Mum moved here a year ago, we were reluctant as the home she was in she was settled and well looked after. However I couldn't ask for better care or a better place for my mum to be! The team and management are some of the most wonderful people I have ever met. The facilities are wonderful the care and
support they give not just my mum but myself as well I couldn't ask for more.

The staff at the care home are fantastic! They are kind, caring and have an excellent understanding of mums needs. From the manager who could not be more friendly and helpful to the cleaning and care staff they all go that extra mile to support the whole family. The catering team are very happy to accommodate
with any food mum would like if she does not like a particular meal.
Mum is safe well cared for and I honestly believe loved. I could not ask for more.

This review relates to the Willow Ward. The staff and management have been very good in care, and we have been kept informed of any developments. Food good. Carers a bit thin on the ground at times. Obviously not there 24/7, but on the whole we have had a good experience.
Reply from Kayleigh Izzard, Registered Manager at Oake Meadows Nursing HomeWe're really pleased to hear that you have felt well informed and supported by both our staff and management team, and that you've been happy with the care provided and the quality of the food. Keeping families updated and ensuring residents receive compassionate, high-quality care is extremely important to us.
We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding staffing levels. We understand how important visibility and availability of carers is, and we continually review our staffing to ensure we are meeting the needs of everyone on the ward safely and effectively. Your comments help us to reflect and improve.
Thank you again for your balanced and thoughtful review. We're grateful for your feedback and for placing your trust in us.

Mum has been at Oak Meadows for just over two years. She has just made the transition from residential care to nursing care.
The staff took care of everything whilst she was hospitalised and her new room is perfect. Clean, comfortable, her pictures and furniture all in place, making the room as she
likes.
As she enters palliative care the staff are nothing short of magnificent. As always, we can visit anytime, day or night, and if we are not here staff sit with mum to ensure she is not alone.
Mum is kept comfortable and treated with the utmost respect by a caring and loving staff who engage with the family to ensure all needs are met or exceeded - especially when it came to facilitating mum returning to the home from hospital.
The home is undoubtedly the best place for her. I cannot thank the staff enough for all their care and love, and that is everyone from the bottom to the top.
Thank you all at Oak Meadows.

I wouldn't wish a homeless person coming in here. This isn't a care home but a dumping ground for the elderly people who have dementia. My poor mum was shut in a shed-like room. We were told she couldn't go into the lounge or dining room or take part in activities, that's if they had any. Her room was
clean but that's it. Mum's Christmas gift went missing including most of Mum's clothes. It's certainly not a loving homely place at all. Prison is better than this place so please be aware of you choosing this place to care for your loved one.
Reply from Caroline Walker, Home support at Oake Meadows Nursing HomeWe are sorry that you feel your experience of our home was not positive.

The whole experience my nan and us as a family received here was awful. My poor nan was left all day every day in her room, the majority of staff were far from professional and the care in general was terrible. The notes weren't always the truth as they used to write that she had declined food even
though I sat with her and assisted her with many of her meals which she ate all of, and the staff could never give us proper updates and were very cold hearted and didn't seem to actually want to be there. We were told she wouldn't be able to take part in activities or sit in the lounge diner with other residents which was a red flag for me from the start. Also they lost half a wardrobe of my nan's clothes which were labelled, as well as loosing some sentimental items of hers which yet again they didn't care. I was a HCA in a nursing home and my god, I've never seen such a cold hearted run down place in my years. Some days I would visit my nan and felt I was having to do their job for them.

My mother was on the willow ward at Oake Meadows, Trull in Taunton. The staff were very kind compassionate and caring to my mum and our family. They allowed dogs in to visit which all residents loved. We are so very grateful for everything. Mum was 94 and actually died of frailty, we could not have
asked for better interactions from all staff, nurses, helpers, and cleaners, everyone was wonderful and respectful. They treated the whole family with dignity, genuine care, and support.

My mum came into Oake Meadows at a very stressful time for the family, coping with dementia with both mum and dad and not knowing how to manage the future. The staff without exception have been incredibly supportive and understanding, prioritising mum's needs but also huge empathy for dad too, making
him feel so welcome when visiting and helping him to understand what is going on. The communication from the team is excellent, we visit a lot and they keep us updated and have always rung immediately to update us if there is an issue. The connection with Musgrove Hospital and doctors is very effective. The rooms are very well laid out and the outdoor courtyard is a lovely relaxing space. We have visited Oake Meadows at many different times of the day and mum, when not dozing, has always either been chatting with a carer, enjoying the great food or the team have been carefully engaged in her well-being. I cannot praise enough the staff and the high standard of care, thank you all.

As we approach my nan being in the care home for almost a year I wanted to share how wonderful the care home has been for her.
The staff are always so kind and welcoming. My nan adjusted to the setting really well & she is clearly well-liked and cared about. There is an array of activities that are
planned well in advance including reptiles, lamas, bingo, Elvis singers & family favourites such as bingo. The care home has a lovely homely feel & there is always improvements being made. They have their own resident cat called Petal and a dog we often see going around with the staff. We are welcome any time of the day and all family members plus pets are welcome too. I am truly grateful for the incredible nursing staff who look after my nan so well. I wouldn’t want her to be anywhere else. The home is always very clean and tidy. Meals are varied & there is always more available. I’m so pleased we picked this as my nan’s home.

I cannot thank the staff at Oake Meadows enough for the care that my mum (96) has received since going into Willow Ward for respite in January 2023 following a fall and breaking her leg, then transferring to Rose Ward in September 2023 as a permanent resident. I really couldn’t have chosen a better
home for her. The staff are fantastic, caring, helpful, polite and sympathetic to all her needs. Each person is treated as an individual. Their care for the relative of the resident is second to none, always on hand for advice, a sympathetic ear and a never-ending supply of tea. Arranged activities including singers, alpacas, snakes, birds of prey are all looked forward to by my mum along with the bingo, word games, skittles and colouring. I can now relax, knowing my mum is safe and well cared for. Thank you Oake Meadows.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.998)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.998) out of 10 for Oake Meadows Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 15 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 4.409 for Oake Meadows Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (150 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (20 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 198 Ratings = 4.409
  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 4.589 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Oake Meadows Nursing Home is based on 15 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.875
    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 105 registered maximum number of service users is 21. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 21 = 0.714
  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.
