The home is constantly upping their game when it comes to care, and I mean actual care. From days out for residents, to working with the community to bringing in exercise staff who engage with ALL individuals. It shows that they are always looking to improve the service they can give.
The staff are
lovely and work so hard.

I can only think of positive things to say about Oaklands , from the amazing staff to the facilities available to the residents on a daily basis.
My father-in-law is a very quiet man with dementia. The changes in his personality since being at Oaklands is lovely and heartwarming to see. He joins
in the activities and is first to want to go out on their many outings. He interacts with the staff and we can see he has come to know them as 'friends' now rather than carers.
The food on offer at every meal can only be described as tasty and tempting and he is certainly eating all that's on offer.
As a family we feel so much more at ease knowing he is happy and being well looked after.
We can't ask for anything more.

Our Dad & Grandad lived at Oaklands for over 2 years. Sadly he passed away a few days ago. I cannot speak highly enough about the care given to him over the years and months. Everyone has been fantastic, culminating in the delicate care, concern and the dignity afforded to his family in his last days
and hours. Thank you soooo much to every member of Oaklands staff!

My father has been at Oaklands Nursing Home for nearly 1 year and he's settled in really well. The home is always clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. The staff are excellent and there are numerous activities to keep everyone interested and stimulated. It's so reassuring to know that after my visits,
my father is safe, happy and with his friends. I really wouldn't want my father to be anywhere else.

The care home was excellent, very caring and friendly staff. Management of the care home were absolutely brilliant, can't thank them enough for the care my husband received. It was like he was in a 5-star hotel not a care home, would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of care for a relative or

My mum was sent to Oaklands Nursing Home from Burnley General it was not chosen by the family. I have worked in care homes earlier in my life and I can't say how pleased I was when I first went in to visit Mum. I knew it was going to be good for Mum and her needs the place was lovely and clean always
and the staff were fantastic nothing was too much trouble and they treated you like old friends. I was worried that at one point they might have moved mum nearer to home but thankfully she got to stay and I couldn't thank them enough for the care and understanding they gave my mum.

My family were told my gran had to go into a home, we were broken, we always promised we would never put her in a home. The day we looked around, we were instantly put at ease, the whole vibe of Oaklands is lovely. We decided on Oaklands after looking around a few others, it was by far the most welcoming
and friendliest of them all and I knew Gran would be happy here.
They have activities everyday, including singers, trips out etc. My gran, unfortunately was very poorly and bedridden, but they made sure she didn't miss out, activities went to her, and the smile on her face said it all.
All the staff were brilliant and like family, every one of them are an asset to the profession and worth their weight in gold! They made sure gran was happy and content 24/7. The management couldn't do enough for us as a family, nothing was ever too much, from the kind receptionist ringing us daily, to sitting with them and having a brew and a chat. Would highly recommend Oaklands to anyone.

December 2022 - February 2024 My Grandma was in Oaklands for 14 months, we had looked round a couple of other homes but Oaklands just stood out, the cleanliness, facilities and the relationships the staff had built with the residents, we knew that's where our special lady would spend her final months.
Oaklands allowed my Grandma to do that with dignity, pain free and familiar faces each day which helped us and my grandma to build relationships with staff that us as a family now class as friends, who we could trust to care for her. I visited my grandma most days, she was always clean, comfortable and happy. Oaklands go above and beyond for their residents and their families, Oaklands staff were particularly good with my Grandad. One thing that did stand out for me with Oaklands was the amount of activities that were on offer for the residents, they would have a full timetable each week and the food if residents didn't want something they would offer them alternatives to suit. Oaklands is a special place.

My mum has been in Oaklands for just over 6 months. The change in her from the previous care home is remarkable. All staff go above and beyond and we are always greeted by the manager when we arrive, she always goes out of her way to see us. We are kept well informed on all of Mum's care. I cannot rate
this home enough. A home-from-home.

Our mum was transferred from hospital into Oaklands Care Home in September 23, it was the hardest decision that we have ever had to make as we had been looking after our mum at home. The manager went above and beyond to make sure our mum came into the care home due to some issues with us not living
in Lancashire. All the staff looked after our mum so well and also welcomed us whatever time of day we wanted to visit, we could stay for an hour or 4 hours, it wasn't a problem. Any concerns that we had were discussed immediately and a solution given to us. Our mum had a very rare condition but the manager made sure that all staff were familiar with it by printing off paperwork for them to read. We as a family enjoyed 'singing for the brain' and other activities which they provide at Oaklands, there is always something going on. Our mum passed away in February 24 and without the help, knowledge and support from the staff we could not have got through this time.

My mum went into the care home in September 2023, this was not an easy decision but Oaklands staff really looked after Mum and us through a very difficult time in our lives. Mum passed away in February 2024 and Oaklands did everything they could to support us all right up to the very end, we wouldn’t
have got through it all without them they were just amazing and Mum really liked all of them.

I found the standard of care at Oaklands exceptional - there were certain staff members who developed deep and meaningful relationships with my mum that continued even when we'd moved her nearer to family.
During her time at Oaklands staff were patient, caring and kind to Mum and to us as a family.
The
activities and opportunities offered during her time with you gave Mum a quality of life and when I was visiting we enjoyed joining in music and craft activities together.

Our mother entered residential care in May 2023, but sadly passed away in February 2024. Throughout her time at Oaklands Nursing Home all staff treated our mother with the utmost respect, care and professionalism. Her needs were catered for without question and all staff, from the management team through
to the very nice lady who did the laundry, she could not have been in better hands.

My mum is now in her 3rd week at Oaklands. All the staff are fantastic and have made Mum (age 96) feel very welcome. They have tried so hard to let her keep as much independence as possible whilst ensuring her safety. Too many staff to mention personally, but the manager, her assistant and the kitchen
manager ensure their teams provide the best care. Thanks to all the staff.

It is a very difficult and emotional decision to place your mother into a home and it really did take quite some back and forth for a number of years. Ultimately we realised that Oaklands would be the best place for her to provide my mother with the quality of life that she deserves. Around the clock
care but with activities, family visits, laughter and great meals and treats. We are very thankful to the Oaklands staff for all that they do.

My father-in-law recently asked to move into a care home after spending a few months in a local hospital. Before this he had been living in sheltered accommodation and has poor eyesight and mobility, with a number of health issues that require nursing care.
My husband and I chose Oaklands because of
the warm feeling we experienced when visiting the home and the excellent reputation. Our experience so far has been really positive and the home is kept clean and tidy and feels very homely. There are regular activities for my father in law and he is now happy there.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.901)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.901) out of 10 for Oaklands Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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:

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

    The Average Rating of 4.901 for Oaklands Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (173 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.901

  • 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 Oaklands 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:

    • 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 15 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.

I qualified as a nurse in 2004 and have worked in various areas of the NHS and the Independent Sector, as a nurse, care coordinator and registered manager. My journey into management in the independent sector started in 2011 and I have really enjoyed working in a variety of care settings since.

Working within care over the last few years has not been without its challenges but I am extremely proud of our team at Oaklands for their resilience and dedication to supporting and caring for our ladies, gentlemen and each other as team members.
