My mother-in-law was a resident until she passed away last week, and we as a family could not thank the staff enough for the care and attention she was given from her first moving in, to her final days there. If anyone is looking for a care home look no further. And finally we just
want to wish all
the staff a big, big thank you for the care and support we received in Mum's final days we couldn't ask for any more.

I cannot possibly rate this nursing home highly enough. Having heard 1st hand from people's experiences and also after reading reviews we decided to place our mum here for end-of-life care and were definitely not disappointed. Oaklands Nursing Home is very well run and we found the staff to be extremely
approachable, respectful, caring and positive in every other aspect that you could possibly wish for and we can say without a doubt that Mum couldn't possibly have been better cared for. Firstly we found out through mum's own personal experience how lovely the staff were, and then from our own as sadly the end of her life drew near, when, in all honesty, we just couldn't have had more support or compassion from either the day or night staff. Placing a loved one in someone else's care and trusting them to look after them is definitely one of the hardest most stressful things you have to do, but we can only say how glad we are that we chose Oaklands Nursing Home and also how highly we recommend this nursing home.

The staff at Oaklands are very welcoming and caring. They are approachable and friendly. The nursing care they gave my mum-in-law was first class and would I definitely recommend them to care for your loved one.

Dad is a relatively new resident but he has been treated with great care and respect. The staff are very attentive and seem keen to make all the residents and their visitors feel at home.

This is a wonderfully welcoming care home. My dear friend has been here for a number of years and he is truly looked after. Not only is he able to choose exactly when he would like his breakfast, but he is also able to select what he would like at mealtimes from a broad range. On his birthday when I
last visited their kitchen chefs made him whatever cake he wanted and it was just marvellous. Must have taken them ages but nothing is too much trouble. Everyone sang happy birthday to him, his room had just been newly refurbished and the church came to visit for a service after dining and a musical number or two. One day we may all reach the stage that we too may need to go into care. I just hope that I am so lucky to be looked after as well as my friends staying at Oaklands.

The home is clean and tidy, the food very good. Care staff are very attentive and willing to respond to requests to improve the level of care. Visitors are always made to feel welcome and encourage to play a part in the activities of the home. A number of entertainment and wellbeing activities are provided
including a weekly church service. There is a family and friends group.
The management are very approachable.

I have had connections with Oaklands Nursing Home for approximately 15 years. My involvement has been two-fold: family and friends became residents and through church visits. I, along with other church members, take a service every 6 weeks on Wednesday afternoons. The staff are amazing, caring, compassionate,
understanding and supportive. They provide an excellent level of care for all the residents and their families no matter the situation.
It is a wonderful, happy place and I have every confidence in all the staff. It is well run, efficient and organised. My own sister spent 3 months rehabilitation there after coming out of hospital and I cannot thank the staff enough. They went out of their way to make sure she has the best of everything- as they do for all residents. It has been a privilege to take church services and although now retired, our new pastor and other church members continue to visit. I still keep in touch with everyone involved.

After an agonising discussion with my grandad, Oaklands Nursing Home was the only home in the area which he felt was most suitable, and it was the most highly recommended Nursing Home in the area. Even though he was only in Oaklands a short while before sadly passing away, the outstanding care he received
was second to none, all the staff and the manager were fantastic, even the maintenance department were so helpful in putting grandads oversized flat-screen TV up on the wall for him which helped make the room feel more homely to him, we were encouraged to personalise the room for him so we filled it with lots of family photos. The communication was outstanding with regards to my grandads care plan, my family and I cannot praise Oaklands enough.

My Nan asked to go into a home after a few months in hospital. She previously lived in sheltered accommodation and with carers and has a number of health problems and so required nursing. My brothers and I chose Oaklands Care Home because the manager seemed caring and really knowledgeable on what help
my Nan was likely to need. The staff seem engaged with the residents and we’ve noticed that there are some improvements being carried out at the home and hope this will benefit our nan and her enjoyment of life in her later years.

I have always felt that the very best quality of care is given in this excellent establishment. It is never nice having to find a care home for someone who used to be so independent although, with the super friendly nurses and choice on offer, I feel that this is a wonderful place for my mother-in-law
to be and I feel reassured in knowing how well she is being looked after.

Two of my family have now had the privilege of staying at this fantastic care home. The staff are really friendly and go the extra mile to make sure all needs are met. They genuinely seem to love their jobs and so nice to see them laughing and chatting with the residents. I've even joined Nan for lunch
before and their food is delicious - better than I cook at home!

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.

Liz McCabe

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2022

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. I started working at Oaklands in 2022 and became a manager in 2023.


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. They ensure that care and compassion are balanced with fun and laughter doing their best to ensure that all who work or live in Oaklands enjoy their day.

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2008

I have worked at Oaklands Nursing Home since 2008 and have worked in all the departments within the home. I found that I got great satisfaction working as a care assistant because I could really get to know our ladies and gentlemen and support them with all their needs. I love seeing our ladies and gentlemen enjoying their life within our home. It’s great to know that I have made a difference and seeing the ladies' and gentlemen’s smiles is heartwarming. Within the last couple of years, I have enjoyed my career development at Oaklands, progressing from a Care Assistant to a Senior Care Assistant and I am now currently the Deputy Manager. I am looking forward to my further development and supporting the service to ensure that we continue to give the excellent service that Oaklands is renowned for.
