The staff are friendly and always happy and yet very professional at all times. I will miss visiting Oaklands. It has a great atmosphere. I love the decor too. Top marks 100%

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband passed away on Friday 30th September 2016 at Oaklands. The care and love my husband received was second to none. The staff also cared for me and my family. Nothing was too much for them. My husband loved all the staff and was always happy and smiling.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.718)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.718) out of 10 for Oaklands Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.718 for Oaklands Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.718
  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 Oaklands 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:

    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 53 registered maximum number of service users is 10.6, which has been reached with 11 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: Deputy Manager

Staff member's profile info: I started my career in health and social care 20 years ago, in a small Nursing home that was then bought out by Kingsley Healthcare. I worked for Kingsley Healthcare in different settings until 2018, where I wished to progress in my role and started my journey in care home management. I am very happy to have rejoined the Kingsley team last year as deputy manager at Oaklands. I have experience in Nursing, Dementia and complex care, and I enjoy sharing my gained skills and knowledge with the team at Oaklands. Oaklands is a beautiful home, with wonderful grounds, gardens communal spaces. The warm welcome I have received since joining the team is a real credit to the company's values and culture of the home.

Job Title: Hospitality Manager

Staff member's profile info: I have worked in event management and hospitality for the last 30 years, working mainly in London. I joined the team at Oaklands to make a difference to our residents. I try to make sure the residents feel at home in their surroundings and enhance their daily life with a smile, activities, time to talk and making them feel special. We have a wonderful team here at Oaklands with staff who go above and beyond caring for residents as if it were their own family members.


I have 2 children and enjoy family time with them and wider family as much as I can. I love entertaining at home, amateur dramatics and travelling on holidays all over the world as much as I can. I was lucky enough to visit Borneo and spend time with orphaned orangutans, amongst other amazing things, in such an amazing country. I love my job here at Oaklands and am determined to make a difference to our residents and staff
