Yoakley House

Activities varied. Nice gardens to relax in - weather permitting it was.

Home from home. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with genuine smiles and friendly faces from all the staff. Yoakley has truly changed my Mum's life in such a positive way. Care staff are wonderful and always kind, caring and very sensitive to Mum's needs. Beautiful gardens to walk in and always lots of varied activities available, including a recent day out at an animal park which Mum absolutely loved. The management team are extremely professional and knowledgeable and always deal with any questions we have efficiently and promptly. Outstanding care home which I wholeheartedly would recommend.

A warm and welcoming environment with caring staff. Beautiful gardens to relax in. Plenty of activities on offer and huge efforts made by everyone to make special seasonal events, Easter bonnet, summer fair, Christmas, Royal occasions, remembrance. Musical entertainment weekly, church services, involvement with school children and visits from animal handling workshops. Even a grand summer outing with wheelchair transport.

My Mum's care is outstanding. The carers are amazing, so kind and patient with her and all the residents. She enjoys a good variety of home cooked meals. Mum is very happy in Yoakley residential home.

My only criticism....The Gardens look amazing and it makes me sad to see mine.

My Mum has been a resident at Yoakley House for the past 15 months and she is very happy living there; all the staff are very friendly and we feel she is very well looked after. Most week days they have a variety of activities to join in with and at this time of year they can sit out and enjoy the beautiful gardens.

My mum has been a resident in this care home for several years and the care she receives is excellent. The staff are very caring and go above and beyond to make sure the resident is happy and their needs are being met. They offer a range of activities for the resident to participate in should they wish to be involved. The home and the gardens are of a very high standard. The rooms may be a little small but they have a lovely conservatory where residents can engage with one another, partake in activities or just sit quietly. The staff are friendly and helpful should you require their assistance or have any concerns. They always make visitors feel welcome and you can also take your dog when visiting which the residents like. All in all an exceptional care home at a reasonable price.

My mother spent nearly five years in Yoakley House Care Home. This home is fantastic. It has a lovely ethos as it is charitably run and this ethos runs through the whole organisation. They manage to deliver exceptional care at an astonishingly reasonable price by today's standards. The staff are all lovely - they become almost friends with the residents and they were genuinely sad to see my mother leave. Also remarkable for the care sector these days, a good proportion of the staff have been working there many years. This is a very good sign as they clearly love working there. The building itself, although it was built in the 80s, is very spacious and light. There are a couple of things that more modern homes might have, such as larger en-suite bathrooms, but this doesn't ultimately matter. The gardens are utterly astonishing - like an Oxford College - beautifully maintained by exceptional gardeners to an incredibly high standard. The managerial team are excellent and very responsive.

My dad stayed for 2 weeks respite at Yoakley House, as it was the first time he was away from our mum in 61years of marriage we didn't know what to expect. He was looked after and cared for so well and the staff were so kind and helpful and he was very comfortable there. We would recommend Yoakley to anyone, and as dad has to go back for another couple of weeks due to mum having another operation we have no worries about him going again.
