Dad moved into Oakdene Rest Home earlier in the year and enjoyed his time immensely. The staff are second to none, always happy and/or smiling and willing to dance when dad wanted to, he loved that. The food was plentiful, good and enjoyable. Events at the home were fantastic.

My mother-in-law was a resident at Oakdene Rest Home for 3 years during which she treated with care, support, dignity and good humour. I never saw any residents treated with anything less. I did have some concerns about personal care under previous management, which I raised with the manager when the response was unsatisfactory I raised the issues with the owner. The current (new) manager has vastly improved the morale of both staff and residents.
In the last few days of her life, my mother-in-law was nursed with genuine affection by the staff. My only concern has been with laundry. Clothes are washed and dried too hot and colours obviously mixed.
We found the home absolutely brilliant. The standard of care and the home itself were great. The staff was very caring and couldn't be faulted.

Mum's health and general wellbeing have improved enormously since being at Oakdene. I can't thank them enough.

My mum has been in the home for nearly 4 yrs. I'm happy that my mum loved it as soon as she went in. She's not happy when you want to take her anywhere. My mum has a lovely room which she can get to when she wants. If she wants to stay in her room she can. She does like to join the other residents in the lounge, sometimes she joins in with the activities she enjoys that, especially when I visit and join in with them. They all end up laughing or clapping each other. The home is very clean and mum enjoys the food. The staff can't be faulted they are brilliant in their care.
Friendly staff, good food, good facilities, very clean. Would recommend.

I have found the care of my father to be wonderful. He is definitely treated as a person. He has shown to us that he is very happy at the home, even though his dementia prevents him from verbalising his feelings staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

My mother has been there for over four years, she is probably the longest resident there now, she is a real character and probably not the easiest resident to care for, she say what she thinks, and certainty staff at Oakdene know just how to handle her, I appreciate that.
There have been many times my wife has had to speak to the management, with complaints, on their part but never complained about the care staff, that is the reason my mother remains at Oakdene, as she is self-funding we could easily move her on.
My wife visits regularly to the home, she has had many issues over the last two years, with health and hygiene regarding my mother.
