The staff have been excellent throughout the nearly year that my father has been in Oake Meadows. They have cared for him brilliantly and tried to provide for his difficult needs. My mother and myself have been kept informed throughout, and the positive and helpful inputs have helped to make the beat
of a dreadful time. I cannot thank them enough for their care in the true sense of the word tremendous.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was placed into an NHS funded bed on Willow for physio and rehab following a hip replacement. She has dementia. Initially, I fought against this, preferring a community hospital bed where I could continue to visit her. However, although I could not visit Mum due to COVID restrictions, she
appeared to settle well. The one thing that makes this Home exceptional is the staff. I am not allowed to mention them by name, but I hope they know who they are. They went out of their way to ensure I could FaceTime Mum every evening, to the extent that they gave me their personal mobile numbers to facilitate this. They went far over and above their role by ensuring I always knew who was working on any one particular evening and responded to my text messages, even when they weren't working that day. I cannot thank them or praise them enough. Care work is a difficult and often thankless task. These two colleagues were just amazing in their kindness and dedication.

I came in after a fall and a broken hip, which was repaired by surgery at hospital. I have been recovering here, and received good physiotherapy and help with walking. My experience has been generally positive, and the staff have been very kind.

The staff who looked after my dad were very kind and friendly, I visited my dad 3 times a week while he was there and different days so the staff would not of known when I was going to be there and you received the same friendly welcome on every occasion, Dad was treated with dignity and respect.
The
home always looked clean and well maintained. Dad’s needs were always delt with.
When they moved Dad across to the nursing side the extra care that he needed by the staff was brilliant.

Oake Meadows is the second care home he has lived in since leaving hospital in March 2019. There is no comparison between the two as Oake Meadows excels in all aspects against the previous one. The management staff took great care to ensure a smooth transition and everything has been very upbeat and
positive since then. The staff here are inspirational, warm and caring and will always go the "extra mile" to ensure the very best for all residents. My father is very fortunate to be here! Thank you! Awesome!

Review from Ray M (Son of Resident) published on 24 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother passed away and my dad has been a resident of Oake Meadows since May 2019. He suffers from dementia. As the family lives quite some way away, we cannot visit as regularly as we would like. However, for my dad, Oake Meadows is his home. All the staff are absolutely dedicated and treat the
residents as part of a large family. They are all kind, caring and very special people. The home is spotless, warm and inviting with a large lounge, a sunny sheltered courtyard and a garden. The meals are excellent and the choices at each meal are nutritional, varied and home-cooked. As a close-knit family, we are very pleased and grateful that my dad has settled so well and that we feel just as comfortable with him being at Oake Meadows.
The only slightly negative point to be made is that it is sometimes quite difficult to contact the staff by phone. However, the staff always keep us informed if my dad is ill or has suffered any minor mishaps.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband took some time to settle in but the nurses, who deal with him on a day to day basis, have made his life really happy and this, in turn, makes me happy. Whenever I call in and this is frequently, he is always smiling. His eating habits have improved and nothing is too much trouble for your
nurses.
I now feel that he is safe and secure and this has given me my life back.
The food is lovely and he has managed to even put on weight. The place is lovely and clean and nothing is too much trouble.
The staff who do the entertaining with the residents are very talented and have lots of patience with them.
I have looked at quite a few nursing homes and I can honestly say that I feel that, with the really friendly staff and everything else that goes with it, you would have to go a long way to match it.

Review from Bev (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum is a long-term resident and I would like to say that what makes Oake Meadows stand out for me is the fantastic team of dedicated and professional staff and the love and care that my mum receives. It is also very reassuring to see so many of the same staff members when I visit, many of whom have
been looking after my mum since she first arrived. Since the new management, I must also say that things have gone from strength to strength, not only with the leadership but the whole place has also been spruced up and is very welcoming and homely. I would recommend Oake Meadows to anyone facing the difficult decision of finding a care home for a loved one.

During the time of my Father's stay at Sherford we have witnessed significant change. If you spend time researching this home there is evidence of challenges that have affected the business with the lack of communication that had caused issues with daily care. I can wholeheartedly say things are changing
towards a more positive direction.


My father began his time in the residential space and came across to his current part of the home when he needed more specialist care. During this time we have been blessed to meet kind hearted people who provide the best possible care for him when guided by leaders in professional standards. I am pleased to report that there are key individuals in all regions of Sherford who excel in seeing the person behind the illness. The home has been given fresh ideas and a makeover which respects the happiness and space of a person who receives the care of Sherford and all it has to offer. I sincerely hope to see more of the same from the team.

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.
