My grandma was struggling at home alone, the past few months she has been really happy here. The staff are lovely and always go the extra mile to ensure she is happy and comfortable. She is very well looked after and enjoys having her hair and nails done. A massive thank you to all of the team.

Mum has been a resident at Oakleigh for several months now, we are very happy with the care and support the staff give her. The new en-suite bedroom is very comfortable, the food is excellent and Mum really enjoys her meals. The whole team at Oakleigh are fantastic.

Since visiting my mother-in-law, I have found that Oakleigh has been exceptionally good, caring, helpful and welcoming. Management and staff go that extra step to make sure that the care of residents and visitors is excellently looked after. Nothing is too much trouble, and any issues are dealt with
promptly and acted on.

Oakleigh is lovely, caring staff are always there to help when Mom needs help. The extension is amazing, nice, large lounge to sit and eat in. Food is very good. Mom's room is nice, cosy and warm with her things around her.
Thank you to you all.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.961)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.961) out of 10 for Oakleigh is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 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 4.961 for Oakleigh is calculated as follows: ( (497 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 514 Ratings = 4.961

  • 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 is based on 43 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 43 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.
