Oak Manor Care Home
from Carol T (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

When we began looking into care for our mum, we turned to friends and people in the local area for advice. Oak Manor was mentioned again and again. When speaking to the receptionist and manager, we were made to feel very welcome. Our mum was offered a place in July, and we moved her in. It was a difficult

and worrying time, but the staff made it a lot easier. They made mum very welcome and have taken excellent care of her. No matter what part of the team, you are met with a smile and a word of welcome. It has been a relief for us to know mum is being cared for and beginning to settle in. Thank you.

Reply from Cecilia Adamek, Home Manager at Oak Manor Care HomeWhat a wonderful thing to read. Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting us to have your mum in our care. Our aim is to ensure we are enabling all our resident to live their later life well and to feel safe, loved and cared for in our home. From all of us, welcome to the Oak Manor family.

Review of
Anjulita Court
from Julia C (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother was very unwell and experiencing significant anxiety when she was admitted to Anjulita Court. She has been gently supported to regain her health and confidence and is now very glad to have moved here. She has enjoyed deciding how to organise her room and has been encouraged to join in with

new activities but also helped to continue to pursue her existing interests. All of the staff from every part of the home work together as a team. They know Mum well and know how to encourage her to be as independant as possible. They communicate very effectively with us as a family and involve us in Mum's care. Mum says that she is very content here and becoming "more content every day".

Reply from Ernie Botley, Home Manager at Anjulita CourtThank you so much for your lovely review. We are delighted to hear that your mother is feeling happy and settled at Anjulita Court. It is wonderful to know that our person-centred care approach is truly achieved, as we always aim to make our residents feel comfortable and at home. It has been such a pleasure to see your mother regain strength day by day - her smile returning and her growing independence and involvement in daily activities. My whole team will be pleased to know that their work is truly recognised.

Overall Experience

The care my Aunt is receiving from Oak Manor is of an exceptional standard. All of the staff are so caring and responsive to my Aunts needs. At times her distress of her dementia is upsetting to see but the staff are always supportive both of her but also are very caring towards family. We go away from

the home feeling a huge sense of relief but contentment of knowing that she is receiving the upmost care and attention. Thank you all at Oak Manor, we are all so grateful to all of your lovely staff.

Reply from Cecilia Adamek, Home Manager at Oak Manor Care HomeThank you so much for taking the time to share such kind words about Oak Manor.

from Geoffrey F (Brother of Resident) published on 30 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Having visited Oak Manor some months ago, my sister Margaret moved in on a 3 week trial in early June.
She settled so well that she asked to stay.
Margaret has been very happy at Oak Manor and is eating and sleeping well. The staff from the top down are wonderful, kind and understanding.
Lastly,

the care home is so clean it could be a hotel!

Review of
Oak Manor Care Home
from John P (Son of Resident) published on 18 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

A year ago my elderly mother was in a private flat and unable to cope, due to lack of mobility, severe hearing loss and mental decline. My sister and I visited several care homes in the area, and noticed how much more engaged with residents the staff at Oak Manor seemed compared to the others. That

first impression is reinforced on every visit. The staff all seem to enjoy their work and nothing is too much trouble for them. They are incredibly kind and patient with my mother, who can often be moody and difficult, and always have time to chat with me. Oak Manor is spotlessly clean and very well maintained. Her room is a good size and the ensuite bathroom is always immaculately clean. One of many examples of staff going the extra mile happened on Christmas Day 2024. I'd left it too late to book a restaurant for lunch, so staff carried a dining table and chairs into the room, and served up a 3-course traditional Christmas dinner complete with table decorations! Oak Manor are a class act.

Reply from Cecilia Adamek, Home Manager at Oak Manor Care HomeThank you so much for taking the time to share your kind words about Oak Manor. We are truly delighted to hear how well your mother has settled in and how much you and your family appreciate the support she receives. Our team takes great pride in creating a warm, caring environment where every resident feels valued and respected, so it means a lot to know that this is reflected in your experience. We are especially pleased that our staff's extra efforts, such as making Christmas Day special for your family, have made a lasting impression. Your feedback motivates us to continue going the extra mile for all of our residents and their loved ones. Thank you again for your thoughtful review, it really does mean a lot to our team.

The senior colleagues dealt with the circumstances efficiently and with the utmost empathy.

Overall Experience

From the moment we made contact with Oak Manor to the recent visit, we have been impressed with the professionalism, care and friendliness of the management and care staff. At an extremely difficult time for our family, Oak Manor have supported us and our mother to make the transition from our own home,

to hospital, and now to care home as easy as it could be.

Reply from Cecilia Adamek, Home Manager at Oak Manor Care HomeWe are so pleased we could be of assistance during this difficult period for you and your family.

Overall Experience

Oak Manor is a fresh, clean, bright and airy place. The staff are friendly and fun. We always feel able to approach them and feel that mum is safe and loved. On one occasion our mother suffered a bad turn and was not expected to live, the staff were finishing a 12 hr shift. They all came by at the end

of their shift and waited in line to see her for 15-20 minutes to say hi and possibly bye. It was so touching. It is a lovely place and we feel very lucky to have found it. Our mum is very happy there.

Reply from Cecilia Adamek, Home Manager at Oak Manor Care HomeWe are so pleased to hear that your mum feels safe and loved at Oak Manor.

Overall Experience

Following a fall, which fractured a hip, my mum has been cared for and rehabilitated in conjunction with a physiotherapist, with the utmost care and compassion. She is determined to walk on her own again, and often forgets she has had a hip replacement. Not to single anyone out particularly, but thanks

go to the seniors and staff on Sessile Unit for their unwavering care, even if mum's having a difficult day.

Reply from Cecilia Adamek, Home Manager at Oak Manor Care HomeWe are so pleased that mum is recovering steadily after the fall, and it's wonderful to see her gaining strength and the determination to walk again We are here to do our job with care and compassion, and your kind review means a great deal to the team. They are doing their very best to ensure that our residents remain as independent and safe as possible. There may be challenging days, but please know that your mum is truly loved and cherished for the wonderful person she is. We are committed to ensuring she receives the best care possible.

My dad has been a resident at Oak Manor for almost 6 years now, I cannot express enough how well my dad is looked after, every member of staff are so friendly and always take the time to speak to dad, make him laugh and have banter with him even though he has very limited speech and is very deaf. Nothing

is too much trouble, whenever I visit my dad, I always feel like its home and leave with a warm feeling my heart. This is my dads family, I cannot have asked for any more. Thank you Oak Manor! xxx

from Jo B (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Oak Manor, Shefford is an exemplary Care Home. We cannot speak highly enough about the wonderful manager and her staff.
Sadly Mum wasn't a resident for very long. However, every single member of staff (especially the carers but also all the other staff) were caring, kind, thoughtful, gentle and compassionate

towards not only our Mum but also myself and my brother. Mum passed away peacefully in a lovely bedroom surrounded by some of her personal belongings and I was able to be at her bedside the whole time.
Oak Manor is maintained with the utmost care and attention. The environment is homely, the food is delicious, the staff appear to enjoy working there and, by their own admission, are like one big happy family. They genuinely 'care' about their residents and want it to feel like 'home'. They engage with the residents and the regular activities enhance their quality of life.
A big thank you to the manager and all her staff. We wouldnt hesitate in recommending Oak Manor.

Reply from Cecilia Adamek, Home Manager at Oak Manor Care HomeWe are truly grateful to have been able to provide the best care possible for your mum and to ensure that her end of life was peaceful and dignified. Our team is truly amazing and they always do their very best for our residents and their families.

I have no words to express my gratitude to everyone who made Vaisakhi so special for mum. A very important Sikh celebration. One staff member collected a special meal from London Sweet Center and even paid for it to treat Mum. Another staff member and others on their shift decorated her room with lights

etc. Mum was overwhelmed. Thank you so much to everyone at Oak Manor. Place my mum calls her home.

from Lesley C (Niece of Resident) published on 27 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I would just like to say how amazing Anjulita Court is. My Auntie is in there and has been in there since the end of December. She has settled really well and is happy. Her room is lovely, the facilities are great, she loves books, there is a library. I was particularly impressed with the research they

did. They wanted to know all about Auntie as a person, not just a client, her likes and dislikes, her past and present, her interests, her achievements etc. She is not just a number on a door, she's a person.
The staff, what can I say, are professional, highly trained, really efficient, really good at their job but also, incredibly kind, caring, funny, they interact with the clients in a way that goes above and beyond their job description. I and my family would like to say a huge, thank you.

Reply from Ernie Botley, General Manager at Anjulita CourtThank you for your positive comments. I am pleased you feel your Auntie has settled really well and is happy. I will share your comments with the team.
