My experience is always exceptional when I visit Oakland's. The staff are like my family and they are dad's family. I love how the staff especially senior management have remained the same since dad moved in. Dad seems so happy! He does not seem worried about how often I visit!

We love seeing you visit and the way it brightens up your dad's day. The consistency at Senior level is a testament to the support we have from the whole team, we could not continue in our role without everyone around us. Thanks again, I will share with the team
I have nothing but praise for Oaklands - the care they provide, the environment, the activities & the staff are all excellent. When visiting my mother in law we are always warmly welcomed & mother in law is very settled & happy in this wonderful environment that she calls 'home'.

We are so pleased mum has settled well, and that the transition was smooth for mum and yourself. We pride ourselves on maintaining good communication with all all families at all times, whether that is emails, phone calls or regular catch up's in person.
A lovely friendly rest home. We are always made to feel very welcome. There's always lots of staff who are lovely and remember me from my last visit. I can't comment on managment or rooms as I don't know value for money I don't know as my cousin deals with this.

Thank you so much for your kind words, this really means a lot and I will pass this all onto the team.We couldn't agree more with how hard it can be putting a loved one in care, which is why we work so hard to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible. Not only for your loved ones, but also for you as a family too, to know they're safe, well cared for, and happy.
Thank you Oaklands

Many thanks for such kind words. Your comment echoes our Core Values, demonstrating that they are at the heart of everything we do. We are extremely touched that you feel part of the 'Oaklands Family', a sentiment I will proudly share with the team. With regards to the areas in which we did not achieve 5 stars, I would be more than happy to discuss with you and explore how we can improve. Your feedback, as always, is greatly appreciated so we can forge ahead in ensuring the service we provide is of the highest standard.
Thank you all.
Thank you all.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I will share this with the team who strive to provide the very best. It was our pleasure looking after Mum, and getting her back to full strength to return home. We are so glad she enjoyed her stay with us and hopefully changed her view on Care Homes.

Oaklands Rest Home is a very warm friendly welcoming home. It is always such a pleasure to visit my friend who has been cared for at Oaklands for two years. The staff are wonderful and all the residents are so content and well looked after.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review, it is so nice to be able to welcome such a good friend of this lovely lady. Your words have affirmed that all our hard work, love and care has a positive effect on our residents. Looking forward to seeing you on your next visit.
This is a really lovely rest home and we are so pleased we found it. My mum absolutely loves living here after some initial misgivings (before she went). The staff make all the difference and could not be nicer.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We understand moving into a care home is a big step, and takes time to adjust. Not only for the individual but the family as well. So we work hard to make sure each step is person-centred and at their pace. Mum has settled in so well here and is much loved by all.
A lovely home that has a wide range of activities for the residents. Staff are always very helpful and keep me informed of my Aunt's well-being. All residents are treated as individuals and their needs considered.

Thank you so much for such a positive review. It is an absolute pleasure to have your aunt as part of the Oaklands Family. The activity team are working very hard to ensure that activities are as varied and individual as the residents we care for, and I will be extremely happy to pass on your comments to them

It was a difficult decision to place Mum in a rest home but we are glad we chose Oaklands. The staff are always very warm and welcoming whenever I visit and they are very patient and attentive with Mum. There are loads of activities to do and they do something different every day to keep the residents entertained. Mum has settled in well and has built great relationships with most of the staff. My only negative comment would be that some of Mum's clothing has gone missing while being washed although they are all correctly labelled and Mum often has items of clothing in her wardrobe which aren't hers. Overall we are really happy with Oaklands and would recommend the home to anyone.
Thank you so much for your amazing review. We take on board your comments regarding Mum's clothing and the laundry process.

We are so happy that we chose Oaklands, they have gone out of their way to support both my mum and us as a family and it is such a relief knowing she is in safe hands and we don't need to worry about her getting the care she needs.

Thank you for your kind words we endeavour to make our home and the families part of our family and we strive to be warm and welcoming. Our chef is a true reflection of our core values making sure all the residents' wants and needs are catered for. The carers make sure every day is a good day no matter the obstacles they may have to overcome. Activities are a huge part of our day we like nothing more than a party or a game to while away the hours keeping smiles on everyone's faces. Mum's happiness is our priority, and we will continue to do our best to ensure she is always happy. I will pass your incredible words on to all of our team, once again thank you.
We were worried when Mum had to move into a care home but Oaklands has exceeded our expectations in every way. Mum hasn't been this happy in many years and we feel so much better knowing the staff take care of her every need. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Hi Nick, thank you so much for your kind words, we are thrilled we have exceeded your expectations, and will aim to continue to do so. We are so pleased mum has settled so well into our home, and is happy and enjoying her life with us.
The staff are very caring and attentive. They all display a happy demeanour in their work which generates a family-like atmosphere in the home.

He is well-loved by our residents and always takes their opinions into account when carrying out his work and spends time helping new residents settle in, to make sure Oaklands always feels like home.
In his spare time, Dave recently walked seven marathons in seven days, raising lots of money to support a mental health charity. It just goes to show what a caring person he is, inside and outside of work!
