Very, very friendly, helpful and professional staff. Helped to turn a very stressful experience (Mum going into care for the first time) into something more manageable with trust quickly built. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Oakland Care home is the most welcoming place you could visit. All the staff are friendly, and there is always plenty going on. The manager and her staff are excellent and gave great advice on what's happening and things to do. The food is outstanding, and the home is always clean and tidy.

My mum was in only for a week but she loved her stay. Staff fabulous, so caring. Room lovely. Food and drinks all the time. Entertainment all the time. I know she was taken care of and can't thank everyone for taking the time to take care of her. So will, if I need, call them again and would recommend
to anyone I know. So thanks for the care from the manager, staff, cooks, carers, cleaners and all the staff. God bless, see you soon.

A huge thank you to staff at Oakland Care Home. They laid on two garden parties over the Queens Jubilee weekend, absolutely fantastic. Both residents and visitors had a fabulous time. My mum never stopped smiling. Brilliant!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From day one I got a really good feeling about the home. The staff immediately made my father comfortable and welcomed him as if he was royalty. My father made friends here and loved the staff who also became his friends. They treat and care for the residents with such care and compassion it's so lovely
to see. When my father passed away the staff were amazing. The care my father and all the family received was so first-class. I would definitely recommend Oaklands Care Home for a loved one as they are amazing. Thank you so much, Oaklands. You all will be remembered with love and gratitude for the care and love you showed my father.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife went into Oakland Care Home, 1st September 2021 very ill, confused and disorientated she is now a totally different person. She is able to walk partially unaided most of the time, can hold a partial and understandable conversation. I put this down to the care and attention of the friendly professional
care from all the staff, and many times they go above and beyond. Plus they are all so easy to talk to and very friendly.

Review from Jacqueline F (Sister of Resident) published on 31 August 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Oakland staff were absolutely wonderful in the care of our sister in the last 8-months of her life. She loved the food and was very happy. The home is top class, excellently run, first class on cleanliness and COVID protection. I can’t fault the way that my sister was cared for and the kindness they
showed us. The members of staff that we saw giving her actual care were outstanding. We observed the treatment given to other residents, it was excellent, an excellent feeling of care calmness, and peace surrounded us when we visited. Oakland is a home I would be happy to go into if I could no longer manage in my own home. We thank them all.

Review from Carolyn R (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum recently moved to Oakland, from the initial phone call to the care line staff and staff at the care home, everything was explained in detail with great expertise, understanding and efficiency. Staff kept me updated every step of the way; they made me feel at ease and gave me the confidence I chose
the right place for Mum to live. With these unprecedented times, it was not possible to meet staff in person or view Mum’s room, but the staff went above and beyond to send me photos, videos and calls, which made it easier knowing this was the right choice. On the day of the move, the staff made Mum and I feel welcome with a smile and friendly face, and nothing was too much trouble (they had even set up mum’s room perfectly.) All staff showed kindness, compassion and respect. Once Mum is settled, I have great confidence she will be happy here. Thank you all!

Mum has been in the care of the team at Oakland for a number of years and I can honestly say the team are fantastic and really go above and beyond to make her comfortable. Nothing is too much trouble and communication from the team is great which certainly gives me peace of mind that she is being well
looked after, particularly important when unable to visit due to current restrictions.

Unfortunately, my mum was admitted to Oakland a couple of days before the original lockdown in March 2020. As a result, it has been a difficult time for everyone. It is very difficult to communicate with my mum, but the staff have been extremely helpful in allowing us to stay in touch. They have kept
us informed on any issues/changes on a regular basis,# and have done their utmost to make her feel welcome and safe. Big thanks to all the staff!

My mum has been in Oakland Care Home for some 4 years. The home has a nice warm feeling. She has been well cared for. The carers are very genuine. I have no worries about her care when I am not there. Whenever there is a problem with mum's health, the carers phone me immediately and keep me updated.

The staff are very caring and helpful, always on hand to answer any questions. The home always smells clean. But I would like to be in place that if he has to go to A&E that one of the staff go with him. He likes it here but I know he is hard work at times, but I thank everyone there for the care.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.895)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.895) out of 10 for Oakland Care Home 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.895 for Oakland Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (138 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 152 Ratings = 4.895
  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 Care Home is based on 13 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 13 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.
