Our friend has been a resident at Oakdene for a year and 4 months now and we couldn’t be happier with the consistent level of excellent care that she receives. All the staff are amazing and go above and beyond to make the residents feel safe, loved and comfortable creating a happy and loving home atmosphere. We are so grateful to all the staff for everything that they all do for our friend and they give us great comfort knowing she is being well cared for. I would highly recommend this care home to anyone who is considering it.
Thank you for such kind words. Much love, the manager and team.
Cleanliness is excellent!

Thank you, Gordon, for your wonderful comments. I will pass your review on to the staff.
I have been visiting my sister since November 2022. She is happy and well looked after. The home is warm and comfortable and I am happy that she is there. All her needs are catered for.

The families are involved with social events, with wonderful food laid on.

I am always struck by the friendliness and positive attitude of the staff. I visit twice a week. There is constant excellence in everything the staff do, from personal care, group activities and general awareness of the needs of the individuals. There is a general sense of calmness and a very high standard of excellence, and individuals have the freedom to move at their own pace around the building and are not restricted apart from obvious security.
Thank you so much for your kind words; this means a lot to me and the staff.

My son works in a care home and I have been a visitor to three care homes but none of them come even close to Oakdene Rest Home where my wife is staying. When you visit Oakdene, you can see and feel the love, the dedication and see the joy in their faces when they are caring for someone and I have so much respect and admiration for every one of them, even the way the cleaners, the cooks, the handyman all get stuck in, it's a joy to see. It's a place I wouldn't mind ending up myself.
Thank you so much for your kind words. This means a lot to the staff when we have reviews like this.
It’s early days, but we’re very happy with the care Nan has received to date. The staff genuinely seem to really care and build relationships with their residents, and despite being extremely busy, are helpful and friendly to family and friends when visiting. I love the updates on the FaceBook...
Thank you.
Thank you for such kind words. We really do appreciate all the positive feedback. Thank you again.

Communication with relatives is excellent; I can ring any time, and I am kept informed of Dad's condition. The family are included in the care.
Daily activities are tailored to the individual. Musicians and singers come in from time to time.
There is no regime if a resident wants a day in bed or in their pyjamas, then that’s what they have as if they were in their own home.
The care given is second to none. The home is decorated like their own house. Pictures and decorations are what you would expect from their era.
During the recent pandemic, the staff went above and beyond.
I would not hesitate to recommend anybody to this wonderful home, and its truly hard-working, caring management and staff.
Thank you for your kind words. It is a privilege to care for your Dad.

My mother-in-law has been at Oakdene for respite care for just over a week. The care and loving nature of this residence is clear. From the visit, we have had and the updates we can see, it is clear she is happy and safe in her new home. The carers we spoke to were professional and accommodating to us during our visit. Her room is clean and decorated nicely. The facilities and activities laid on mean that the residents are kept occupied and engaged. A lovely place.
Thank you for your kind words. We look forward to continuing to care for your mum-in-law.
My nan is staying at Oakdene for respite, and we are so impressed by it. As soon as you walk in, it feels like a home, not a care home, which is lovely.

My nan is staying at Oakdene for respite, and we are so impressed by it. As soon as you walk in, it feels like a home, not a care home, which is lovely. My nan is incredibly happy and very well looked after. All staff are so patient and kind with her, and we couldn’t ask for a better place for her to be. Their social media page for families is absolutely brilliant and always updated, and we can see exactly how Nan is getting on daily.
Thank you for such lovely words. We hope that everyone settles here and the staff are amazing!
I couldn’t wish for my mother-in-law to be better cared for.
I’ve not seen my mother-in-law so happy with her advanced dementia.
She is well cared for 24/7.
Thank you to all the staff at Oakdene; you are all so caring and dedicated to your job!

Very friendly, cheerful and patient staff. A lovely home which feels like a home rather than a care home. Great choice of food and a clean, comfortable room.

From a very run down and low existence of life, I have been invigorated by the rest home from day one of acceptance to a now very much improved and contented being. Thanks to the wonderful people, care and attention. Thank you all sincerely.

They are transparent, honest, and, most of all, the best team I have ever come across.
They know how to care for the residents and their family's rooms.
A huge thank you to you all.

They cared for her in her final days when I was unable to visit due to Covid. My son, a doctor, was able to visit and said the standard of care given was equal to anything he had seen on the intensive care wards.
We have nothing but praise for Oakdene.
Thank you, Mum will sadly be missed here at Oakdene.

My late father was in the wonderful care of Oakdene during the last year of his life. As his health deteriorated, the staff cared for him with dignity, respect and compassion. I cannot thank them enough for all they did for him and for all the support they gave us as a family during such a difficult time. We stay in regular contact with the team at Oakdene because they became part of our family.
Thank you so much for your kind words and the support you have given us.
