Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are absolutely delighted with every aspect of mum's experience at Oakbank Care Home.
All staff are extremely welcoming, friendly and caring towards mum and us as family members. There is a lovely sense of a very happy team.
The level of care is excellent. Carers always speak to mum kindly and make
sure she is supported with her personal care.
The surroundings are beautiful. Mum's bedroom is tastefully furnished and always cosy. The sitting and dining rooms are light and airy. It is a lovely space to enjoy time with mum.
Throughout the week, there are a wide range of super activities that mum gets involved with and really enjoys. The weekly visit from Stanley the therapet and local nursery children coming for lunch are just a couple of highlights. There is always something going on to offer stimulation and opportunities to socialise. Everyone sits together to enjoy mealtimes and the standard of food is excellent.
Mum is genuinely happy and settled. We would highly recommend Oakbank to others.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt and uncle arrived in Oakbank Care Home together in December. They were able to choose their rooms and then the staff put up their pictures to welcome them. Every since member of staff has been 100% friendly and support to family, visitors and to my uncle and aunt. They have been encouraged to
take part in Christmas parties, visit the dining room and the hairdresser. They have put up a bird feeder for my uncle. Our experience so far has been wonderful and we are very grateful to have such a lovely care home for my uncle and aunt. The cafe is lovely too - there is an excellent chef at Oakbank - the whole experience so far has been 10/10.

Fantastic staff with great care for both my elderly parents. Staff go above and beyond to ensure their safety and needs are covered. As a family, we were really impressed by the variety and extent of activities available throughout the full festive period with social media updates posted to reflect
how involved both mum and dad were. The whole team are brilliant and can't speak highly enough for care provided.
Reply from Margaret Ann Gavin, Care Home Manager at Oakbank Care HomeThank you, we really appreciate you taking the time to complete a review.

My friend moved here to Oakbank from another care home some distance away. The facilities are first class with extremely attentive staff where nothing seems to be too much trouble. The joy that can now be seen in my friend's demeanour since their move is something to behold.

My husband has been a resident at Oakbank Care Home for two months. He has settled in well and is getting a good level of care. Any issues raised by me have been addressed quickly. His room is beautifully decorated and the lounge and dining room have been tastefully designed. With excellent facilities.
There is also a lovely garden in which my husband and I can spend some time together. Communication is good and I am always contacted if there are any concerns.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Yesterday for the second time I visited a client of mine. It was his Birthday. Wow. The staff were all very welcoming to both myself and my colleague. Told us about our client's day. We had latte's he had bubbles we saw his birthday cake which was stunning and very personal to his love of boats. He
was asked what he would like for his dinner and got his wish. Steak.
Everyone is so attentive and there is such a lovely atmosphere from the minute you walk through the door. The rooms are clean, spacious well appointed with a homely feel. The staff are friendly and chatty. I definitely would rate it 5.
Well done to everyone!

Firstly, Oakbank is a lovely building with excellent furnishings throughout.
Our friend's room is very comfortable with access to outside gardens.
The staff all seem so friendly and approachable and I'm reassured that our friend is getting the very best care, it is a pleasure to visit and faultless
with staff looking after visitors with the same care as residents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My former colleague/friend's husband sadly died suddenly early march this year. It became apparent without him she hadn't the capacity to look after herself. The following day she went to a care home 10 miles aways for emergency care. She spent 19 weeks there. Then moved to Oakbank on the day it opened.
Nothing can change her condition and nothing can bring her husband back, but I take great solace seeing her now and knowing she is receiving such wonderful care, bless her. Thank you all, Oakbank.

This has been a very sad time for my friend, after losing her husband so suddenly, that I feel she is getting back a bit of normality. The staff are wonderful at giving her the love and support that she needs. I am very happy that my friend is residing at this care home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.930)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.930) out of 10 for Oakbank 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 54 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 54 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 4.930 for Oakbank Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (590 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 632 Ratings = 4.93
  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 Oakbank Care Home is based on 54 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (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 54 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.
