My personal visits have always been pleasant. I have been greeted by staff with a smile and now, always, called by my name, giving a very welcoming feeling.
I feel very comfortable leaving my mam in the care of both management and care staff at Oldfield House.
I would recommend anyone to apply for
their loved one to become a resident.

Thank you Oldfield House for your care and patience you have given our mother and her family. She has improved immensely with your love and support, thank you once again. The staff are always supportive and welcoming which is much needed in the beginning when everyone is nervous of the unknown.

The care home is lovely, the staff are excellent, and my mother is looking better than she has looked for a long time, if she hadn't gone in there when she did I don't think she would be with us now. Thanks to the staff they have made my mum look 10 years younger and a lot healthier, thank you.

Honestly cannot thank the staff enough. Been to visit my Nanna today and every member of the staff spoke and made us feel so welcome. Nothing was too much for them. They really do go out there way for everyone in the care home and for the families that come to visit. Thank you everyone for making us
all feel very welcome.

After a diagnosis of vascular dementia earlier on in the year, it was inevitable that Dad needed more care that we, as a family, could provide
Since he's been at Oldfield House Care Home, I've seen a completely different side to Dad. I am eternally grateful to the staff for everything they are doing
for my dad. I believe he couldn't have gone to a better place, thank you all again.

Review from Shiree K (Power of Attorney of Resident) published on 6 June 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My great aunt and uncle have been residents of this care home since October 2022. They both have completely different needs and priorities.
Over the past few months, the management has changed, and there has been an improvement in the communication and management of the home.
The new manager has
a particularly good knowledge of the mental capacity act, which previously had been limited and frustrating.
The staff are lovely, and as regular visitors to the home, we’ve never seen anything untoward toward residents, which is often a worry for people when choosing a care home. My aunty would tell us if she saw anything untoward.
There is a mix of residents, and it can be quite loud at times; however, this is due to the nature of the resident's illnesses. To counteract this, there are several sitting rooms separate from the main one where residents can get some peace and quiet with a TV in it. They need more staff, but this is an issue in all care homes.
The building is worn and needs updating too.

Amazing place. Mum has only been a short while, and you can see a massive difference in Mum. Caring staff and management always meet you with a smile. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Very approachable. You get honest, clear answers. Can't thank them all enough for the care they give Mum for the
short time Mum has been in - thanks.

From November to now august is the amount of time that I can say any words about oldfield house but what I would like to say is thanks to the staff for looking after my mum, she’s settled there so well I have peace of mind that they are caring for her in the right way. She’s happy and content enjoying
the lovely food and nothing is too much trouble for them, very approachable and always rings me if they are concerned about mum. Lovely place and she has a lovely bedroom.

Review from Gaynor T (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We had used this care home for Mum's respite on a few weekends prior to being admitted permanently, as she was near end of life and found the staff were exceptional to Mum's needs, always making her welcome as she sometimes didn’t want to stay. When we knew she needed 24-hour care for her last few weeks,
we did not want her in a hospital and they went even further out of their way, we were allowed access at any point of the day even if we wanted to come overnight so she was not alone. Not only did the staff look after her to make her comfortable they also made sure we were, helped us get answers from palliative care district nurses, and got the right medication to ease any pain. The manager and staff are a credit to this home. A big thank you to all of them.
Reply from Luke Jegasothy, Home Manager at Oldfield House

Thank you so much for your review, Gaynor. Helping the family of any resident is always a priority to me and the team, we are glad we could help. Your mum is dearly missed. Take care, and see you soon.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My experience of Oldfield House has been above and beyond expectations, it has been excellent. My mam came in here for respite care every weekend and whilst there became terminally ill. Oldfield House went above and beyond their duties and cared for her. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Each and every
staff member has worked with us to care for her. The home agreed to care for my mam during her end-of-life stages. The manager has also done so much to help sort out my mam's care, to keep her safe and well at Oldfield House when no one else would take responsibility and help. If I, or any member of my family, needed care Oldfield House would be my one and only choice! Nothing has ever been too much trouble.

The most amazing care home with fabulous, caring staff. Always warm and welcoming, and nothing is ever a problem. My nana was so lucky to have spent her remaining time with them. In the fifteen months, she was there, she was given 100 per cent care, attention, and more importantly, love. We wish she
had been there from the start.
Reply from Luke Jegasothy, Home Manager at Oldfield House

Thank you so much for your glowing review. We are so honoured to have cared for your nana, and to give her the care she deserved. She will be missed dearly by all of us at Oldfield House.

So thrilled to see Mum looking so relaxed and content, she feels safe at Oldfield House. Her room is cosy decked out with her personal belongings. The care team are so patient and lovely with her. She loves the home cooked food, especially the puddings. Such a relief for me to see her so settled after
years of anxiety as she battled with isolation trying to cope on her own.
Thank you to all who work so hard to keep Oldfield House running smoothly.

Thank you for taking the time to write us such a kind and thoughtful review. Nothing means more to us than the care, wellbeing and comfort of your loved ones, so to hear such positivity about these aspects is amazing. Your comments also help us shape and tailor the future care that we will deliver to the residents, and therefore feedback is always welcomed. Have a great day.

My brother is very well looked after, the staff go the extra mile with his care, and the manager is a really kind and caring person. I don't worry about my brother as he is in a very caring environment, safe and secure. All food is homecooked and fresh with choices, and also, I'm always contacted regarding
any issues by the management.

My grandmother has been in Oldfield House care home for nearly two years, she loves being there. Originally she went in for respite and didn’t want to leave. She always says the food is lovely. The girls and managers are great; always very helpfully and informative. Gran loves playing games and having
sing songs and BBQ in the garden in summer. I would strongly recommend this care home, 10 out of 10!

Why I chose to, firstly place my mum on daycare/respite eventually placing my mum in permanent? It’s a lovely friendly, family orientated atmosphere. Staff are very welcoming and accommodating to both family and service users, my mum is always clean tidy and appears very happy. She interacts with staff
and tells me how lovely and kind they all are, this means a lot to me as my mum was never one for mixing with other people, she’s only ever had one friend that lasted over 60 years and to see her interactions with others is lovely. The management are absolutely brilliant they are also very hands-on which is another plus in my eyes I feel that Oldfield are an extension of our family and is a great weight off my shoulders knowing she is in such safe hands.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.426)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.426) out of 10 for Oldfield House 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 6 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 4.944 for Oldfield House is calculated as follows: ( (68 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.944
  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 4.482 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Oldfield House is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.8 = 0.882
  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.
