My father in law has been in Okeley for 3 months, he is very happy and very well cared for. We viewed quite a few care homes but knew straight away this was the top of our list. He calls it his home already, which makes us very happy knowing he is being very well cared for and gives us peace of
mind.

Generally good, nursing staff work hard, always nice coming onto reception - warm feeling. Cleanliness in mum's room could be improved, surfaces and particularly bedding with her stoma. Food leave a lot to be desired at times, and is often cold and bland. Still little understanding of foods mum
should not be served

Kind caring staff looking after both mum and dad.

Overall Okeley is a great care home, run and staffed by a dedicated team. The management team been fantastic, always supportive and addressed any concerns/issues immediately. All staff have always been welcoming and friendly. The home has a lovely atmosphere and is kept spotlessly clean on the whole
- although I feel that my mum's room could be kept cleaner, i.e. sticky surfaces and more attention to bed linen changes due to her particular issues. Activities team are amazing and always encourages participation. Food needs addressing, more variety needed.

Okeley Care Home have cared for my nan for four years so far. I know my nan is safe and her needs are met. The staff are lovely.

My 93 year old mother seems to be settled and happy to be here. Staff are so kind and caring and always have time to make her feel valued. She has been resident for 4 years plus and we have not seen the need to consider moving her. I am happy for her to remain here until the end of her days as her
needs are met extremely well.

I have found the care home very welcoming and very homely. All the staff are cheerful and helpful. My mum has settled in very well and I can see she is being well looked after.

My mum has been here for the last 4 weeks. She has been treated well by all the staff and is loving staying here. It feels like home with lovely company.

My dad moved to Okeley care home on the 17th March 2026 we visited many care homes at least twice to get a feel of the care homes and to see if any were a suitable place for him, as soon as we stepped into Okeley and met the manager the carers and admin they put our minds at rest straight away, we
went on a tour of the home and to see his room and knew straight away this would be the care home suitable for my dad, the care everyone shows to residents is just lovely to see, from not just the carers but management, receptionist, laundry staff, chefs, handy man etc you can tell they all love their jobs. When filling in this review I asked my dad's opinion on the care home and he told me what rating to give I think the outcome speaks for itself. If you are looking for a care home I would totally recommend Okeley without hesitation, the compassion, kindness and care is second to none, and we have great peace of mind knowing my dad is well cared for and in my dads own words "I love it here"

Fab staff, great activities, very clean, great food.

Dad has experienced many health issues since he moved in November 2025, and overall the care and empathy has been excellent. Recently challenging due to UTI delerium but some of the carers like Tilly have been wonderful to reassure dad and look after him. Tolu and Nimmy are also great with Dad. We
are also reassured by the presence of Mohammed, Mary, Sanjanan, Carmen and Shirleen. There is one carer that isn't as good with his bedside manner, but overall the experience has been positive. Just to add, Karen on reception is lovely and a credit to Okeley. Thank you to the team!

Lovely staff, clean environment, always having the residents participate in lots of different activities they really enjoy, great communication with the family and overall very satisfied with the services they provide. Would change nothing!

Always helpful staff. It was quite difficult when my brother first came in to Okeley Care Home. But he now seems calmer and seems happier.

Looking for a care home is a massive decision to make for a partner.
A visit to Okeley Care took all those worries away. The care here for my wife is above and beyond all expectations. So clean, comfortable, great selection of food and a dedicated team of staff. Well done, all. Could not ask for
more.

When you first enter the home it is very clean staff are very welcoming. There is always a wide range of activities for residents to enjoy. Staff are always willing to join in and interact with each other and residents.

My nan is very happy and settled here. All the staff are lovely and very good facilities. Staff always get residents involved and active with entertainment that they organise. Couldn't of sent my nan to a better care home.
18 February 2026
My Father is a resident and he's spent over two years here. The care is excellent, the food is varied and nutricious and the activity team do a fantastic job. Dad has enjoyed days out and likes to join in activities. The care manager is superb and all the staff are friendly and take great price in
their work.
