We cannot speak highly enough of Oakwood Grange, our mum was made welcome and comfortable straight away. Mum is happy and always singing now. The staff are very attentive to the resident, and this is always very evident when we visit. We know Mum is always clean and well looked after. We feel mum is
very safe and secure, which gives us peace of mind, which is so important.

Both of my parents have recently moved into Oakwood Grange, the staff have been very accommodating by keeping my parents together. All the staff are friendly and approachable even when sometimes they seem a bit stretched meaning short staffed.
The home feels very homely and clean. My mum especially
seems to be enjoying the activities provided. The staff are very informative about my parents and I feel they are being looked after.

Mum was a resident at Oakwood Grange for two years.
The care and support given to her was outstanding.
When she needed end of life care it was given unstintingly, with compassion and the utmost love.
The home was always welcoming, nothing was too much trouble, the staff without exception were
of the highest standard.
A lovely and loving home.

After visiting many care homes, we visited Oakwood and knew instinctively it was just right for our mum. Very welcoming, homely, lovely atmosphere and really good home-cooked food which mam enjoyed. Mam was extremely well cared for at Oakwood. She was surrounded by a brilliant team of very dedicated,
understanding and hardworking staff. We cannot thank all the staff enough for their love, care and support. We highly recommend Oakwood, it's a wonderful home.

Oakwood Grange has been a true blessing for our family. From the moment my mum moved in, the entire team has been nothing short of amazing. They are warm, friendly, and genuinely caring - it's clear they treat every resident like a member of their own family.


What has made the biggest difference

for me personally is the peace of mind they've given us. Looking after Mum had become increasingly stressful and worrying, but since she's been in their care, that burden has completely lifted. I know she's safe, comfortable, and well cared for every single day.


The staff are excellent communicators and always keep us updated, which means we feel connected and involved even when we can't be there in person. It's such a comfort to know Mum is in such capable and kind hands.


I truly can't thank them enough - Oakwood Grange in my view is outstanding

Choosing this care home has been the best decision my family has made.
From the start the staff have been warm, friendly and supportive. They have truly created a homely environment where everyone is treated with dignity, respect and kindness.
One of the things that really stands out for me is the
fantastic range of activities offered.mum has been able to stay active and engaged. It's been wonderful to see her happy and engaged.
Oakwood grange is more than just a care home it's a vibrant, caring community. My whole family are deeply grateful for everything they do. Thank you to all the wonderful staff

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The manager and her staff have been absolutely lovely from the moment I went to visit Oakwood Grange with a view to my dad needing a place in a care home urgently. In the 8 weeks that he has been there they have done an initial detailed care plan, adapting it to fit dad's needs as they got to know him
more. Every time we visit there is a member of staff that is keen to let us know how he is doing, and they have contacted us promptly over a couple of issues as dad settled in. The staff have also been kind and caring towards me and my husband, recognising that it is also a difficult time for us. Dad is now settling and less anxious, and we know he is safe and well cared for by the staff.

I cannot speak too highly of the care I have received. I have only been in residence for a matter of weeks but during that time my husband died and the care and consideration I have received has been without parallel. Both staff and management have made it the best place to be at this time.

Have been quite impressed by my time at Oakwood Grange. I did not know what to expect as many bad reviews are published about various care homes. I have settled here well. Everyone is so friendly. Managment, staff, carers and other residents food is varied and good, room is clean and common areas attractive
and welcoming. Can eat in the dining room or my own room - it is good to have a choice. There are lots of smiley faces about which is good too.

Mum has been living at Oakwood for over six months. Mum experienced appalling care at her two previous care homes, and so, understandably, I was initially apprehensive. This was soon replaced with joy and relief.
Mum's bed is always clean, her clothes are clean and respectfully put neatly back into
her wardrobe, and nothing has gone missing. Mum is so much more settled and always clean. She is kept safe within the home as the carers understand Mum's dementia and her particular behaviours and the risks around that. Mum's care plan shows that it has been written with knowledge, understanding and professionalism that I haven't seen in her previous two care homes, all of this gives me confidence and happiness and I am so grateful to everyone, the owners, management, carers and everyone who works at Oakwood for giving such a high and professional standard of care, it means more than I can really put into words.

Review from L O (Niece of Resident) published on 29 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We had visited several care homes in the area for my aunt and uncle. As soon as we entered Oakwood Grange, we felt at home. The atmosphere is calm, warm and bright but the care and carers are exceptional. They have so much time for both the residents and their families and friends. Nothing is too much
trouble.
It has been a very upsetting and stressful time as my uncle was taken into hospital days before he was supposed to live at Oakwood, so my aunt moved in by herself. She has been so well cared for by everyone and when my uncle came out of hospital just after New Year, they cared so well for him despite his failing health. He died 10 days after he had moved in and I'm so relieved that they were both together at such a critical time. Thank you to everyone. As a family we know that my aunt is so well-cared for and has social interaction when she most needs it.

We took the difficult decision to move my mother into a care home in June 2024. From the moment we visited the care home, we knew we had made the right decision. The staff at Oakwood Grange could not be more caring. My mother loved her time there. Sadly, she has now passed but I know that in the relatively
short time she was there, she felt safe and well looked after by the excellent staff. Thank you to all at Oakwood Grange for the love and care you showed to my mother.

My husband has been a resident for around 8 months. Staff are really friendly and communicate fairly well. I find sometimes he isn't washed and dressed to the usual standards but on a whole the care is satisfactory. The only thing I disagree with, is on the odd occasion he has had a fall, is the staff
sent him to hospital alone instead of with a member of staff.
Reply from Anila Munawwar, Manager at Oakwood Grange

Thank you for taking the time to review Oakwood Grange and we are pleased that you rate our cleanliness as excellent. We appreciate your kind feedback regarding our team, which I will pass on. We support our residents with personal care and dressing when needed, but respect our residents' independence to change their clothes if they wish. The care and safety of our residents at Oakwood Grange is our priority, and we aim to send a member of our team to accompany residents to the hospital, this is not always possible if it would reduce optimum staffing levels.

Mum has been here for four weeks now and during this time all the staff we have found to be professional, caring, empathetic, kind and fully focused on providing the best possible care for the residents. The building is immaculate, as are the rooms. The food provided is of an excellent quality and all
the residents appear safe and content in the environment. All the staff deserve high praise and recognition and their efforts should be applauded and recognised.

My mum had a seven-day respite break at Oakwood Grange. She was amazed by the care she was provided. Starting with the lovely clean room, the first-class meals and the friendly caring staff. They went over and above board to help her. She's planning her next visit shortly.

The hard work and caring nature of all the staff makes it a lovely home for the residents. The love, care, consideration and respect given on a daily basis is outstanding and very much appreciated by both residents and relatives. Oakwood Grange is more than a care home, my mum has been a resident since
October 2023 and has settled in lovely. I can proudly say the staff and residents have now become an extension of our family. Thank you Oakwood Grange.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.815)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.815) out of 10 for Oakwood Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.815 for Oakwood Grange is calculated as follows: ( (214 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 259 Ratings = 4.815
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Oakwood Grange is based on 22 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
