  • Nunthorpe Oaks Residential Care Home, Middlesbrough
Nunthorpe Oaks is a beautiful home which has recently undergone a stunning refurbishment. With a warm family feel the moment you walk through the door, it feels like home from home.

Providing residential care, the team also offers respite care breaks, which are ideal for carers looking after loved ones, who would like to plan a short break themselves.   

There are spacious lounges and a garden room, as well as a new bistro-style café area. And there’s a hair salon and nail bar, for regular appointments with the mobile hairdresser, plus pampering sessions with facials, manicures and hand massages.

The gardens are beautiful and are the perfect spot to relax with loved ones, who are welcome at any time. Nunthorpe Oaks also has a private family and friends Facebook group, where families can see what their loved ones have been enjoying doing, even if they can’t be there in person.

The residents enjoy so many activities, with music from local choirs and musical entertainers to karaoke. The home even has its own choir. There are regular gentle exercise sessions, crafts, knit and knatter, baking and cocktail evenings, as well as trips to local parks, shopping and garden centres and coffee shops.

In the dining rooms, the residents enjoy delicious home-cooked meals prepared by the chef, who was proud to be crowned Best Performing Chef for the entire region at Sanctuary Care’s annual Chefs’ Conference (2023). From roast dinners with all the trimmings, to fish and chip Fridays and lighter bites like home-made soups. And there is home-baking every day for afternoon tea, with the chef’s cheese scones and cakes always going down a treat.

The local community are embraced into life at Nunthorpe Oaks, with regular church services and hymns in the home to visits from local school children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mam has been a resident since July 2018 and during that time has been well cared for by the team here. The team’s dedication to the resident’s care is highly commendable. Pleasant and caring in manner, generous in their time. Throughout my mam’s time here from the beginning to the present day, whilst
in lockdown due to the pandemic, she has received excellent care and support. I am always kept informed of every aspect of Mam’s well being. I am fully confident and secure in the knowledge that every aspect of my mam’s daily requirements is being attended to by an amazing team of care professionals. It is a pleasure to talk with any of the team when you ring up. Nothing is a bother.

The team are always there for my mum and treat her as part of the family. Great communication whenever there are any issues, especially during the COVID isolation where they provided an Ipad for Facetime sessions each day. A great bunch of people from the top down.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I highly recommend this care home, the staff are outstanding and the care and support they give to residents is amazing. They are always willing to go above and beyond, not only for residents but also for their family members. The entertainment and activities they offer are very varied and appeal to
all, often having singers come to perform too. During the lockdown, my mam celebrated her 80th birthday and the staff cooked a meal for her, gave her a cake and called us so we could be part of it from home. My mam has lots of anxieties and worries and the staff are excellent with her and very patient and understanding. I can’t thank them enough for all they do. Not all heroes wear capes!
Reply from Fae Doherty, Senior Marketing Officer at Nunthorpe Oaks Residential Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words about our home and team - lovely to hear that your mum still was able to celebrate her birthday and that you could be with her 'virtually'. The team will really appreciate your kind words. Best wishes, Fae.

My mother has been at Nunthorpe Oaks since November. Everything possible has been done to help her to settle in. The carers are excellent and get to know residents and their families. Mum is always treated with respect and time is taken to make sure she has all she needs. Any questions I have had have
been answered. I have seen a positive impact under the new manager.
Reply from Fae Doherty, Senior Marketing Officer at Nunthorpe Oaks Residential Care Home

Dear Ruth, thank you so much for your kind words. Nunthorpe Oaks is such a lovely home and I am glad you agree. Our team work tirelessly to ensure they provide the very best care, so I will be sure to pass this on. Best wishes, Fae.

I am very happy my mother is a resident here, where residents are cared for by staff who are very patient and caring and remain calm in what can be very challenging times. I am impressed by how well run and organised the home is by management, who are always welcoming to visitors such as myself.

We visit Nunthorpe Oaks weekly to spend an hour with the residents. We are a local day nursery and we bring a group of children every Tuesday to share fun activities together. We have taken part in the Halloween party and Christmas party. We play children's bingo and just over the last few weeks, we
have introduced dough disco to our friends. We have played music familiar to them and has lots of fun with play dough building on hand/eye coordination and fine motor skills. The children and residents have built a beautiful relationship and we love spending time at Nunthorpe Oaks.

Dear Katie, thank you so much for your review - it is much appreciated by the team. We agree intergenerational projects are fantastic for both the children and our residents, making new friends in unexpected places. We hope your visits continue for many time to come! Best wishes, Fae.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It was really difficult making the decision for Nana to live in residential care, but the staff at Nunthorpe Oaks have eased this transition with genuine care and compassion. Their experience and humanity have helped my Nana and our family adjust to this new way of life and made us part of the Nunthorpe
Oaks family. I cannot describe how much it means to know Nana is safe, not lonely and genuinely cared for and respected. Thank you.
Reply from Fae Doherty, Marketing Officer at Nunthorpe Oaks Residential Care Home

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We understand how difficult the transition into care can often be for both our residents and their families so we are so glad to hear that this has been eased by our team's care and compassion. Your feedback is truly invaluable to us, so I will be sure to pass this onto the team at Nunthorpe. Best Wishes, Fae

My Aunt was very well looked after at Nunthorpe Oaks. She had good relationships with all the staff who were involved in her care. The staff were caring and considerate and I always felt that they were genuinely fond of her. As she approached the end of her life, their kindness and compassion were evident.
They were also really kind and supportive to us in the difficult period after her death.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been in the care home for over 2 years.
The present management and staff are very hands-on and sympathetic to our precious relatives.
They all find time to speak to us when we are visiting and advise us of any changes, or items they think might be helpful to our relatives well being.
If
I have asked for anything specific to be done, it has always been done that day.
We are always greeted with a genuine smile and hello and the same on leaving.
The food always looks hot with more than one choice.
If residents, on the odd occasion, prefer to eat in their room, the food is taken to them.
I cannot thank the management and staff enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff take care to keep residents entertained and active with various activities including exercise classes and games.
Some bedrooms are a bit small and dark, but my grandfather has a wonderful corner room with lots of light.
The staff are very friendly.
All care homes are far too expensive,
but this is worth paying more for due to the attitude of the staff.
The home has recently been redecorated and is bright and welcoming.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A neighbour of mine has recently moved into this care home. Prior to moving she was living alone and could not be bothered cooking and did not see many people on a daily basis.
Since she moved into the home I visit her every week and have seen a dramatic change in her. She seems to have taken on a
new lease of life and loves the home saying it was the best move she made.
The food is excellent and she eats all her meals. The staff are so good and she praises them and says they cannot do enough for her.
With plenty of activities going on which she joins in and she says the time flies.
This is a very welcoming and caring home and if in the future I myself needed to go into a care home I hope I can get into this one.
Better put my name on the waiting list now!!!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad moved into Nunthorpe Oaks and settled in very quickly. He now calls it 'home', and has nothing but praise for how well he is looked after, without exception the staff are kind, considerate, patient and friendly. He loves his quite spacious room, where he is able to have some of his own furniture,
paintings and memorabilia, it really is his own special space and he loves it. I would recommend Nunthorpe Oaks to anyone looking for a home from home. It has certainly taken a huge weight off the shoulders of his family knowing that he is happy and well looked after.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.821)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.821) out of 10 for Nunthorpe Oaks Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.821 for Nunthorpe Oaks Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (217 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 251 Ratings = 4.821
  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 Nunthorpe Oaks Residential Care Home is based on 21 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 21 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.
