Oak Park Care Home has a homely atmosphere and residents look happy and well cared for. Meals are prepared on the premises and there are daily activities to keep spirits up. Staff are friendly and caring and I feel better knowing my lovely Mum is in good hands.

Review from Susan T (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 February 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visited my mum today in Oak Park Care Home where she has just arrived today and it was so lovely to see my mum smiling again after a month in hospital, moving 6 times to different wards and between two hospitals. The staff at Oak Park were so lovely and helpful. The home itself is beautiful inside
and outside. It is more like a hotel than a care home and beautifully decorated and furnished to very high standards. I now have peace of mind at last that my mum is in the best place and will be well looked after now. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a care home for their relative. 10/10 for everything. To see my mum so happy again was such a relief and makes it easier to rest now and relax, knowing that she is safe and getting the best care possible. Thank you to all the staff at Oak Park Care Home. From one very happy daughter and granddaughter.

From the minute my grandma moved into Oak Park, we, as a family, knew it was the best decision. The home is beautiful, the staff are so friendly and happy to answer any questions we have. Fantastic home with a fantastic team! Highly recommend!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Great place and the staff are friendly and approachable; they try their best to get the residents included and interactive in daily activities. My mum recently moved there from another home, and Oak Park Care Home is far superior in all aspects than the previous place. Can’t recommend the staff and
residency enough.
Reply from Denise Spencer, Home Manager at Oak Park Care Home

Thank you so much for your review. I am pleased to hear that your mother has settled and enjoyed her new home. I will share your feedback with all the team within Oak Park; they will be really pleased to hear your comments and that they have made a difference in your mother's life.
Kindest regards.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was a resident on the Mitchell Suite of Oak Park, she was treated with dignity and respect and enjoyed her stay, she was not the easiest lady to please but they did a grand job. Her room was lovely comfortable and spacious with an ensuite. I couldn’t thank the staff within the unit enough
for the care they provided for her in the three years she was with them, they are a very compassionate and brilliant team. In her final days, the team went the extra mile to ensure she was comfortable and allowing us to safely visit during the pandemic. They are led by great management and I could not be more grateful. Thank you so much all at Oak Park.

Review from Bridget L (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 September 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The first time I walked into Oak Park I thought it had a lovely atmosphere and that it was more like a hotel than a care home. Straight away I felt that my mother could feel at home there. The care home staff are amazing and have remained positive and cheerful throughout the recent Covid crisis while
providing professional care for each resident.
The management have tried to maintain contact between families and residents, providing Skype and when the government guidelines allowed, a space for residents to receive visitors safely. The activities co-ordinator arranges a variety of fun activities to bring the residents together. There is a choice of beautifully furnished areas to sit or take exercise along the corridors lined with interesting artwork. The residents are given as much freedom and choice as is safely available. Oak Park is well managed, clean and with appetising food. I am so grateful it is there to care for our loved ones.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From coming through the door until the day she passed away my mother was very well looked after by caring and compassionate staff.
During the Covid lockdown without exception, they have tried their hardest to keep residents happy treating them like part of their own family and they were never too
busy to stop and have a chat.
Over the last few weeks as Mum's health deteriorated they always kept me informed as to how she was and what was happening, letting me sit in on doctors visits even though they were in lockdown and letting me sit with her in her last few hours.
Thank you Oak Park from all the family.

Wonderful loving caring environment for my mum. Management always make time to reassure me and family that Mum is doing well which greatly reduces anxiety and worry. In these strange times, it's fantastic knowing Mum is thriving and cared for by an amazing team of carers.

Review from Ruth H (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 August 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment that my mum moved into the dementia unit at Oak Park she has been treated with care, respect, kindness, sensitivity and understanding. When she doesn't want to go to bed, the staff happily sit up half the night chatting and watching TV with her, with a cup of coffee each. In March,
when Mum stopped eating and drinking, the staff did their utmost to tempt her with all her favourite foods, encouraging her to try a little fruit now and again, until she got her appetite for food and life back again.
My mum is not only well cared for here, she is happy and settled. I can't recommend Oak Park highly enough. Thank you to all the staff.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff on my mum's suite first and foremost treat my mum with dignity and respect. I have been witness to the care my mum received when she was extremely unwell and it was exemplary. Prior to COVID, I visited 4 or 5 times a week. Her room is spacious and bright with a lovely ensuite shower room.
The food looks good, the home is welcoming, clean, bright and airy with of several communal areas, including a bar which doubles as a cinema. The activities are varied and include regular entertainment from singers etc.
I feel satisfied that my mum is safe, well cared for and treated with respect. I would recommend Oak Park.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.851)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.851) out of 10 for Oak Park Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.851 for Oak Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (161 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 188 Ratings = 4.851
  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 Oak Park Care Home is based on 16 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 16 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.
