I have found the staff are well motivated and doing a very good job under what can be difficult circumstances as some residents can be very demanding.Staff appear well informed generally and at no time in the last 2.5 years have I needed to make any complaints.
House keeping is excellent and the restaurant provides a good variety of appetising food.

My father has told me that he feels safe, enjoys the food very much and that he is treated well by all the staff.
it has taken a big weight off my mind.

She already knew many of the staff and had enjoyed good friendships and positive relationships with many staff members, across all responsibilities, for many years before.
This helped her to settle in very quickly, at what is always a very difficult time of transition.
We are thankful to have the very professional and caring team at Five Oaks to take good care of our mother.
Up to the standard, we expect after several uses of Five Oaks for respite care. Happy to recommend Five Oaks.

I am a dedicated and compassionate care professional with 16 years of experience in the health and social care sector. I began my career as a care assistant and, through commitment and continuous development, progressed to the position of Deputy Manager. I am currently completing my Level 5 qualification in Health and Social Care.
My greatest passion is caring for older people, particularly those living with dementia. I am committed to making a meaningful difference in their lives by ensuring they feel valued, respected and supported to live as fully and independently as possible.
I also understand the importance of supporting families throughout every stage of their loved one’s care, including end-of-life care. I firmly believe that everyone deserves a dignified and compassionate ending, with their individual wishes, choices and beliefs respected.
I am a strong advocate for teamwork and believe in leading by example. I am also qualified as a Moving and Handling Train-the-Trainer and have training in fire safety. My approach is centred on compassion, dignity, safety and delivering the highest possible standard of person-centred care.
