Oakdale Care Home

My father has been in Oakdale since December 24 2023. As a family, we are very pleased with the care he has received. We are always welcome when we visit. We know my father is well treated and looked after by all of the staff.

What a great care home. My wife has been in care at Oakdale since the beginning of the year and has been well looked after. The manager and her team are very caring and patient and make my wife feel at home. I go to see my wife every day and they make me welcome. If you are looking for care for a loved one I would certainly recommend Oakdale.

Lovely home. Very caring staff. They went out of their way to make Mum feel welcome and settle in. Will not hesitate to use them again. They were also very welcoming to family. They provided plenty of activities which Mum really enjoyed.

My husband has been at Oakdale since June 2023 and is very happy there. The staff are caring and attentive to his health and other needs. They take the time to build relationships with residents and their families, and the whole atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. The food is good, and the home is very clean. They run activities for residents and encourage as many as possible to participate. I would not hesitate to recommend Oakdale to anyone looking to place a relative in a home.

I posted a review last August praising the care my stepmother received during her first 6 months in Oakdale. Since then her condition has deteriorated and she is now in the later stages of dementia. She is no longer mobile and sleeps much of the time. The care and compassion with which she is treated is amazing. My stepmother is deaf, says very little and no longer recognises me. However, on my last visit in a lucid moment said quite clearly 'they're very good to me here'. It is such a comfort that she is not only looked after so well but is also happy. I cannot thank each member of staff enough.

Would recommend it to anyone looking for help and support with their family or loved ones.

My sister seems to be happy living in Oakdale.

My mum has been a resident for 7 plus years now and been looked after amazingly. She also seems happy, which makes me happy. The staff are very friendly and helpful and keep me informed of Mum's progress.

Lots of families I have spoken to agree with me.

Visiting my mother-in-law is a pleasant experience. The staff are great, they show empathy, the care given is exemplary. Her room is clean with personal effects like photos nicely displayed. My mother-in-law clearly is happy in her situation.

My mother was in Oakdale for ten months. She was in a lovely room full of light and plenty of activities going on around. The atmosphere and homely feeling of Oakdale were just what she needed. She had caring and attentive staff, all with different personalities, which made her day-to-day life interesting. The level of care was excellent. Her room was always clean. Her clothes were always laundered well. She had special food requirements that were always met. She has recently passed away, and I can honestly say my husband and I feel very lucky we found Oakdale and that my mum finished her days in that very warm and safe environment with such caring and lovely people.

Oakdale is a very caring, warm and friendly care home.

Mum has been at Oakdale for two years and eight months, but due to covid and restrictions, it has not been possible to celebrate Christmas with her. Yesterday, as a family we were invited to the residents' Christmas party. A wonderful afternoon of entertainment, fun, Santa and a magnificent buffet spread. Apart from enjoying ourselves with Mum as a family, it was wonderful to meet other residents with their family and friends and to see the interaction and care given by staff to the residents, was brilliant. The gifts given by Santa (staff member) to all the residents were so well thought of and from the faces of the residents, they were greatly touched and appreciated. Many thanks to you all.

I visited my mother-in-law with my daughter and was greeted warmly. All the staff members are very friendly. My mother-in-law was bought into us in her wheelchair and looked well cared for and happy. Overall Oakdale Care Home is an excellent care home. Thank you for everything you do.

Lovely care home. They really love my nan and look after her. Thank you, Oakdale Care Home, for looking after my nan; you are all lovely. My nan's bedroom is beautiful. The staff are always helpful and always come and talk to us and let us know how Nan is.

From the minute my Mum went into Oakdale, the manager and her staff were amazing. It was hard for us to decide whether a care home would be the right option for Mum for respite as she has vascular dementia. What was supposed to be three weeks turned into three months. We cannot thank the staff for looking after Mum so well. Would not hesitate in putting mum there permanently if needed.

Thank you Oakdale.

I have also been allowed to eat with my husband, free of charge and have taken home cooked food and summer picnics.

The excellent, kind, friendly, like a family, professional care that my husband received at Oakdale from 19th July 2021 - 21st September 2021 was gold stars. All staff were always there for us both. Nothing too much trouble to make it so good. Weight off my mind with care. Instant great feel when I first viewed, that stayed until the last breath by husband.

What an amazing home is Oakdale! My mum was a resident there for almost 11-years, and I've always been treated as much a part of the Oakdale family as Mum was. Their personalised care and love for each and every resident is remarkable, and any little concern is always looked into immediately. The whole ethos of the home is to be person-centred, and the staff are keen to work with families to provide as positive an experience as possible for the residents. The home is always clean and sweet-smelling, the residents in clean clothes every day and well-groomed, the staff always smiley and welcoming/encouraging - and the food: not only always beautifully presented on the plate but delicious too!

Like everyone else, I'm sure, I've always been made to feel that Mum was special to Oakdale. And recently, the manageress has gone over and above the call of duty to support me and another family member and to help secure funding for us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
