We approached Oakwood Grange for a bed for Mum prior to discharge from hospital. The management were excellent. The situation changed to fast track for end of life car they were still willing to take Mum (Her home is 200m from Oakwood Grange).
All the staff were caring. Fantastic to Mum and my sister
and I. She was there less than 2 weeks but the staff allowed my Mum and us to say goodbye with love and grace.
I cannot thank them enough.

My mother was in this care home until her death in March 2021. The staff were brilliant with my mum. The care and attention my mum received was fantastic. A carer sat with Mum until myself and sister's arrived due to her imminent death.

Whatever is on my mind, I know I can go and talk to all the staff about anything; they all work so hard and deserve a lot of credit for what they do. Keep up the good work; I really appreciate it. They place bing, have quizzes and they have a singer in - he is brilliant. They all dance; it's great.
Thank you, everyone.

Oakwood Grange has been my home for 11 months. I have found it very friendly and cosy. It is kept exceptionally fresh and clean and we have every comfort available. The staff are well trained and courteous. The meals are very good and we have a choice of most meals. We are encouraged to join in activities
and games, so we are kept entertained.

We will be clapping your care efforts on Thursday night at 8:00 pm. We have always appreciated your hard work. Royston Oakwood Grange staff are amazing. Mum passed away in January (at Oakwood in your trusted care), we have been thinking of you all and wanted to let you know.
Love from us girls.

My father came to stay for respite after being seriously ill in hospital and unable to look after himself. It was agreed that he could become a permanent resident much to his relief and mine. The staff look after my father with dignity, care and respect and have brought him on in himself, healthwise
in a way that is second to none. Knowing he is here being cared for is a great relief to myself.

I have the utmost confidence in the staff that look after my father, they always have time for his needs and it takes a lot of stress of our family who use to care for him. They often have activities that he can join in with and he seems at home here. Thank you.

On coming to Oakwood Grange from the hospital, I was in a bad condition from pneumonia and was unable to help myself. The staff and carers were very kind to me and treated me like a king. I am very grateful to them all.
My health is improving now and I love them all.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
As a family, we visited mother most days for the 2 years she was in Oakwood. We always found the staff to be helpful and informative to us and dedicated and caring to the residents even when under extreme pressure. I found the management staff to be extremely useful and competent, especially when mother
died.
I don't think we could have found a better place for her to spend her final years.

My mother spent the last four months of her life at Oakwood Grange. I cannot praise the staff enough for the love and exemplary care that they showed to her particularly during her end of life care. Nothing was ever too much trouble for the staff. They always treated my mother with great respect for
her dignity.


The home is well run, friendly and welcoming. A great place to be!

Much as I like Oakwood Grange and I am very happy that my auntie is well taken care of, my only complaint is that she has spent over £100,000 on care - but the government still wants more! Very greedy.

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.
