Review from Stephen E (Respite Resident) published on 18 April 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I was there in early 2023.
I found the place very welcoming and almost homely. The staff and nurses were very good and helpful. The carers could be a bit on the hit-and-miss side, waking you up at 7 am to check on your nappy/pad which you all had to wear in case of 'Accidents'!

Overall I found my respite care stay to be very pleasant and will give the place 5 stars.

I simply can not speak highly enough of Oakfield.
It is clearly an extremely well-led establishment, and that is evident as soon as you walk through the door or telephone the office.

I simply can not speak highly enough of Oakfield.
It is clearly an extremely well-led establishment, and that is evident as soon as you walk through the door or telephone the office.
All the staff look and sound happy to be there, and that then rubs off on the residents, who all look happy and well cared for. All the staff know their residents well and put simply, they care! The home is spotlessly clean and smells fresh, and not how you could envisage a care home to smell.
My mum has settled in tremendously well and is able to take part in a wide, varied range of activities. She is now able to enjoy her latter years again, and we are able to relax, knowing she is safe and happy. In short, Mum has her dignity back!

Communication with the family has been great, and we are kept up to date, particularly during Covid, all decisions taken regarding visiting and restrictions have been the correct ones. The safety of the residents is the number one priority.

Very disappointed with the policies and dealings with Covid. The management seems to only want to protect themselves from litigation or criticism of their policy and implementation of measurements during the outbreak.
The continued "lockdown" of patient, and, extremely draconian measurements are questionable at best. The guidelines by the government seem to be left behind, and the management seems to have made up rules which are neither balanced or in the best interests of the residents. There has been no reasonable communication to the families about proportion or the effects of these extreme measures and the length of them. Communication and support are necessary if residents interests are to be secured and supported. The home has, in my opinion, been very authoritarian and has not liaised or taken the relatives concerns into consideration.

Oakfield has at all times followed government guidance and advice, while taking into account the particular circumstances within the home, to ensure the safety of all patients and staff.The issue of patient visiting has been of concern to all care homes, and Oakfield is not in isolation. The problem remains the high risk of infection passing from a visitor to the patient, who then infects other patients and staff resulting in death from Covid. Covid is highly infectious and has not gone away.
We will continue to act within Government guidance, but also with due regard to our nursing experience and responsibilities, to safeguard all patients.
Regular updates have been sent to all next of kin with regards to visiting, and we are more than happy to discuss any concerns regarding these.
