Oakdale Care Home

A well run and very friendly home, I recently had the opportunity to arrange for another of my sisters to become a resident at Oakdale and of course I did not hesitate as I knew how she would be very happy there.

When I viewed the home for my sister, I found it clean and everyone was so friendly and kind. It was the home I was looking for. She seems to have settled in well and I have no doubt that she'll be happy there.

My mother has had shingles and has been very unwell. The care within the home has been excellent. The hospital doctor has praised the eye care. Nothing has been too much trouble.

Have had our mother staying here for nearly a month now, she has settled in very well and we have noticed a massive change in her well being and state of general appearance and health, we feel this care home offers extreme levels of care as well as a home from home feel all round. Many thanks to all the staff who I think really care about what they do. Thanks again.

I went to Oakdale as a respite resident after an operation on my toe. The care and attention I received right from the word go was amazing and continued right through my stay. The manager went that extra mile to ensure that I had everything I wanted. The staff are excellent and cannot fo enough for you. They treat the elderly patient mostly with dementia with dignity and respect. The cook and kitchen staff also do a first class job and the food is of a very high standard. Everyone at Oakdale made my stay as enjoyable as possible for which I am very grateful.

My mother has been in Oakdale since January 2016. She has taken time to settle but I expect this is normal. I have been impressed with the care and support she has received from all the staff who work at the home. The manager has involved me in issues all the way so far, always endeavouring to achieve the best solution for my mother who has advanced dementia. I am full of praise for the home.

It is a very friendly home with very caring staff. There always seems to be plenty of staff available.

Oakdale is a very well run home when there have been issues which are rare, they have been resolved very quickly. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a family feel home for their relative, they are all very approachable and willing to help.

Maybe somewhere with proper coffee machine? Though staff always offer to make drinks. Designated hair salon would be of use.

We feel she is being cared for very well and problems/concerns have been dealt with quickly and efficiently. The manager runs a tight ship. We are always made to feel welcome there. The staff are very friendly and approachable.

Small, intimate care home. Friendly staff. Excellent management, making visitors very welcome. Always ask visitors if they want a tea of coffee. They look after my mother very well and very attendant to her needs. They have various activities during the week involving all applicable residents. I am very pleased that my mother has the best of care.

When I visit there is always welcoming smiles and a cup of tea. Everything and everyone is clean/well dressed/sweet smelling. Staff are always cheerful, accommodating, attentive to patients and visitors while allowing each one space to be themselves. They work well as a team and are very kind and professional when a client is anxious or distressed. Staff are very hard working and loyal to Oakdale Residential Home, I see the same faces as when I visited years ago. The décor is upbeat but restful (a difficult balance). The atmosphere is lively and alert (because of the friendly/lively staff) even though clients are in decline, need rest, or sleep a lot.

Oakdale is a caring home treating it's resident's with kindness and dignity. I cannot recommend the home enough, the staff and management are excellent and provide an excellent range of activities and events to benefit the residents.
