When visiting my sister, I always find the staff very welcoming and friendly. My sister is well looked after by staff members. But I do worry sometimes regarding the food she is being served (doesn't look appetising) and I do know she leaves most of it.
But in the main, I am quite happy with the care
home.

I find all the care staff at this establishment to be extremely attentive and caring and allow my grandmother to want for nothing.
In addition, the extra activities such as exercises, parties, entertainment and hair dressing services are great and well liked by my grandmother. Also, on the occasions
when medical attention was required, this was dealt with speedily and professionally.

When I was 60 years old I went to Oakbank for respite when it was a small home! The staff at the time were great! Some of the staff are still here although its extension has gained more residents. It is still great to be in, I am now 84 years of age. My room is known as the "penthouse" there is a lift
to it and it's my home now! The staff are still great to us all.

When I first came to live at Oakbank, I was very unsure of myself but the staff made me very welcome. They can't do enough for all the residents and will go out of their way to help you. I can't thank them enough.

My uncle came to Oakbank in November 2016 after spending several weeks in hospital, he was told he could not go back home as he needed round the clock care.
I had been my uncle's carer for over 20years and not being a car driver I needed a home that was in easy reach for me to visit each day.
I
visited a few homes before I made the decision to chose Oakbank.
Since my uncle has been at Oakbank all of the staff that are looking after him treat him with dignity and tender care.
As he is 91years old and has Dementia, I know he is kept safe and warm.
The staff are always very busy but even then they always find time for a quick word asking how I am.

Service user couldn't understand staff, wasn't cared for to the standard they thought they would be. The care they got was very,very degrading and extremely poor. Had no dignity what so ever and had no choice but to phone home from their mobile phone to get them to phone the nursing home for help. Would
never recommend this home to other members of family or friends and will not be using it again.

I have always found the staff at this facility to be exceptionally dedicated and caring. Always helpful and polite to visitors when we came and above all they always treat my father with dignity and respect. I live abroad but feel confident to leave my dad in their care between visits. The only problems
have been administration ones in getting them to send the invoices to me after the death of my mother.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.686)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.686) out of 10 for Oakbank Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.686 for Oakbank Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (294 Excellents x 5) + (95 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 404 Ratings = 4.686

  • b) 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 Oakbank Care Home is based on 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Kelly

Kelly Green

Job Title: Residential Care Manager

Joined: 2007

My name is Kelly Green, and I have dedicated over 22 years of my life to the care profession—a journey driven by a deep passion for supporting others. From the very beginning, I knew that working in care was more than just a job for me; it was a calling. Over the years, I’ve grown in experience, compassion, and leadership, and today I proudly serve as the Residential Manager at Unity Homes.


I joined Unity Homes 8 years ago as a Senior Care Assistant. Through hard work, continuous learning, and the support of an incredible team, I progressed to Deputy Manager and eventually into my current role.


Every day in this field brings new challenges and meaningful moments, and I truly believe in the power of teamwork to overcome obstacles and deliver exceptional care. For me, person-centred care is at the heart of everything we do, ensuring that each resident is treated with dignity, respect, and personalised support.


Leading with empathy and dedication, I strive to create a warm, professional environment where both staff and residents can thrive.

Geethu

Geethu Baby

Job Title: Nursing Care Manager

Joined: 2023

My name is Geethu, and I began my career in healthcare after completing a Bachelor of Nursing degree from Mahatma Gandhi University. Since 2014, I’ve had the opportunity to work in various nursing roles that have helped me grow both professionally and personally. I started as a Theatre Nurse, where I built a strong clinical foundation and developed a deep appreciation for teamwork and patient-centred care. My journey continued through positions as a Staff Nurse, Deputy Ward Manager, and eventually, Ward Manager at North Manchester General Hospital, where I led the Trauma Orthopaedic Ward with pride and purpose.


Over the years, I’ve become passionate about leading with compassion, supporting staff, and delivering the highest quality care. I enjoy mentoring junior nurses, solving problems, and driving improvements through initiatives like LEEL (Listening, Exploring, Enabling, Leading). My strengths include leadership, team coordination, clinical excellence, and clear communication. As I now step into the next chapter of my career in a Nurse Manager role at Oak Bank, I’m excited to bring my experience, dedication, and love for nursing into a role where I can continue making a meaningful difference.
