My experience of The Oast so far has been very positive. My Mums care is being handled well and if there are any issues I am contacted straight away. The meals look appetising with a good selection to choose from and her room is kept clean and presentable.

Myself as well as the rest of our family feel very reassured that she is receiving the best care possible by a very dedicated group of care staff. The meals are plentiful as well as varied and there is a wonderful outside area for people to spend time in.
The staff are fantastic and very attentive to my mothers care needs. At The Oast they really do take the proper time to care for people and not just rush. There is a jolly atmosphere with entertainment being arranged and the home is always well presented and clean.

Mum has settled in really well at The Oast. It wasn't an easy transition moving from her house into care but the staff have gone above and beyond to make sure she has settled in well. She's made friends with other residents living at The Oast and her room is spacious and kept very clean.

I couldn't been happier with the support and care my mother has received so far at The Oast. Moving into a care home wasn't an easy move for her, however the support the staff give her has significantly improved her day to day living. The manger's are very supportive and the food is delicious.

My father is very well taken care of at The Oast with the staff being courteous and polite towards him at all times. His room is nicely furnished, well equipped and is always clean and tidy. The outdoor space is greatly enjoyed by my father and there is a variety of activities which takes place.

You never know how a loved one will be once they move into a care home environment, but I must say the staff team at The Oast have made the whole process very smooth. The staff helped arrange Mum's room with her furniture, clothes etc. and the care she has received to date has been brilliant. Her room had been freshly decorated and the cook does a great job in making sure there is something Mum will enjoy eating.

My Mum received exemplary care and understanding from all the staff at The Oast Care Home. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone was friendly and respectful towards her. This resulted in my Mum feeling relaxed and confident enough to join in the activities organised for the residents which were both varied and stimulating. The food was appetising and served with a smile. Cleanliness was given high priority. All of our family were treated with kindness when we visited which was most appreciated. I would thoroughly recommend this well-run, caring home to any potential residents.
