"Very caring staff, my mother is very happy. My only grievance is it is rather expensive, and as my sister and I had to sell my mother's property to finance her stay in Oulton Park, money is getting quite low to enable her staying in the care home."

"The quality of care at Oulton Park Care Centre is extremely high. My mother-in-law has been a resident there for 7-months, requiring complex medical care. Due to covid19, we were not able to visit her for the last 6-months. We are able to speak to her on the phone and were given regular updates on her health and well-being. We can now have weekly distanced visits, and see she is being well cared for. Always tidy and nicely dressed, and sometimes pleased to show off nicely manicured and painted fingernails or wearing a pretty coloured hairband she has made. Carers are cheerful, friendly and sensitive to sometimes difficult situations. Always a welcoming atmosphere. Cannot praise the staff highly enough in these extremely difficult times. Mother is getting the best possible care. Many thanks to all the staff."

Ruth Ycarehome.co.uk rating: 5 out of 5

"I last wrote a review on this site for Oulton Park in 2018, and I knew then that it would be a good home for Mum, I gave it 5*. Despite a difficult period in 2019 with numerous changes in management, I'm pleased to say that the care my mum receives by the staff has never faltered and she is positively thriving here now. With Covid-19 precautions in place, it is difficult being limited in how much time I can spend with Mum, but the time we have together in the garden is relaxed and precious. The garden is resplendent as always, and the activities team work well to keep things running smoothly - we always have a good chinwag and a singalong! A huge thank you to everyone at Oulton Park for everything they do, especially through this extremely difficult period. I know the virus is still very much around us, but I know that Mum is in safe hands."

"The care home is spotless. Very clean. Carers are lovely, kind, hardworking, and thoughtful. Treat residents with respect. Front of house staff are friendly. The problem here is management. A succession of managers who make false promises. Lack of communication, not good enough. Nursing care is sometimes excellent/sometimes not!"

"As the home has been in lockdown for 11/12 weeks it is difficult to give an up to date review. Life must have been very difficult for the home staff during this period and I presume the staff has looked after the patients to their best of ability. I used to visit most days and occasionally had to ask a carer to position my husband differently and keep his feet away from the end of the bed, but the staff was always willing to help him."

We visited Oulton Park where we were treated with great kindness and respect. fortunately, a place was available for mother on leaving hospital. She was made welcome and comfortable, and her medical needs addressed immediately. She is settling in well. Carers and nurs always to hand. The atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed and we can visit any time. The food is home-cooked and excellent. Visitors can join her for a meal anytime. Having visited care homes in the area - Oulton Park is the best!"

Once he was in Oulton Park, he received brilliant service and the staff responded well to his needs, which made us feel at ease. The home also facilitated urgent respite for my mother-in-law too. Lovely, caring staff and lovely food. We were always kept informed regarding their care."

"My mother-in-law spent the best part of three weeks in respite care at Oulton Park. The general impressions are of a clean and modern environment. This was better than many older homes that we'd visited which were situated in old buildings converted for the purpose and as a result did not seem to work as well. We didn't get to visit the home whilst the mother-in-law was there as we were on holiday, The staff we had dealings with appeared caring and polite and it was clear that they understood the condition of dementia which we felt was critical. Mother-in-law appears to have enjoyed her stay, although she suffers from dementia so memory/recall is a problem. She seemed happy to return for respite in the future which we took as a positive sign. Her room was comfortable and private and she remarked on how much she enjoyed the room. We are in the process of booking more respite here for the coming spring and summer at Oulton, that must be a recommendation."

Christine Acarehome.co.uk rating: 5 out of 5

"Our family moved our 92-year-old Mum into Oulton Park last October. She has been in care since late 2017. Her previous care home did not have the skills to provide for her needs so Oulton Park was recommended by the local mental health team. She has dementia. Mum settled in quite quickly. She is in the dementia specialist unit called Memory Lane so all the residents have some degree of dementia from each end of the spectrum. The regular staff are totally skilled in caring for adults with dementia and work hard to ensure all the residents' needs are catered for. She is well fed and has an attractive bedroom that is kept clean and well maintained. The health needs of the residents are monitored by the nurses who administer all the medication too. We are impressed by the level of skills that the staff show and they never seem phased by their residents, no matter what happens. They can clearly manage and care for those with dementia. I would recommend this dementia unit."

Paul Acarehome.co.uk rating: 4.42 out of 5

"This place is your worst nightmare for a dementia family member. You go into the unit and the smell of urine is so overwhelming it makes you gag. It's dirty and tired the whole place needs a total refurb. There seem to be no activities going on for the dementia patients nearly everyone has been put into a large wheelchair (your expense) which is bizarre one week someone is walking around normally the next week they are in a chair never to move again - and with this amount of residents in chairs and the small amount of staff there is no way they can be moved on a regular basis. Recently we went to visit my dad he was lying in bed in a duvet and pillow with no cover, both were dirty and worn, he lay in an old t-shirt and nappy not even trousers for his self-respect. We finally moved him after the final straw he was put on a liquid diet - only this decision was made by a carer not a professional and no one could even say why he was put on this diet and no investigation by the home."

They have a laugh and a joke with her as well as us when we visit. The food is lovely by what my gran tells me. The activities are good and she can mix with the other residents as and when she wants. It does seem a bit short staffed at weekends when we visit but she is still well looked after."

"It is a very traumatic time to find a home for a parent who can no longer look after themselves but the staff at Oulton Park stood out from the rest and were so kind and considerate from the minute we arrived at the home to view it, to now, when mum is coping with her new surroundings. The views from the rooms into gardens and the rooms where they can sit with family and friends or other residents give a lovely feel to the place. The staff are attentive and caring and will always find time to talk to mum. We know she is being cared for in the best place."

"We were reluctant to place Mum in a home but in August, due to a deterioration in her health, we knew that we had no choice. We were so pleased to find Oulton Park, it is bright and airy, and all on one level with fantastic gardens. We visited several care homes, but Oulton Park was the only one that ticked all the boxes. The home is laid out in such a way that Mum could move around freely and safely. We found the manager and staff were all very friendly. Over the last month, I have visited regularly and found the staff to be extremely caring and compassionate on every occasion. Mum is thriving and that is the most important factor. I would not hesitate to recommend Oulton Park and indeed have already done so."

"My uncle has been a resident for two years. He was admitted after he and his partner were found on the floor of their bungalow. They had been there for 30 hrs. My uncle tried to help his 92-year-old partner off the floor and fell himself. They spent several weeks in hospital. My dad's partner died. My uncle was a broken man when he was admitted to Oulton Park. His dementia appeared to intensify with his grief of the loss of his beloved partner, his home and his independence. The team at Oulton Park were with my uncle supporting, understanding and caring for him through his journey of grief and dementia. He is now thriving. He laughs, teases the staff and has put on weight. The Oulton Park has given meaning and purpose of life back to my uncle. He is living well with his dementia. His care is planned around his individual needs. My uncle has been given his life back by the team and Oulton Park Care Centre."

"I would like to praise the outstanding and excellent care that my nan receives from this care home. It is run supremely well and the staff are very welcoming, they work extremely hard and should be praised for the job they do. Furthermore the home is very clean and the hygiene is to an exemplary standard. In addition to this, I have been very impressed with the food and facilities. The choice and selection is that of a 5 star hotel. I would strongly recommend the home to anyone."

"It is a privilege to express our admiration for all the team who make Barchester Oulton Park Care Centre a very special and unique home. The standard of care, love and patience given to everyone staying there is amazing. Our mother suffers with Alzheimer's and over the last year they have never failed her, patiently caring for her every need in a cheerful, professional manner. Her room and all the facilities are clean, immaculate, designed to feel homely and inspiring! The dining rooms, conservatory and gardens are truly beautiful and the choice of food served is of top restaurant standard, excellent."

"Because of the neglect to my wife in another care home she returned home unable to ever walk again. I cared for her for fourteen months. Her condition gradually became worse and I had to consider a nursing home. On the advice of several people and Oulton Park was recommended. This was the best advice ever given to me as we found it an absolutely wonderful home. The staff are the most caring, friendly and experienced we have ever known. They do their utmost to treat each individual so all receive personal care."

"My mum had a stroke in late December 2015. After two months in hospital she moved to Oulton Park. We were initially worried about the move and the change in surroundings. However my mum was quickly made welcome and was very happy at the home. The staff were very caring and attentive. I was impressed with the activities arranged for the residents. Mums room was pleasant with a view of the garden area. Sadly my mum had a second stroke in early April and passed away after two weeks. This was a very stressful time and the home's care team were very helpful, caring and attentive during this time. They also worked very well with the hospital and GP practice to make sure mum was as comfortable as possible. When my mum passed away the care team were also on hand to support the family at the home. Overall my mum spent two months at Oulton Park and her stay was a happy one. I cant fault the staff and strongly recommend this home."
