I have seen my friend grow in confidence and become totally immersed in what is a family community. This is down to the amazing staff who are beyond caring. There seems to be so much thought given to a full programme of activities. The kitchen staff provide such a varied menu and as in all other areas, nothing seems too much trouble. I am in total admiration of all the staff - such a tough job.

The Oaks residential home staff work really hard in keeping the home lovely and look after the residents so well. They can't do enough for the residents and families. Thank you for looking after our mum and supporting us in the transition of mum going into residential care, which is a very sad and difficult time. I knew the moment I walked into The Oaks, it was perfect.

It's wonderful to hear that you felt that 'perfect' connection from your very first visit. We will be sure to share your gratitude with the whole team-they work so hard to ensure our residents and their families feel held and supported.
Overall a good experience the staff are very good with my mother and she loves the entertainment. The only negatives is her clothes get mixed up with other residents and she doesn't like the majority of the meals but doesn't want to ask for something else in case it causes trouble.

It's wonderful to hear your mother loves the staff and activities, but it saddens us to hear she doesn't feel comfortable asking for different meal options. At The Oaks, we strive to be a true 'home,' and that means having food you love!We will have a gentle chat with her to reassure her that she is never 'causing trouble' by making a request. Regarding the laundry, we are looking into this immediately to ensure her items stay in her room. Thank you for helping us look after her better.
We found it very friendly and homely.

Everything has always been run very smoothly as far as I have been able to see over the past difficult months with the Covid restrictions in place. I am kept up to date with everything by email and telephone. All staff have always been friendly and attentive. My mother appears to be very happy at The Oaks and is very well cared for. The new visiting procedures with all the restrictions are very well organised.
Thank you for your kind words, Donna. We are pleased you are happy with your mum's care and look forward to being able to return to some normality.
Mum has now lived at The Oaks for nearly two years and in all that time but particularly in the last year I have been so impressed with the care and support she has received from all the team. Communication throughout the pandemic has been excellent.

October has been another busy, worrying and stressful time for all the staff at The Oaks; as if they haven't done enough this year. As ever, they do everything they can to keep the residents safe, something they have been hugely successful at this year. Without their commitment - not taking foreign holidays, complying with all the regulations in the wider community as well as the home, laundering their uniforms at the end of every shift, and putting their residents front and centre of all they do. Their reward - and heaven knows they deserve one - is that there have been no cases of infection amongst the residents nor, as of the most recent update, amongst the staff. And despite how tired and stressed they all must be, they keep a fine sense of humour and are great morale booster. And of course, they have to do all the things they would normally do for the residents (and doubtless their own families) as well. These are heroines and I thank them most warmly.
Thank you so much for taking the time to give us a review, we really appreciate it. Your words are so kind, I will be sure to pass them onto the staff. We look forward to being able to welcome you all back as soon as we can.
