My godmother fell and shattered her shoulder. As she lives alone, she needed care and rehab to get her back on her feet. The staff have been friendly and kind, and nothing is too much trouble for them. They have been assisting her by doing her personal care in a respectful manner. They have been helping
her to keep mobile by taking her for walks down the corridor. The room is quite small but ok. The meals are generally ok, but not like home cooked food. She has been well cared for, and I can see her getting brighter and stronger. To need someone to care for her, this place has been amazing.
Reply from Melanie Tucknott, Registered Manager at Oakdale Care HomeThank u so very much for your kind words, at Oakdale we strive for a real family feel and are happy to receive your review of our home

It was a refuge when needed. I live alone and fell and shattered my right shoulder in 4 places and also broke my wrist. I've been unable to look after myself and have come in for respite and rehab. The care has been good and staff have been kind & considerate. They are helping me to keep mobile with
the intention of getting home again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Oakdale was recommended to me for daycare by a work colleague whose mother is a resident.
I cannot fault the staff how they are with the residents and how accommodating the management are in people attending. Oakdale have been a god send to me as I work full time and was unable to leave my mum along
during the day. It was never too much trouble to ask at late notice. They always accommodated a space for mum.
Not only are all the staff lovely and kind to the residents they all seem happy amongst themselves and in their job which creates a really good feeling in the home.


I recommend Oakdale more than 100% and wholeheartedly thank them for being so amazing, kind and genuinely caring.

Reply from Melanie Tucknott, Registered Manager at Oakdale Care HomeThank you so very much Lesley for your kind words, we wish you and mum all the very best in the future our door is always open if you need us in the future Mel xx

In my opinion Oakdale has got to be the best care home around, everyone is so caring for the residents it's unbelievable. I have never seen any wrong doing in all the time I've been visiting, everyone is so kind and if and when the time comes, I would love to go there.
First class care home and first
class people.

My Mum was sadly not at Oakdale for long as she passed away. However the staff at Oakdale were amazing looking after her to the very end. Their kindness and dedication cannot be equalled. We were always made to feel welcome and knew that as we went home Mum would be well looked after.

I recently went to a garden fete at Oakdale, and it was great. So well organised, residents and visitors were really looked after. There was a delicious BBQ, all the drinks you wanted. Entertainment, raffles, lucky dip etc., was all good fun. The staff worked so hard - nothing too much trouble, they
were on hand to care for all residents - and visitors! Well organised, well done!

My mum always looks happy and well cared for, and the staff are friendly, caring and well trained. Mum settled in really quickly, enjoys all the varied activities on offer, and she never asks to go home. The staff also know my dad and family well from our visits, and they include us in decision-making
and always make us feel part of the Oakdale family.

My mum is well looked after at Oakdale. It is such a relief to know that she is safe. The staff are caring fully competent.
They know how to deal with my mum when she is upset.
Would recommend Oakdale to anyone looking for a care home for an elderly person with dementia.

Mum has been at Oakdale for just over a year. Initially didn't like it. However has now settled and often tells us that she likes living in Oakdale. This is a credit to staff who have made mum felt cared for and supported. Has a good rapport with staff and is involved in most activities available to
her. As a family we would recommend Oakdale.

Our Dad is currently staying at your facility. He initially came for a two-week respite, which we extended for an additional two weeks, and we are now confident that this will become a permanent arrangement.


From his very first day, we have been incredibly impressed by how friendly and welcoming

all the carers have been. Dad was made to feel like a part of the family, which is especially significant as he is normally quite reserved. Despite our visiting times being varied due to our work schedules, every time we visit, he seems happy and we love seeing him interact with other residents.


This was a difficult decision for us as a family, but we can honestly say that we have definitely made the right choice.

From the moment I did my first visit , it felt right. The staff were especially friendly and great to see how kind they were to the residents. I talked to some residents and family members and they spoke very highly of whats provided.
It was a heart rending decision to make but dad has settled in so
well and his quality of life has improved immensely
His room is lovely. He is well fed (being encouraged to have regular meals , drinks and snacks) which in return has improved his overall health as living at home we had virtually stopped eating.
I feel at ease knowing he is well looked after and he is safe.
Thank you to everyone associated with Oakdale care home.

My mum is currently staying at Oakdale care home on respite. Her stay has been extended due to her general health and I cannot thank the staff enough for their care and kindness for our mum and their flexibility with our situation. Mums accommodation is spotlessly clean along with all communal areas.
There is always a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere with all the residents and visitors. As a visitor I am made to feel welcome any time and to watch the staff with the resident they have a genuine affection and kind, patient attitude to all. I feel totally comfortable and reassured with my mum staying at Oakdale and highly recommend this establishment. Meal times are a joy to see! The food served is tasty, wholesome and plentiful. Oakdale have daily activities for residents, a visiting hairdresser, chiropodist, and GP if required. A sincere thank you to ALL the staff at Oakdale, YOURE WONDERFUL

Mum attends on a weekly basis for day care, she has also stayed at the home for respite. There is such a homely feel around and the residents are very well cared for, they look clean and tidy. Always plenty of food and drink and the staff are so kind towards everyone including families who come to visit.
Well done to all the staff at Oakdale, you are all amazing!!!

Because I live a couple of hours away, I usually get to visit my mother around every two weeks Everytime I see her she always seems happy and content. I usually comment that she appears younger-looking every time I see her. The other occupants always appear to look well looked after also. The staff
are always friendly and helpful.

My Mum has been a resident at Oakdale for the past 5.5 years. When she was taken to the home she was in very poor health but within the first 6 months she was transformed to her old self. This was entirely due to the care, attention and love given to her by the staff at Oakdale. Sadly she passed away
recently but the staff made her very comfortable and made it possible to stay in the home until the end.
I visited several care homes before choosing Oakdale, the deciding factors for me were the fabulous staff, the overall condition of the home and the wonderful grounds around the home. My mum really did think it was her own place and the other residents were her friends and family.
I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff at Oakdale.
Reply from Melanie Tucknott, Registered Manager at Oakdale Care HomeThank you so very much for your comments, Mum was a huge part of our Oakdale family and you all will be sadly missed. I will share this with the team and wish you and your family well.
