Care Homes Owned by Abode Care Homes in Essex

We would highly recommend Oakdale.

Excellent help in settling my Brother-in-law and supporting him in the loss of his wife. He had problems at first which were dealt with sympathetically. He now seems very settled and accepting that thus will now be his home! The staff are friendly and helpful as is the Manager Melanie.

Attended the 25 years celebration BBQ Aug 2026 and wanted to say a big thank you for a fabulous well arranged event . The staff and some of their own family members provided great food , entertainment and lots of activities for all age groups. My dad has been a resident for just over a year and our family continue to be impressed with the level of special care , patience and kindness. We visit every week and have got to know staff , other residents and some of their families . It honestly feels liked an extended family .

All the staff are excellent and well trained at what they do for the residents, they show genuine care and respect for each one. They know me by name and treated like one of the family. They keep me updated on my mums welfare, her tablets etc and if she has had a bad day which is few. My mum is settled there. I feel blessed that we chose oakdale.

I have volunteered here for a little over 3 months. I help with activities mainly but will help in other ways if asked to. I find it a warm and friendly home where I feel I am accepted & valued and fit in with the team here. I'm not after a job but somewhere I can come and help when I'm able to and it works for me and the home.

When we visit we are treated as family or old friends by all of the staff, they are very respectful.

It was a very difficult decision putting my mum into care, I had looked after her since Lockdown and could no longer cope as her altzeimers got increasingly worse. With the help of my family we found Oakdale and have been relieved and pleased that she has settled in well and is being well cared for by all the staff. Many thanks to all the team for their professionalism, dedication and wonderful work they all do.

The staff are great very friendly and caring my mum is cared for very well great facilities nice and clean am always updated as to what is going on very happy that I feel my mum is well looked after they have a lot of activities for everyone to join in

Thank you to the entire team for the wonderful work you do every day.

I have found all staff very friendly and attentive to my mum, I put my mum in for rest bite one day a month . My mum has dementia and altzeimers she seems to relax when in the home , at first she was very nervous but now seems to recognise the building.

The best part of Oakdale is that it's a real family. The residents are happy, visitors always welcome and management very helpful and knowledgeable. Oakdale has not only looked after my dad but have helped me through tough times with dad.

We moved Mum here a year ago from another home she had been in for 3 years. We searched and visited many back in 2022 but somehow Oakdale slipped through the net or she would have been here 4 years ago. We cant fault it one jot and would highly recommend it.

All of mum's visitors are always welcomed warmly by the team. I am confident my mum is well cared for and Oakdale seems a happy place

Earlier this year, my brother, sister and I arranged respite care at Oakdale for our mum, Sally. Mum was there for eight weeks and was looked after very well. The food was plentiful and there were indoor and outdoor activities for the residents. The staff are lovely (and some have been there for years, which speaks volumes). Oakdale has a very 'family' feel to it and we were always made to feel very welcome when visiting. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Oakdale to others.

The care home are welcoming, caring, friendly and informative, nothing is too much trouble. From day 1 I felt like I knew them all well as they appear like one 'big family'. Its nice to see the same people consistently. Residents are treated with respect and dignity.

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.

I really recommend Oakdale Care Home. Staff and management are all approachable and caring to relatives as well as being very kind and caring to the residents. Staff have so much patience and genuinely care about the residents. Oakdale have given me peace of mind when leaving my mum there as I know she will be happy and well looked after. Thank you.

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.

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.
