I visit my friend at least 3 times a week. I think this care home is excellent, it's well managed, very clean and security is good, visitor book is laid on the desk and the Bistro is good too. Visitors cannot get into the home sometimes for example on busy weekends but there is a buzzer and staff will
always let you in. There is no smell like some homes have. The dining room is lovely and visitors are always welcome to sit with the resident and you can get a cup of coffee.

Oak Grange has provided an exceptional level of care for my father during a few recent respite stays. Not only is Dad well looked after but the care staff (from carers through to cleaners) go the extra mile to engage and socialise with him. This makes his stays very pleasant, he is both content and
happy, and he has enjoyed a much richer experience than he gets at home. His stay shortly before Christmas was also very memorable, many of the Oak Grange staff made extra efforts to say hello to him when he is back in for respite stays. This provides a very happy and personal environment for him. The food and catering are really exceptional. All lounge and bathing facilities are first-class quality being recently renovated, so it really is a welcoming home from home and Dad is looked after worry-free on my part.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My auntie and uncle moved to Oak Grange in July 2022. Oak Grange does not feel like a care home when you walk in. It is beautifully furnished with lots of social areas for visitors and residents to sit in. It feels more like a hotel. My uncle was downstairs in the medical unit, he had MS and was very
ill. He was looked after with such care by the staff, we always knew he was in good hands. He sadly passed away in December but the staff were fantastically supportive in dealing with his end-of-life care and helping us as a family. My auntie is upstairs in the dementia unit and is so happy there. There are so many activities and although she is getting worse with her dementia she is thriving compared to being at home or in the hospital. We cannot thank the staff enough and would definitely recommend the home.

Oak Grange Care Home is a lovely care home that has amazing staff and facilities. The home is run very professionally from the front desk to all carers and management. My dad seems very happy here. One thing I would say is that more staff is needed on Olypic Ward.

In the relatively short time that my dad has lived at Oak Grange, he has really settled and he's happy. As a family, we have no concerns about my dad's care and well-being. My experience today has been that my dad is happy and he's in good spirits. The staff are on hand and approachable. I always find
the staff friendly. We made a very good choice in Oak Grange for Dad.

My sister moved into residential care at Oak Grange last summer as it had become impossible for her to have sufficient care at home after a number of hospital admissions. She found it very difficult and challenging at first to accept that she could no longer live at home. But gradually, thanks to the
really wonderful encouragement from the lovely community care manager and Oak Grange care team, my sister is settling in. I don't live locally but notice progress every time I visit. She is now even accepting help to get out of bed and eat meals in the dining room as well as starting to chat with other residents. It is very reassuring to know that she is being so well looked after. I can ring at any time to find out how she is and always have lovely support from the very dedicated care team. Nothing is too much trouble and everyone is prepared to go the extra mile. It is always a pleasure to visit the home as there is such a nice happy atmosphere. I can highly recommend Oak Grange.

My mum has been at Oak Grange for several years now. She has severe dementia and has additional care issues requiring significant attention. The care provided by Oak Grange staff has been wonderful, and I couldn't ask for Mum to be in better hands. Mum is still smiling and singing even though it has
been many years since she could last communicate with me.

A close friend who is like a family member booked in for a respite stay due to being unwell and struggling to cope with daily life. He was made welcome on arrival and was supported in settling into a spacious room. The decor is lovely and clean, just like a home-from-home with a 5* hotel treatment.
All the staff in the Jubilee community have been outstanding and have given 100% to ensure all his individual needs are catered for. Nothing has been too much trouble to do and they have gone above and beyond to promote/support him to be able to return back to his own home when he is ready.

I cannot commend more highly the care, respect and attention that my mother has received since she became a resident. Unfortunately in September 2020, my mum had a fall at home resulting in hospital care, from there she was not able to go home and I needed to find a care home to take her during the
initial Covid lockdown. Oak Grange dealt with everything from assessment by hospital staff to transfer immediately in the late evening - it was such a weight off my shoulders. We could not visit due to regulations, but Oak Grange constantly kept us informed. They have continued to do this throughout her stay, both from Barchester and from staff within the care home. Knowing my mum, she will not have been the easiest resident, especially at the beginning, but despite her increasing dementia, she has always received the highest level of care and compassion, not forgetting the weekly entertainment. It is not the cheapest of homes, but you do get what you pay for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My nan came into the home after a stay in hospital due to having an emergency operation. The staff completed the assessment with dignity and compassion as at the time our grandad (her husband of 59 years) had just passed away only days before. My nan immediately felt at ease and that she was going to
get through the tough times with assistance.
From the moment she entered the home which was a very fast discharge, which staff at Oak Grange had assisted to move along very quickly, my nan felt safe, could rest and was allowed to grieve in peace and at her own pace.
When she came in, she needed assistance with personal care and a very strict diet due to her operation, nothing was too much trouble for the staff and her every need was catered for. Due to the assistance and caring nature of all staff, my nan is now fully able to care for herself again but has decided to stay as she enjoys the company and knows there is support if needed in the future.

Oak Grange Care Home is a really lovely care home, with excellent care, provided for our loved ones. My ninety-year-old father was given three weeks of respite care in October 2022. The staff were excellent, caring and very professional. The building and surrounding areas are second to none. My father
was treated with dignity and respect, apart from one incident, which was dealt with immediately by the staff concerned. I can only praise the care at this home.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
For the brief period my Gran resided in the home my family resorted to organizing a rota, so we had peace of mind that she wouldn't be left to fend for herself.
Unless we were there, she would often be left without a drink and expected to take herself to the toilet (she has dementia and very poor mobility)
and as a result, picked up an infection.
Due to my insistence that she be seen by a nurse one evening, a doctor was called into the home to assess her. He told me if she doesn't receive antibiotics tonight shell be septic in the hospital tomorrow.
With my daily visits, I saw the same residents ignored, shouted at, and left to soil themselves. When we told a carer that one lady was asking for help with this she replied It's OK, she has a pad on.
I found the lack of staff to be poor and the management to be apathetic and dishonest.
If you have a relative that requires any form of care this isn't the place for them.

My mother moved into Oak Grange on 01 October 2022 after a challenging time in hospital following a fall. Within 24 hours of being at Oak Grange, I could see the difference in her outlook and mood.


Oak Grange is in a beautiful location and the standard of decoration and cleanliness is excellent.

Mum's room is spacious and well-appointed and has a door onto a lovely garden which she loves as she can watch the birds and the squirrels feed.


Every member of the team that I have met have been friendly, professional and happy in their work. Mum has been given a great welcome and the unit Manager has really taken the time to understand mums needs and how best to support her.


Mum is already socialising with fellow residents and being encouraged to enjoy the company that she needs. Mum has commented on how good the food is and how safe and comfortable she feels.


Knowing that mum is safe and well cared for has given me a great sense of relief after a challenging three years.

The nurses, carers and staff are amazing and caring towards my mum. They always tell me how she is, which reassures me. Mum is always clean and showered every day. Staff go above and beyond for residents, but also relatives making sure they are ok, and when they have any worries, they will sit and have
a chat about it. I cannot thank them enough for the past year. Highly recommend Oak Grange Care Home 100%.

My grandfather has been a resident on the second floor since October 2021 at Oak Grange.
The care he has received and continues to receive is second to none. Nothing is a problem and all the staff from care staff to management are always friendly. If there are any issues they are keen to resolve them
and keep you updated. Staff go above and beyond they really are amazing and I am so reassured that he is in somewhere where individuals have his best interests at heart, thank you so much it is appreciated from the bottom of my heart. He has regular snacks, fluids are involved with the inter action of the staff and they clearly care. A delightful place to be involved in and I would definitely recommend it and the beautiful surroundings.

(1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 24 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.

Georgia

Georgia Baxter

Job Title: General Manager Joined: 2026

Hello, I’m Georgia, and I’m the General Manager at Oak Grange Care Home.


I have been a registered nurse for six years, building my experience in supporting people to live happy, fulfilling lives. Before joining Oak Grange, I worked as a Deputy Manager within another Barchester care home, where I developed valuable leadership and management skills.


I am passionate about delivering high-quality care and creating a warm, welcoming environment for our residents, families, and team members. I believe that strong relationships, kindness, and open communication are at the heart of exceptional care, and my door is always open to anyone who would like to speak with me.


I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the Oak Grange family and look forward to working alongside our dedicated team to continue providing the highest standards of care and making a positive difference to the lives of those we support.


Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and taking part in Morris dancing, which is a hobby I have loved for many years.


I look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to Oak Grange.

Job Title: Administration Assistant Joined: 2022

Hello, my name is Becca and I am the Administration Assistant at Oak Grange, I will likely be one of the first faces you see when you arrive at the home and you’ll always receive a cheery smile and a warm welcome.


I have been part of the team since 2022 when I joined as a part-time General Assistant whilst studying my A Levels. I have worked in most departments so have knowledge from all perspectives and I am able to share this with potential families/residents when they visit.


In September 2023 I was delighted to be appointed as Admin Assistant and the opportunity to continue my education in Business Studies, NVQ Level 3. I feel valued and part of the team and love that I can grow and develop in such a wonderful nurturing environment.
