Review from Karen E (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely fabulous care home - first class care for our 90 year old father - staff all went above and beyond in caring for him and making his last 5 months of life as comfortable and as happy as they could.
Always treated him with the utmost kindness and respect at all times and gave us as his family
total peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for.
Would not hesitate to recommend this lovely home and cannot express how grateful we are to all of the staff - thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Review from Stephen L (Son of Resident) published on 9 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't thank Oldfield Bank enough for the change in my mother's condition. After 4 months in hospital and 2 months in NHS discharge to assess accommodation she'd lost the confidence to even try to get out of bed. Needing to find a local care home, I was attracted to Oldfield Bank from the website so
I called to arrange a visit. As fortune would have it, the day I visited was VE Day and all the staff were dressed in 1940's costume, the lounges had been decorated to give a real 'atmosphere' to the occasion. Oldfield Bank felt homely and I knew Mum would like it there. On the day Mum arrived, they took her into the lounge and gave her lunch with the other residents, she previously had to be fed by carers. I was astonished when the ambulance driver told me she'd taken a few steps, with help from the carers, to get off the stretcher. He said 'the staff here seem really caring'. Mum is now able to sit in a chair and interact with other residents for the first time in months,
Thank you!

My mum has been at Oldfield since February and is finding it difficult to settle into life here. The staff are extremely caring and happy who are happy in their work. The manager and all the staff are helpful in helping mum to get used to being at Oldfield. She enjoys the food and is gaining weight.
I would not hesitate to recommend this home.

Review from K C (Relative of Resident) published on 31 May 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My relative was very depressed during lockdown and his mild dementia became much more severe. He was unhappy in the first home we tried and two homes refused to have him because he wandered. I am full of praise for the staff at Oldfield Bank they are not phased by anything. They are kind and the atmosphere
is very relaxed and happy. They communicate with us well and they know just how to keep him happy and occupied which has not been easy. He enjoys the days out which are organised and is happier than he has been for the past few years.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have found all the staff and management at Oldfield Bank to be friendly, caring and helpful and appreciate them for keeping me informed of any matter affecting my father's care as they arise. Being an older property, it is full of character and makes for a relaxing environment from what I have seen
and my father tells me he likes his room. Compared to the previous care home, Oldfield Bank has proved to be excellent, which I fully appreciate and would recommend as a good home for an elderly relative needing care.
Reply from Lisa Pearson, Manager at Oldfield Bank

Thank you for your kind review. It is a pleasure to look after dad and great to see him coming out of his shell since admission. I will pass on your kind words to our wonderful staff.

Oldfield Bank care home serves all my husband's needs. Carers are professional and are dedicated to the wellbeing of all the residents. All carers are helpful and friendly and welcome me whenever I visit. My husband is happy being here and always in good spirits. I have missed my husband so much because
of lockdown but I phoned regularly and the carers were always happy to discuss my husband's care and wellbeing. I always know he is in good hands.
Reply from Andy Foote, Manager at Oldfield Bank

Thank you for your kind review. It is our pleasure to care for your lovely husband, his eyes light up when he sees you and it is wonderful to witness the love you share. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon.

Review from Joan H (Friend of Resident) published on 4 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Over the years, I have visited a good number of care and nursing homes to see friends from church or club that I've been a member of. When my friend (who with her late husband I've known for fifty years) had to be admitted to a care home, after being in and out of hospital over 3 1/2 years, I was given
a list of homes in the area that had a vacancy, to inspect which I did. When I visited Oldfield Bank, to me it had a good homely feel, with friendly care, the carers spending time the residents as required. There is a good varied menu, singers, music and other visitors to entertain and the summer residents can sit in the garden.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The home was recommended by a friend whose granny had been a resident. Not a "shining new" purpose built corporate style home, but that is a big plus for me. Much more personal and you feel people really do live there as their home not just numbers in a big business.
Great committed delightful staff
who seem genuinely to love their jobs of looking after the elderly. Really compassionate and caring at the end.
Book me a place in 30 years time!

Mum has been a resident since October 2015. The staff are extremely caring, nothing is too much trouble. Family and friends who visit comment on the warm and friendly atmosphere and on the welcome they receive. Mum is very well cared for and happy and contented. I would not hesitate to recommend this
home.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We believe our auntie was well cared for and treated with dignity. Prior to her becoming increasingly confused and clearly suffering from dementia, she always spoke well of the home and the carers and was comfortable. She also always mentioned that the food and company were enjoyable.


In her final

years and months, the quality of care remained high and we are grateful to all concerned.

My husband spent nearly 3 years at Oldfield Bank. He was well looked after and despite being difficult at times, the staff showed immense patience with him. In his final week the love, care and dignity given to him was over and above the call of duty. I remain extremely grateful that he had a 'good'
death.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
An excellent care home. My problem is my mother does not have dementia and therefore struggles living in the environment. It would be great to have a separate social area but I feel not possible, too few staff in my opinion and when stretched has an emotional effect on my mother. All the carers give
a superb service. Food quality and variety could be improved but again difficult with the types of residents in care. My conclusion is 5-star care but always ways to improve.

My aunt arrived at Oldfield Bank three years ago in a frail condition, not being able to look after herself at home. Within months she had put weight on and became stronger in herself due to the care and attention she received every day.


She has told me she is very happy being there and the staff

are very friendly and helpful. It was a good decision for her to move there.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.672)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.672) out of 10 for Oldfield Bank 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 3 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 4.886 for Oldfield Bank is calculated as follows: ( (31 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 4.886
  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 3.786 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Oldfield Bank is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.6 = 0.536
  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.
