We had our mum/friend have a three weeks respite care. She was looked after wonderfully by all staff there. They helped her use her walker, which she woudn't use at home. You can have lunch with them there, which I enjoyed on 2 occasions. It was lovely that the staff helped and were there to say goodbye and waved her off.
Our Mum had been a resident here for three and a half years. Unfortunately she passed way last weekend in the home. The team of carers on duty at the weekend were amazing, they showed care, compassion and authentic empathy. We couldn't have asked for more from them, it was very emotional & the care...
We asked for our Mums clothes to be donated to charity or given to other residents, but these were apparently thrown away despite many of them being new.

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. The whole Oaklands team extends their condolences on the passing of your mother. We are deeply sorry for your loss and understand this is a difficult time for you and your family. We appreciate your kind comments about the care, compassion and dignity shown by our care team; this has been shared with the staff involved; we know it means a great deal to them. We are sorry you are disappointed with the communication following the loss of your mother. The home manager did try to contact you by telephone which went straight to voicemail; she regrets she was unable to speak with you at the time and how this has added to your distress. The home manager was not aware of your sister’s visit to the home and therefore the opportunity to speak with her was missed, and we apologise for the unintended upset caused. In line with our policy, we are not permitted to keep residents’ personal clothing in the home. This should have been explained at the time, and we regret this caused further distress. We value the relationship shared with your mother and family and are saddened this experience has caused upset. We will use your feedback to reflect on how we communicate with families at such sensitive times. Once again, please accept our heartfelt condolences.

A very good home.
My sister has been at Oaklands since May 2024. I can honestly say what a wonderful, beautiful Oaklands place is. The staff are just amazing, always have time to chat.

I have been visiting now since January and I am pleased to say after meeting the new manager I feel much more content. I find her very approachable, empathetic, understanding and warm. It automatically gives a sense of peace and comfort in that my father is in good care. The manager is efficient and I find that she listens and observes and follows through with any concerns. I have also seen a change in staff and how information sharing appears to be working better.
Not sure about activities, I've never seen any one doing anything with the residents, items go missing from room often.

My mum has been a resident of Oaklands Care Home for just over a year and I am delighted with all aspects of the care she is receiving. She is well cared for, clean and tidy (which has always been important to my Mum) and safe - all of which are important to me as her daughter. The staff are amazing, very kind, caring, open, honest and, in my eyes, absolute angels. As a family, the staff are very friendly, and accommodating and always welcome us to stay for lunch with my Mum, which my Dad often does. As my Mum's dementia has progressed, her needs have got greater but they continue to treat her with the dignity and respect she deserves. Management are approachable and always willing to discuss my Mum's care needs or any concerns that either of us may have. I am always kept up to date on my Mum's care, which I truly appreciate. Thank you to everyone at Oaklands for looking after my Mum.

During this month of November, we have had two events at the home to celebrate. A raffle to welcome our new manager. To honour Armistice Day. Both events were outstanding in the amount of effort put in by the activities team and kitchen staff. All of the staff and carers work extremely hard and as a team and it shows. Congratulations new management. I am sure we'll hope it continues.

Made to feel welcome and at home even as a visitor. Offered tea, coffee and food when visiting.
Special appreciation to two members of staff in particular. 5* to them both for their care and treatment of my father and us. Frustrating getting only a day's notice regarding taking Dad to appointments, unable to arrange time off work at such short notice.

Mum became a resident at Oaklands on the 31st of January 2024 after much heart searching that at 102 and struggling to keep her safe and cared for in her own home we visited Oaklands and from that first visit knew this was the home for Mum. She was reluctant as we were at first but from the day she arrived Mum's life changed for the better. She was greeted by the most amazing group of caring staff from the Manager to everyone who works there nothing was too much trouble and Mum was cared for in every aspect of her needs as we her family were they recognised that families need help adjusting to a new family routine. Mum had a beautiful room which we were encouraged to make her own with her own possessions. Mum fell into the routine very quickly and was enjoying every aspect of the home she especially was enjoying her meals which always looked delicious. Mum sadly died in hospital in May but her 3 months in Oaklands were the best in a long time and for that, we will be forever grateful.
Mum has only been here for 12 days but all that we have experienced during that time has been very positive. We have no concerns at all. Very pleased!
