Review from J S (Wife of Resident) published on 24 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband was discharged here from hospital with pressure sores which are so difficult to heal - but with care from Oakleigh's staff they were all healed. He was looked after with compassion and consideration all the time. There are good activities here but he preferred not to join, mostly dozing comfortably
in the day. We had been warned he would not live long (he was 96) but in that time I and my family were welcomed and supported during all our visits. I would recommend Oakleigh without any reservations.

My uncle absolutely loves it at Oakleigh. The change in his demeanour is so noticeable to the family. He is more talkative and is really loving being here. He's told me, "I am living my best life". The food and care are excellent. I would highly recommend Oakleigh.

Since mam has been a resident at Oakleigh she looks very well and content, her colour has returned. All staff are approachable and friendly. Good choices of food.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mom initially came to Oakley from hospital in August for a convalescent stay. As she felt so safe, happy, so well cared for by wonderful staff and developed lovely relationships with other residents, and with so much activity going on around her, she decided to stay. We as a family feel relieved
and reassured to know that she is happy and safe and very well cared for, which is all that you want for your loved one. The house itself is very warm and welcoming with good clean on sweet rooms and communal areas.

My sister came to Oakleigh for respite after a hospital discharge in August and decided to stay permanently. The home is very homely. The staff are very friendly and caring towards all the residents and family members. The managers are very approachable and know the residents very well, being attentive
to their needs. My sister is very happy at Oakleigh. We have no concerns and are extremely happy she is here.

My father-in-law arrived here in March of this year. I must say, has settled in so well here.
His room is lovely and clean, as is the whole home.
The staff are extremely helpful and considerate and nothing is too much trouble.
And the care that Father-in-law receives is second to none. Definitely
the right place for his needs. Beautiful home.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.957)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.957) out of 10 for Oakleigh is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.957 for Oakleigh is calculated as follows: ( (472 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 491 Ratings = 4.957
  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 Oakleigh is based on 41 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 41 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.
