There are 1,799 homes in the North West with the top 20 receiving an award from the UK’s leading reviews guide to care homes, carehome.co.uk.
The award is based on reviews of the care home written by their residents, as well as their friends and relatives.
There are nearly 17,000 care homes in the UK caring for around half a million people. Over 12,000 of these care homes support older people aged 65 and over, while the rest care for people with learning disabilities and mental health issues.
People are living longer, and with 19 per cent of the total population in the UK aged 65 years or older, equating to 11 million people, demand for care homes is set to grow.
Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of carehome.co.uk, said:
“We now have over 260,000 reviews of care homes on carehome.co.uk so we are able to give people a real insight into what a care home and its care staff are like. Our reviews reveal if the care home is value for money as well as the standard of its facilities and the quality of their care, activities and nutrition.
“Reviews of Oakfield Croft show they provide an excellent standard of care and we would like to congratulate them on being a Top 20 care home in the North West. It is such an achievement to be named a top-rated care home by the residents who actually receive the care as well as their family and friends.
“Choosing a care home can be emotionally and physically exhausting for both the person going to live there as well as their family, so we hope our awards which are given to the highest rated homes will help make the search easier.”
A spokesperson for Care UK, the owners of Oakfield Croft, said:
“Our care homes provide an impressive range of services for older people, ranging from short-stay respite care to nursing care, end-of-life care, plus specialist care and support for people living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
“We are proud to be building so many modern, luxurious and comfortable new care homes - we have opened 54 new homes since 2013 and expect to open at least 13 more before the end of 2025 in locations including Thame, Shrewsbury and Cardiff.”
