Set within the coastal village of Felpham, near Bognor Regis, Oakland Court faces south towards the sailing club and promenade – the sea itself only a short walk away. Around it sits a secluded, cottage-style garden, with seating tucked into a sheltered courtyard and a quiet patio beyond.
Oakland Court occupies a purpose-converted building, adapted specifically to support high-quality residential care for older people. Every space was redesigned with a single standard in mind: would this be good enough for any loved one? That measure applies throughout the home.
Residents move freely between comfortable lounges and dining areas, choosing from home-cooked meals prepared fresh each day. The landscaped gardens and patio areas are maintained year-round, and an activity programme runs every week – shaped around what residents actually want to do.
Personal care packages are built around individual need, delivered by trained Care Practitioners available day and night. The team works closely with the local GP practice and pharmacy, so clinical oversight sits alongside day-to-day care rather than apart from it. Nobi's ceiling-mounted smart lamps support fall prevention throughout the building too, giving families reassurance alongside the care they see for themselves.
Staffing levels flex with resident need, because personalised care changes – sometimes week to week, sometimes day to day. Continuous investment in training reflects the pride the team takes in the standard of care residents and families deserve.

Mum came to Oaklands from the hospital at the beginning of March. The plan was for a couple of months of respite care to build up her strength and mobility. Not only did both of these improve, but we also saw an improvement in her mental health and by the beginning of April, she decided to become a permanent resident. The care is second to none, the food is wonderful, and the home has a lovely atmosphere. A mixed and varied set of activities keeps the residents engaged. Above all, the staff are welcoming, friendly and attentive.
Thank you for your lovely review; we are pleased that Mum has decided to make Oakland Court her home.
Such caring people. All the staff are considerate and caring to all. They treat all with individuality, empathy and dignity. Love to visit.

We had a lovely afternoon at the annual Christmas party for residents - Mum has been at Oakland for a number of years so we have attended lots. The staff treat Mum as family and know her likes and dislikes extremely well. The food is always an amazing array you would expect to see in a 5* hotel. Such a variety for all tastes from extremely large prawns, crab and salmon to beef, turkey, ham, quiches, coleslaw salad, hot choices and exceptional desserts. Everyone is so friendly and attentive.
Thank you for your kind review Joyce. We were delighted to be able to hold our Christmas party this year and being able to welcome family and friends. We really enjoyed seeing our residents spending time with their loved ones. We are very proud of the hard work that the team have put in to make the event a success and look forward to many more parties in the future.

Oakland is a really lovely care home The staff are always welcoming and friendly to residents and visitors. The level of care is good and staff know individual residents well. There are many activities on offer and residents are encouraged to mix. Managers and staff are well-trained and interact well between themselves. It was a happy atmosphere. The rooms, lounge and dining room are exceptionally smart and always clean. The gardens are lovely and it's a 5 minute walk from two cafes.
Thank you for taking the time to write us a review, we appreciate your positive comments. We are very lucky to be situated in a beautiful area with easy access to the promenade. We have enjoyed welcoming families back into the home. It is lovely to hear families interacting with each other, along with lots of laughter. Dad is a popular member of our family and has made many new friends.
My only complaint is the poorly equipped bathroom. No cupboard, can't use the shower (no seat) as I can't stand to wash (I am short).

There is always a smiling face and a greeting when the front door is answered or a happy voice at the end of the phone.

Oakland Court has been my father's care home for the last 18 months. It is very clean, tidy and the staff genuinely like their jobs. They are a caring team and my father is very well looked after. His room is clean and tidy. The lounge area is very sociable. My father likes his meals and has company to eat them with at lunch times. It is very welcoming at any time. During the Covid pandemic they were amazing. I would not want him to be anywhere else.
Thank you so much for your taking the time to leave us feedback. We're delighted you feel your father is well looked after. We know just how much your father enjoys socialising at lunch - he is very much part of the family at Oakland Court. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

My 89 year old Mum was extremely poorly with asthma. When she went to Oakland Court her care could not have been better. She blossomed and came home within 2 weeks. We could not have chosen a better home for her respite care. The attention to detail, the cleanliness, respect, the excellent food were outstanding. She feels like she has been on holiday and really misses them all. We cannot thank all the lovely staff enough.
My husband goes to Oakland Court for respite care. He is always greeted warmly by all the staff. He said he feels like one of the family "praise indeed". The food is delicious a varied and interesting diet, he always gets a choice and enjoys his food. The surroundings are very comfortable and...

I feel we chose one of the best homes in the area. The home was nicely decorated, light and very welcoming. The cleanliness was excellent throughout the home. The bedroom was well equipped and homely. The food was of good quality and to my Mothers taste (not over flavoured with herbs and spices)! She enjoyed the various entertainments. Finally, the staff, who without exception, were amazing, nothing was too much trouble, they treated the residents with care and respect and always had a smile and cheery word.
Wonderful caring staff. More than willing to go the extra mile for their residents. Clean well cared for buildings and gardens. Quiet location, level walking to the sea. My mother loves the facility and would not go anywhere else. Really kind and considerate staff across the entire operation....
