Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband had to be admitted for Dementia. My niece and I chose this home as it was well situated for friends and family and was well thought of. I intended initially to come for a week to help settle him in. I decided to stay as at 93 the thought of tunning a home and visiting my husband was overwhelming.
I have never regretted it for a moment, everyone has been so very kind and helpfull, the care has been excellent, medical and everyday and though I miss my home, this is rapidly becoming a replacement

I found Oak Grange by accident (I was referred by another Barchester home). The moment I walked in and met one member of staff, in particular, I knew this was the place, and within a couple of days my wife was installed in a delightful room, looking onto the garden. Because my wife was immobile the
staff came to her. They were very caring and attentive and the member of staff we met when we arrived/the head of memory lane gave me regular updates on her condition and any significant events. My wife was very happy and had a peaceful ending. I can't praise this home and it's staff any more highly.

The staff are excellent, faultless.
The weekdays are run better than the weekend, when my mother says they are understaffed. This is very noticeable.
The dining room is noisy.
Again - staff excellent.

Our expereince of the care home was extremely positive. Mum was encouraged to move about, her personal hygiene was well attended to and she ate and drank more regularly.
She looked better than she had since her fall, and her grandson said "she looked like a woman with dignity".
Whilst she was encouraged
to participate socially, her wishes were respected.

The care that my friend received was of the highest quality in every way. Although my friend was only there for seven days, they were truly the best last days of her life they could possibly be.
The whole leadership team, through to every single member of staff that I encountered was exemplary.
I

Mum has been at Oak Grange for nearly two years now. My sister and I are extremely pleased with her care and the lovely atmosphere. All the staff from reception, carers and support staff are all friendly, efficient and very caring, so visiting feels like a pleasure. Mum is happy and content. Everyone
seems to know her name and the care staff have come to understand her needs, her likes and dislikes and her personality very well. We also feel as relatives very well supported and can relax knowing she is such a caring and safe place.

Leaving your loved one in a care home can be a very emotional experience however this is made so much easier in a home of this standard. The facilities are wonderful and attention to detail is considered in every aspect of the home but, by far, the best thing is the care the residents are shown by all
members of staff. How lucky we are to have found this place.

My brother has settled in very well since moving here. He feels safe and well cared for by the staff who always treat him with a friendly smile, respond to his needs and respect his choices. A sense of humour is around and a relaxed atmosphere abounds. His medical needs are assessed and responded to
appropriately if changes need to be made and always explained to him as appropriate. Thank you to all staff concerned for his care.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Barchester Oak Grange is a lovely care home. Well designed with most residential rooms having French windows, it feels more like a hotel. The staff from the home administrator to the maintenance man were wonderful. My mother's regular carers were excellent, kind and compassionate and I could not have
wished for better. I knew I would be kept fully informed of my mother's health which gave me peace of mind. But.. when they had their days off she had care that was not always good and so I cannot say overall everything was excellent but as I visited regularly I was able to ensure needs were quickly met. Although in other ways the home excelled themselves. For example when after a few hours in hospital we took my mother back at 2 am she was greeted with smiles, a hug and whispered what about a cup of tea and hot buttered toast. Home from home! I would highly recommend Oak Grange and at the end they treated my mother with dignity and me with compassion.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sadly my mother passed away on 06.06.2024 at Oak Grange, after living there since October 2022. Throughout her time at Oak Grange Mum was always treated with dignity, respect, care and most of all love.
Following a fall in the summer of 2023 and a subsequent hip replacement, the team in the Jubilee
community enabled Mum to regain her mobility within weeks and until very recently she still navigated around where she called home and enjoyed the company of her fellow residents and the wonderful activities provided.
Sadly two weeks ago, Mum's body finally gave in after a long fight with Cancer and Alzheimer's and her health rapidly declined. In Mum's final days, the team went above and beyond to support both Mum and I. Her final hours were peaceful, pain-free and dignified.
To the Community Manager, the love and care you showed my mum, even once she had passed, will be something I will never forget. You are a very special lady and a credit to yourself and Oak Grange.
Reply from Sarah Butler, GM at Barchester Oak Grange Care Home

We are all very sad when your Mum passed away as she was a wonderful person who brightened the lives of those who had the pleasure of knowing her. It was truly a privilege to care for her and be able to support both your Mum and you during her journey and especially her final days. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and I will ensure that your lovely comments are passed to the team and in particular to the Community Manager.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our friend arrived last year from a care home in a different country. He had declined significantly and he needed to be near family. He was wheelchair-bound, dangerously thin, and mostly nonresponsive. A year later we found him walking, responsive, and strong! I am impressed that all of the staff know
him and genuinely care: managers, nurses, carers, kitchen staff, laundry, and maintenance. Despite his special diet, they ensure he receives a variety of tasty food presented beautifully. They tune their TV to their favourite stations or music channels. If family leaves him snacks, they make sure he gets them though he doesn't have the dexterity to feed himself or the verbal skills to request. He is always dressed and clean. And, everyone knows him and his background from his career to his hobbies. They talk to him and engage with him. His medication management is top-notch even with a very challenging condition. Additionally, they treat all of their residents with the same kindness and care.

Thank you for your feedback, it has been a real pleasure to support your friend in moving back to the UK and to share his journey. We have loved learning about his career and lifelong passion and being able to enjoy this with him and our other residents. We look forward to you visiting us and your friend again soon and sharing many more memories together.

My mum recently moved from a care home out of the area into Oak Grange. From the day she arrived the welcome from all members of the team was warm yet professional ensuring Mum’s needs were met.
She is treated with dignity yet the team has got to know her and she has fun there, seeing her laughing
with them is just the best feeling.
The facilities are excellent and the food is varied with lots of options. Mum feels safe and at home which is all we as her family had hoped.
I can’t comment on the activities yet as Mum has yet to try them but with the team's encouragement and support, Mum is sitting in a chair which she hasn’t done for a few years.

Review from Hilary K (Wife of Resident) published on 16 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My husband had sadly been kept in the hospital for 17 weeks as he tried to recover from Sepsis. He was treated appallingly there, without respect and care, ignoring his dementia. He was deteriorating so quickly they found him a care space at Oak Grange.
I was very impressed when I was shown around
this home. Unfortunately, although the care appeared good, many times when I visited there was a shortage of qualified staff on the ward and my hubby was showing a high level of fear and distress. He was often dirty and his urine bag wasn't emptied making walking impossible. I found him walking around without slippers on a number of occasions because one/both of them had disappeared. There was no real concern. On transferring to a home nearer to me, many carefully named belongings weren't sent with him. Indeed his case contained a whole variety of clothes, including a lady's blouse, that didn't belong to him. There was no concern when I reported this to the home.

From the moment I walked into Oak Grange, I knew that it was the home where my Dad would be cared for in the best possible way.
The residents are treated not just as old people with dementia, but as people still very much living and there is an emphasis on knowing all about the person, their life
and interests.
All staff are utterly professional and genuinely interested in and caring for both residents and their families and take the time to speak with and listen to any concerns the family may have which are always acted upon quickly.
The activity staff and programme is a blessing and second to none. My Dad may not remember the activity shortly after taking part, but in the moments of the activity he has gained much pleasure, been stimulated and able to engage with others.
Oak Grange has lovely facilities in my Dad's unit, which creates a genuinely homely environment: the spacious bedroom with en-suite, wide carpeted corridors with more than one corridor, beautifully furnished sitting room, garden views from the bedroom and dining room, access to a secure outside space and not forgetting the super cinema room for entertainment!
I am and will be forever grateful that Oak Grange exists and that my Dad is able to live there.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.626)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.626) out of 10 for Barchester Oak Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.626 for Barchester Oak Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 211 Ratings = 4.626
  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 Barchester Oak Grange Care Home is based on 17 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 17 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.
