So good to see Dad doing so well in the care of Oakwood Grange Care Home. I saw huge improvements within days of leaving the hospital. Staff are attentive and caring and questions are answered positively. The home is clean and tidy and you can see the effort everyone puts in. I'd have no reservations
in recommending Oakwood Grange to future residents.

My dad came here recently from the hospital after his previous care home refused to take him back. Since the day he came here, the staff have been amazing, not only with Dad but with his (4) anxious daughters. Dad has challenges caused by his dementia, and the staff are not only understanding and caring
but also looking for ways to improve Dad's mood and behaviour. They are in frequent contact with our family with updates. We could not feel happier and more supported by the manager and every other single member of staff we have met.

I struck gold when I found this care home. I had personal and health problems of my own, aside from worrying about my dad and didn't visit as much as I would have liked, but I never once felt judged, and I felt assured that Dad was being looked after and treated so kindly by the lovely caring staff.
On Dad's final day, I was scared and didn't know what to expect, but as I walked into his room, there was a calm ambience, and a member of staff sat holding his hand. I knew right then that everything was going to be alright. There were three members of staff that I met for the first time that last night, and they were all there for me; I don't know how I would have gotten through it without them. Especially one particular lady who looked after me. It's just such a homely, lovely environment. The staff are so professional and also have a sense of humour and always gave off the feeling that they loved working there and always had a smile for you. Nothing was too much trouble. Brilliant place.

My wife is a dementia resident. I am very pleased with the care she is receiving, and with the friendly welcome I receive from the staff each time I visit. The staff are wonderful - very caring, kind, patient and helpful. They are an excellent team, well-led. First class, purpose-built accommodation
and facilities. I could not hope to find a better place to care for my wife than Oakwood Grange. My heartfelt thank you to all.

My mum was only with the care home for two months before her death. The staff were very caring and compassionate. The food was lovely (although my mum was not good at eating), but my dad enjoyed many meals while visiting her, which he kept commenting were excellent! I would recommend this home wholeheartedly
and thank them for the care they gave Mum in her final months,

Mum arrived at Oakwood, coming directly from the hospital. Mum was only in the home for a week as she was very ill. The staff were absolutely wonderful, kind, compassionate, caring and experienced. Between them all, they could not have done more for Mum and our family. The staff have created a very
comfortable, friendly, warm environment for the residents; it's an absolute credit t them all. Mum sadly passed away. We will always be grateful that she was in such a lovely home.

My dad moved to Oakwood Grange when we lost our mother. The manager accepted him within three days. The staff go above and beyond to cater for his needs, and the service from all the staff has been superb since. His room is always clean, tidy and well-maintained. The food is always first class, with
plenty of choices. Thank you for the great service at Oakwood Grange.

The care home is very welcoming, and the staff are helpful and welcoming to all visiting family members and friends of the residents. The residents are treated with the utmost care and kindness, and their needs are met with their dignity and comfort uppermost. Nothing is too much trouble for the carers.
The home is very clean, warm and comfortable. The meals varied and of good quality. I am very happy that my husband is at Oakwood Grange as I now have peace of mind when I leave him after visiting him, knowing he is being well looked after.

Having experienced other care homes, Oakwood Grange Care Home is head and shoulders above the rest. Spotlessly clean and the staff go above and beyond to make my aunty comfortable, happy and well-fed. Good is lovely with a well-balanced diet and plenty of variety. It's the staff and management that
make this place fantastic. Thanks to all.

Review from Diane M (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 February 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
For any of us, moving an elderly parent into residential care is super stressful. This, for me, is compounded by the fact I have no siblings and do not live in Yorkshire.
I needed a home for Mum where staff are on permanent contracts, not agency or zero hours; where they all have access to personal
development; where the care hours are above the minimum required by CQC; where care planning is thorough and clearly recorded. Most of all, I wanted a home where there was clear leadership, a residential manager who not only motivated the staff but inspired them and was 100% focused on individual person-centred care.
I have found that at Oakwood. The manager is passionate that Oakwood Grange is the residents' own home and this is reflected by her team leaders and care staff.
Mum has settled well and I know is afforded care with dignity and often a good dose of humour.
Finally, a special mention to the fantastic laundry and cooks - you do an amazing job.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was a resident at Oakwood Grange for almost six years until she passed away in January this year. I cannot recommend the staff there highly enough. My mum had dementia and could not have been better cared for during her time there. The staff treated her with kindness and compassion and also demonstrated
a great sense of humour, which definitely worked wonders with my mum. This kindness was also extended to me and my 92-year-old dad. My dad, who visited every day ( apart from during Covid), were cared for almost as much as my mum and always made to feel very welcome with a cheery welcome, cup of tea or even a meal. The environment was always spotless, and Mum's room was beautiful. As it became clear my mum's life was coming to an end, the staff stepped up even more and always ensured she had the care she needed and was as comfortable as possible, sitting with her when we couldn't be there. The staff definitely made Mum's passing easier for her and our family. Thank you so much.

I was very pleased with the care and compassion given to my husband while he was a resident at the care home. He was well-liked by all staff, and myself and my family would like to say a huge thank you. I was a nurse in the 60s and also worked as a night carer in the 80s; I loved the work. My husband
was very happy whilst he was a resident there and often said he couldn't thank the staff enough.

My mum is 90 and has been independent at her own home until we could no longer keep her safe. Her choice was to go into Oakwood Grange above and beyond care and help has been shown to my mum and all our family. I was told on day one when I was heartbroken to use the home as I would my mum's and it's
her home not a prison! I didn't believe how lovely a care home and it's staff could be but I was proved wrong, it's amazing and Mum loves it. Thank you.

Oakwood Grange offers a very warm welcome to residents and family members. The staff are all wonderful and cannot do enough to help. My mum when she stayed for respite at Oakwood Grange was treated with great dignity and very much enjoyed the interaction with the staff who treated her like one of the
girls and not an elderly disabled lady. After a fall and a long stay in hospital Dad asked to go to Oakwood for respite until he regained his strength on confidence.

I would definitely recommend Oakwood Grange. I cannot thank the management and carers enough for the care they gave my mother when she was admitted on end of life, fast track. She was only in for two weeks but the staff seemed more like friends and had so much concern for my mum. By having them provide
the care she needed it made it so much easier for us as a family to spend precious time with her. Thank you so much to everyone.

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.
