Our daughter is currently in Bessingby Hall for respite care after having a large stroke. We were slightly apprehensive of her being placed in a home, but our worries have been short lived as the care and the staff have been excellent, very compassionate and caring. We would have no problem in recommending
Bessingby to anyone! We cannot thank all the staff enough for their fantastic care!

It sure is a relief and comfort to see Mum so happy and well cared for. We know she is being properly looked after by a great team who really care about all their residents. The facilities at Bessingby Hall are very good allowing residents to have fun with a full social program (if they want to).

Very good first impression, travelled for three hours to see my uncle for the first time here. Lovely building, friendly staff and very pleasant surroundings.
My uncle seemed to be very well cared for - it is reassuring as I live so far away.

What a wonderful place. Lots of staff are all very knowledgeable about dementia. Very clean and all my father's needs have been met. The care in this home is superb. My father is kept very clean and all his clothes are freshly clean. His bedding is always fresh and clean. He eats all his meals and is
offered food that he is known to prefer. When I phone the care home the call is answered straight away and they always have time to chat.

A wonderful home, full of love and care. Amazing staff, gentle, caring, full of laughs and humour. Beautiful gardens - downstairs reception rooms all have gorgeous views which lift up your heart. A perfect place for people who need help, safety combined with the freedom to spend the day as you wish.
One last thought, a couple of dogs might be very beneficial - a great comfort to residents.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.160)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.160) out of 10 for Oaktree Hall & Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 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 4.327 for Oaktree Hall & Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (86 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.327
  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 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Oaktree Hall & Lodge is based on 13 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 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
    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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.6 = 0.833
  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.
