Welcome to Oakham Grange, a family owned home in Oakham, Rutland, that challenges most people’s expectations of what a Residential Home with Nursing feels like, able to support those living with long term conditions such as dementia, complex nursing needs, long term and for short breaks (respite).

Wherever you have come from or the circumstances that have led you to Oakham Grange, everyone at the home is here to support you.

I have experienced kindness from 99% of staff. Good care. Pleasant room. Good food. Would like breakfast at 8.30.
Some activities here been cancelled at short or notice which is disappointing, especially at weekends. As a registered blind resident these activities are essential. Food - very limited
choice
Reply from Robert Myers, Head of Care Pathways at Oakham Grange

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, as we know you are a very frequent visitor. Person centred care means breakfast is prepared for your mother at a time she wishes, which we appreciate isn't always a time which works for you. We agree food is really important, which is why all meals here are prepared within the home fresh each day by the Chef led team, a team your mother has regularly complimented. The menu (which always has a minimum of two hot options) is reviewed every 4 weeks to make the most of seasonal changes, however if nothing on it appeals, the team will prepare something else, like an omelette with choice of filling.

From my first contact with Oakham Grange, when I was looking for respite care for my husband, following a poor experience at another home, we have been treated professionally and with respect. My husband is now a permanent resident and is being very well cared for. Staff are proactive in monitoring
and updating his care plan and all staff (management, care and nursing) are willing to listen to queries and suggestions and implement change if it is appropriate. Record keeping is exemplary and I am kept fully up to date with any changes in my husband's care.
All family and visitors are greeted warmly at reception, the home is spotless and very well maintained, and clothing is well laundered. The range of activities is excellent and there is something for everyone, should they wish to participate.
Whilst always a very difficult decision to move a relative into residential care, Oakham Grange staff go out of their way to make it a positive experience.

After a 12 week hospital stay, my Dad had deteriorated in many different aspects of his health and wellness. He was discharged from hospital to Oakham Grange, and we could not be happier with the progress that he has made in just 3 weeks of being there. It is a very calming, homely environment with
amazing facilities and wonderful caring staff who treat both my Dad and our family with the utmost respect. The manager is incredibly kind, warm and helpful and has been a great support to us in helping with the transition of Dad's care from home, to the care home. I am very grateful to all the staff at Oakham Grange for providing my Dad with the outstanding level of care and support he needs to help him recover to his full potential.

Never had a single thing to complain about. Everyone has been friendly, kind and helpful. All the staff have been amazing in their professionalism, and no task is too onerous. The activities are enjoyable and high quality. The pianist is wonderful and everyone enjoys his performances. The facilities
are second to none and are made by the pleasant, helpful team. There has been no back-biting or back-chat -it seems a very happy place. The staff genuinely care and that's apparent. We have not heard any complaints from anyone at all. All in all a wonderful place to be.

As the son of residents at Oakham Grange, I'm incredibly grateful for the exceptional care provided.
From day one, the team has offered not only outstanding support but also a consistent, warm, and respectful environment that truly feels like home.
The staff are consistent and familiar faces who
are genuine, kind, compassionate, and professional which provides my parents with real stability and comfort. It's clear they genuinely care, always treating residents with the dignity and respect they deserve.
The home is spotlessly clean, well maintained, and welcoming. Meals, especially lunch, are always fresh and thoughtfully prepared. It gives me great peace of mind knowing my loved ones are in such capable, caring hands.
A heartfelt thank you to the entire Oakham Grange team - your dedication makes all the difference.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has always been independent but after the loss of her husband last year a serious medical issue followed and she deteriorated quickly
She was given a matter of weeks to live
The shock and fear for everyone was intense I was totally out of my depth.
By some miracle she stabilised we tried
to cope at home but the pressure was too great.
I was forced to look for help and had no knowledge whatsoever of nursing homes except a rather negative take on them.
Oakham Grange has been a lifesaver, not just hers but mine as well. From the moment I first visited I had such a good feeling. Not what I was expecting at all!
Immaculately clean the staff are always at hand with a ready smile. A feeling of love care and compassion not often found in the world today. Medical needs are monitored closely and administered with dignity. The food excellent and of a continuously high standard.
She is approaching her 91st birthday happy and content. We owe Oakham Grange a deep sense of gratitude.

Simply thank you for caring about your residents and their families. We always feel welcome when visiting and often hear (and see!) how good the food is, how kind and respectful the staff are, and the discreet reassuring support on offer when needed, while allowing independent choice where possible.
It is reassuring to know that they are being well cared for when we are unable to be there.

I have never written a review before but I feel so strongly about Oakham Grange that I had to. The manager and all the team are so helpful and kind. My mum was welcomed and looked after from the moment she arrived in June 2024.
Oakham Grange is clean and the atmosphere really gives a 'home from home'
feeling.
There is always an activity or performance to attend to have fun at and interact with other residents. The manager and the staff even arranged a coffee morning for Mum, who was missing friends from the village she had lived in all her life, so everyone could come in and see her. Everyone was so impressed with the lengths the staff would go to arrange such a special morning for everyone in the community.
My family and I are so grateful to each and every one of the staff at Oakham Grange.

My mother moved into Oakham Grange in July and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.
From the moment you walk into the reception area, you feel wrapped in a calm, friendly atmosphere.
Everywhere is kept exceptionally clean, the rooms are amazing, very spacious and nicely decorated.
All
the staff (and I mean all - maintenance, cleaners, carers, nurses, office/reception, management) are conscientious, carrying out their different jobs in a professional manner, each has time for the residents, nothing is rushed and nothing is too much trouble. As a team, they make everyone - not only the residents but family and friends too - feel special.
I am so happy to have Mum living in Oakham Grange, I know she is safe and is being well cared for.
Thank you, Oakham Grange

From talking to the family of the resident of The Grange and my own experience when visiting, I just feel the Grange could do better. Service is very slow. The staff are very kind but have no sense of urgency about them. If my friend needs help going to the toilet sometimes she has to wait 15 mins for
that help. There is no consistency with serving of breakfast either, for example, sometimes 7:30am sometimes 9:15 - despite her requesting a time. There needs to be better management.
Reply from Robert Myers, Head of Care Pathways at Oakham Grange

Thank you for your review and for sharing your concerns, however in the future please report these straight away to any staff on duty, the Service Manager (or if you prefer to email, their contact details are on their profile picture by the main Household entrance), or to the General Manager whose office is directly opposite the reception signing in desk. The sooner we can hear about niggles, the sooner we can prevent them from turning into problems. Thank you, OG

It was a big decision to move my 99-year-old father to Oakham from a home on the south coast where sadly he was not being cared for properly. From the moment I contacted Oakham Grange, they did everything they could to reassure me and to make the move go as smoothly as possible.
Everyone is so friendly
and kind. The staff are always looking for ways to make life easier and more enjoyable for my very frail dad. They seem to look after Dad and all the other residents as if they were looking after their own parents or grandparents.
I love the layout of the lounge and dining areas, where Dad can feel part of things as much as he is able. Little things count. The staff say hello and make me welcome when I visit. They are always happy to stop and chat about how Dad is doing and they are always well-informed because they communicate well with each other. It seems a happy place to work with great teamwork across all departments, creating a great atmosphere for residents and families.

My mother moved in mid-March and every effort was made by all the staff to make her feel welcome and settled. The staff are very attentive and efficient and always with a cheery smile. Oakham Grange is spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished giving it a 'home from home ' atmosphere. The activities
arranged are very much appreciated by my Mum enabling her to interact with the other residents. The menus are very varied, so well cooked and presented. To sum up - I defy anyone to find anything or anyone negative!

I have visited my friend who lives at Oakham Grange several times in the last few months. On each visit, he has always been well turned out and happy. He has a great relationship with the care team and enjoys the food and activities. There is always a warm welcome to visitors from staff who clearly
enjoy what they do. Although my friend was not looking forward to living in a care home, he told me that he wished he had gone to Oakham Grange sooner, as his quality of life has really improved, and feelings of loneliness and isolation are now a thing of the past.

I had been looking for respite care for my father and was very relieved to find Oakham Grange. It was important for me to feel as comfortable as possible when entrusting others with his care, and from my first telephone enquiry, everyone was extremely welcoming, understanding and caring.
The atmosphere
is warm and friendly. The interior is light and lovely, and everywhere is spotless.
It has been such a great place for my father to stay, initially for a few weeks and then again for a further visit. Nothing is ever too much trouble for anyone and all of the staff, in every department, have been incredibly kind and caring of him, always with a smile. The teams seem to come together as one happy family.
Oakham Grange provides great support and gives me peace of mind. My father has made ongoing friendships there. I would highly recommend anyone considering care, to visit, and see for themselves what a wonderful place this could be for them too.

Following a stay in the hospital we needed to find a care home for Mum which could support end-of-life care with nursing facilities. We looked at other care homes but were immediately impressed by the staff and facilities. Mum could not participate in any of the activities although she did enjoy her
experience of touching a baby lamb, something she had never done in her 95 years.
Mum was not always well enough to enjoy the wide range of quality food offered but the staff always ensured any special requests were fulfilled. Latterly as her health declined the staff supported her feeding.
The staff could not be kinder and were always attentive to her needs and extremely friendly and kept us advised on her condition at all times.
Although she entered the home with a life expectancy of only a month it is only due to the level of care and attention she received that we in fact lost her 8 months later.
We cannot express enough our thanks to all at Oakham Grange for all their support.

Mum transferred to Oakham Grange from another care home 4 months ago. A staff member at Oakham Grange arranged suitable transport. It was a great relief that Mum settled in immediately and has been calm and content since. The very spacious, comfortable open-plan dining and lounge areas (with balcony
access) enable lots of flexibility and ease of movement. The ratio of carers to residents on Mum's floor (Avocet) seems very high and the carers constantly observe and interact with Mum. They have managed to improve Mum's intake of food and drink, partly due I think to the relaxed way meals are served and the regular topping up of drinks. Mum starts meals very slowly and is allowed to sit at the table and start to eat at her own very slow time and continue until she has finished. That sometimes spans several hours. In the time Mum has been at Oakham Grange so far, I haven't experienced any negative points.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.732)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.732) out of 10 for Oakham Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.732 for Oakham Grange is calculated as follows: ( (194 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 246 Ratings = 4.732
  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 Oakham Grange is based on 20 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 20 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.

Jesamy Rawlings

Job Title: General Manager Joined: 2021

Hello, my name is Jesamy, and I am the General Manager here at Oakham Grange. I am a Registered Mental Health Nurse, having qualified at Robert Gordon’s University in 2007. I began my career working in Royal Cornhill Hospital in Aberdeen, in a functional assessment ward for those over 65 years of age who were experiencing acute mental health issues. I then moved on to working in a dementia assessment ward, and following that a challenging behaviour ward for gentlemen over the age of 65. Upon my return from maternity leave, I worked in various settings and then moved back home to Rutland where I took up a position as a nurse in a care home. I gained the experience and knowledge required to become the Clinical Lead nurse, which I absolutely loved.


I am so proud to say that I work at Oakham Grange, having been born in Oakham (back when Rutland Memorial Hospital still had a maternity unit and Dr Brentnall was in charge) and bought up in Uppingham. I am passionate about ensuring that we provide the highest standard of care possible to the people of Rutland and beyond. I believe that people should be treated with the same love and care that I would like to see my own family treated with and I strive to make sure that this is the case for all our residents at Oakham Grange.

Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2020

At the age of 17, I started my Dip H E in adult nursing at Leeds University. I qualified in 1999 and started my first job in nursing in Ward 15 at Glenfield Hospital, which was a rehabilitation ward.


I worked here for 18 months while waiting for a community nursing post to come up as this is what I really wanted to do. I started as a community nurse in April 2001, and this is where I have spent the last 19 years of my career, all in different guises. I was a triage nurse for 18 months for the community and latterly from 2014 worked for a service called ICS. This service was rolled out to provide a multidisciplinary team approach to enable people at home, rather than being admitted to the hospital. I met my 2 colleagues Liz and Chrissy working here approximately 12 years ago and now a new adventure begins for the 3 of us as nurse practitioners working together to provide nursing care at Oakham Grange. This is very exciting!! To be able to work as a professional with friends whom you have the utmost trust and belief in is very special. My aim as a nurse practitioner and Deputy Manager at Oakham Grange is to provide autonomous, person-centred care for our residents.
