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.

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.
Thank you for your lovely words, we are so lucky that you both are part of our Family.
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.

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.
Thank you so very much for your kind words, we are a real family, and will always strive for perfection in whatever we do. i will share with the team your comments this means a lot to us.
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.

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.
