My dad was given exceptional care by a team of kind, generous and gentle men. Instrumental in getting him back on his feet after an operation and some medical setbacks.
They attended to his intimate needs with dignity and care and helped him with his medication and with his food preparation, encouraging
him to be more independent as the weeks went by. Dad also enjoyed hearing about his carers and their home countries and traditions making the early recovery days more enjoyable, they kept him company! Thank you so much to everyone who helped him.

Reply from Fadila Sule, Registered Manager at Oaktree Homecare Services

Dear Julie, thank you very much for taking the time to recognise the hard work the carers do. We appreciate the feedback and we will definitely let the carers know. We are pleased to hear Dad is back to his baseline and living independently in his own home. We promote independence and ensure people remain as independent as they possibly can in the comfort of their own homes. Thank you once again. Kind regards.

I am happy with the care I get but sometimes the carers are late. I would be happy if my carers could always come on time.

I am satisfied with the care received by my mother who is also pleased that she has Gujarati-speaking ladies attending to her. Most of the carers have been very good and understand their duties. A couple however, needed reminding that they were there to care and should not be rude.


Oaktree however,

have on numerous occasions, changed the times of visits without any notification and that is very inconvenient, especially when the carers appear well before the agreed times. Also Oaktree should allow carers the correct amount of travel time as carers are always in a rush to move on to the next client.

On the whole fairly reasonable. I have had several carers over the years, ranging from inept to excellent. Two in particular stand out but both, alas, have now left Oaktree.

I am very happy with my carer except for one of them who does not seem to be able to do anything. I am very happy with one carer in particular, especially in doing my shopping, he gets everything as listed and does what needs to be done without having to be asked.

I am extremely disappointed with the level of care provided by Oaktree Care Services. Despite assurances of professionalism and care, my experience with them has been anything but. My mother was neglected, with basic care plans not being followed, including medication checks and proper feeding. Additionally,
her hygiene was left in a poor state. Despite repeated requests for improvement, the situation did not change. I even managed to increase the care duration per their advice, hoping for better attention, only to find caregivers preoccupied with their phones. Avoid Oaktree Care at all costs if you value proper care and support for your loved ones.

I am surprised and disappointed to read such a review. We started providing care for your mum on 14/08/2023. We have provided the same 2 French speaking carers for over 6 months. Your mum receives 1 visit a day Monday to Friday for 30mins to feed her and prompt her to brush her teeth. The POC was later increased to an hour as you felt the carer was rushing your mum when she is eating. You went away for 1 week holiday, on your return, you did not raise any complaint to us but decided to cancel the care and reported to Barnet Safeguarding team. The carer that was with your mum for 1 week was also with her when you went on holiday previous. You have not complained to us about any issues but cancelled the care without any explanation. You have refused to pick our calls to discuss what has gone wrong or allow us access to collect out folder. I feel its fair to speak to the organisation about your concerns not post a malicious review.

Dad has had carers since the beginning of the year.
The service is second to none and my dad is happy and well cared for.
He has built up a wonderful relationship with the career and trusts him totally
as we do.
Would recommend them for the care and wellbeing.

On the first day that I was ill this week, one lady looked after me like a professional nurse; she knew exactly how to move me on the bed and care for me with confidence and reassurance. She understands the needs of a person in my weak position, and unlike some carers, understands what I ask her to
do and also uses her initiative. From the very beginning of her care for me, she has been respectful and conscious of my dignity, despite what was needed.

I have had the same carer for quite a while. She has been marvellous - no job is too much for her. My carer is kind, generous and hard-working. My carer also has sympathy and understanding of my needs.

I see that the service you are providing is very good. The carers need to be more on time in the evening, but I don't mind during the day.

I have not been with the agency long. So far, I am happy with the care and service I am receiving from Oaktree Homecare Services. The carers are good and treat me with respect. They are late sometimes, but so far, so good.

Reply from Fadila Sule, Registered Manager at Oaktree Homecare Services

Dear Marklene, thank you for your review. Pleased to hear you are happy with the service. We will work on the lateness, but ever so often, due to transport issues, the carers might be late.
Thank you.

The carers are always punctual. They take time to greet everyone in the household. They inquire about my husband and are very attentive. I know that I can sleep soundly in the knowledge that my husband is being well taken care of. I don't have any criticism of the carers; I found them all to be caring,
kind and professional. Well done!

Dear Heather, thank you very much for your review. We will pass your compliments on to the carers.

The service is ok, providing I still continue to have my same carer.

Thank you for all your help. It was very much appreciated all the help you gave me. I am recovering well now and able to talk and go to work. The carer was excellent and helped me a lot.

Very satisfied with the service. The only problem is the timing of visits which we understand is difficult to manage due to delays from public transport and delays at the previous client (s).

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
