Oakwood Court care home is one of the most homely and friendly around and they welcome people with open arms, like a big family. Their focus is on brighter living, so every day they bring a ray of sunshine to their residents. Their seven day a week sunny moments club provides a variety of one to one and group activities, based on residents hobbies and interests - there's something for everyone.
Oakwood Court provides accommodation for 62 residents, made up of 59 single rooms and one double room. Each room enjoys a pleasant outlook and has its own en-suite facilities. Respite facilities can also be provided for those in need of a short break.
Each resident has an allocated key worker and the staff team receive regular training to make sure they provide the best care and support 24 hours a day - they put residents at the heart of everything they do. New facilities opened in September 2025, including 30 new bedrooms (some with private patios), an activities room, cinema, additional lounge and dining room and a state of the art hair and beauty salon.
The home has a 5* food hygiene certificate and the in-house catering team create delicious, nutritious home-cooked meals, reflecting residents preferences.
Engaging and involving residents is important and the team welcomes ideas, feedback and suggestions from all residents and their families so their service is continuously improved.
The home is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens. The comfortable modern residential care home is in a lovely setting and the neighbouring Oakwood Flats sheltered scheme make this a welcoming community of older people.
The beautiful Beech Hurst Gardens are close by and Haywards Heath town centre is only a short walk or drive away, with a mainline train station and excellent connections to London.

For the 2 years my mother was looked after very well, I think she enjoyed her time here. As a family, we had no problems with her care. She has now sadly passed away.

Oakwood Court has been a wonderful home for my mother. My siblings and I visited Mum several times a week and we were always met with a friendly welcome and offered a cup of tea. I know Mum also appreciated the warm and friendly atmosphere at Oakwood. The food was consistently good and as Mum became frailer and less able to look after herself, there was always help at hand. Medical requirements were also met which was so helpful for us who had been handling Mum's meds for the years leading up to her move to Oakwood. Choosing a care home requires a lot of thought but if I was choosing again with the knowledge I now have, I'd definitely pick Oakwood for a second time.
Thank you for your review and kind words. We're pleased you, your Mum and family felt supported by our caring team and welcomed when you visited, as well as having peace of mind that your Mum's medication requirements were met. Thank you for recommending Oakwood Court.
Visited Mum on Mother's Day. A lovely afternoon tea was laid on for all guests and residents - delicious! Tables were decorated beautifully, and the staff mingling with all. I always feel very welcome when I visit Oakwood. Mum is very, very well cared for. Thank you.

I would highly recommend Oakwood Court Care Home as the care is excellent.
Thank you for your excellent review. We're pleased your wife settled in well and quickly made Oakwood Court her new home. Our team puts residents at the heart of everything they do and we're happy to hear you'd recommend us. Thank you.

I viewed 11 homes for my 90 year-old mother before choosing Oakwood Court and after nearly a year, I know we made the right choice! The home is run by a housing association and the professionalism shows. It is purpose-built so the bedrooms are roomy and have their own bathrooms. The communal areas are homely but dignified, and everything is spotlessly clean. There is a proper kitchen with fresh meals and homemade cakes every day. The hospitality is great, with regular invites to social events and activities. All the staff at every level have been friendly and welcoming and staff turnover seems low. I'm particularly impressed by the healthcare support. The senior carers communicate regularly with me and respond quickly to any changes or concerns. Since moving in Mum has become less anxious, her eating, hydration and mobility have improved, and she is more confident about joining in and trying new things - so all in all I think Oakwood is doing an amazing job!
Thank you for your wonderful review of our service at Oakwood Court, including our catering, management, staff, activities and building. It's great to hear how your Mum's health and wellbeing has improved since living in our home. Thank you for sharing your review.
The home and the carers are all very good and go over and above with their caring. The home has a homely feel, all residents look happy and well cared for. I would recommend this care facility highly.

The staff are so kind and open in communication towards the family. We feel that our parent is in caring and professional hands. We were recommended Oakwood Court by friends, and we would definitely recommend it to others!

My mother has been a resident for three years now, and her room is kept clean and tidy and smells fresh. If she wants to join in with activities, she can, and if she prefers her own company for art, she either uses the main table in the lounge or in her room.
Thank you for your review, we agree it's important residents have the choice to take part in activities and a good variety, to make sure everyone has something they enjoy and is of interest. It's great your mother loves to continue her art!
Mum had been a resident at Oakwood Court Care home for about six years but sadly passed away in October. I have nothing but admiration for all of the staff at Oakwood Court for the way they looked after Mum during her stay and especially when mum's health deteriorated toward the end of her life....
Thank you.
Thank you for your wonderful review. Our team adored your mum and they all spent good times together with her at Oakwood Court.
All together a superb experience. Quite expensive but very worthwhile.

I can't assign meaningful marks to the individual categories for obvious reasons - however, I feel sure they would all have been high as we were more than comfortable with everything we saw on our visit.

"I have worked at Oakwood Court since 2008, and started as a care assistant. I now have a Diploma in General Nursing, and both a Level 3 in Health and Social Care and a Level 5 in Leadership and Management of Care Services. I enjoy my role as care home manager and get satisfaction from helping residents and seeing them happy in our home.
I love my job because it's so rewarding leading a team and supporting our residents to live a bright life and putting them and their families at the heart of everything we do.
We do everything we can for them and it's brilliant to see the smiles on their faces. I look forward to meeting you and showing you around our friendly home."

"I have a wealth of experience and have worked in care since 2011. I began my career as a support worker and care assistant. I have worked with young children with challenging behaviour, young adults living in supported housing and have also been an assistant manager and registered manager in a residential care home for older people.
Working in a care setting is rewarding and fulfilling. I enjoy helping people to live a fulfilling life and leading the team to help them develop and grow and embrace the organisation's values, as well as provide the highest standard of care for our residents.
Outside of work, I am a pastor, parent governor and gym enthusiast!"

"I started in care 25 years ago as a care worker, quickly moving to the role of branch manager. In 2011, I became the Registered Manager for a large branch providing domiciliary care. In 2019, I then moved into the compliance side of care, becoming the compliance and office manager for the company, where I started my journey in care.
In 2015, I achieved my QCF level 5 in Health & Social Care. I have also undertaken several other courses to assist me in doing my job to the best of my ability.
I enjoy working with the team at Oakwood Court, supporting the registered manager and other members of the team, continuing to provide the high standard of care here and ensuring that the residents' needs are met and that they are safe and happy.
I am always happy to assist in any way that I can, and to encourage members of staff where possible, to achieve their goals to gain the same level of satisfaction that I get from a very rewarding career."

I have over 25 years experience in catering and have been a Chef Manager here since 2013. I love food and cooking and I understand the importance of food. My father was Spanish and my upbringing has revolved around family and food.
Mealtimes are one of the most important parts of the day, especially for socialising and residents' wellbeing. There's nothing better than seeing residents tucking into a home cooked, hearty meal and getting good feedback from them, it brings joy to me and makes my job rewarding. I am supported in the kitchen by a Chef and two Kitchen Assistants and spend time with residents listening to their feedback and menu ideas.

I started working at Oakwood Court in April 2022, and coming from mainly an administrative background, this is my first role in a care home. After only being here a short time, I sensed what a warm, friendly, caring home it is. It really does feel like “home from home”. I am the first port of call for all visitors to the home, such as relatives, friends, nurses and tradespeople and I keep all the administrative paperwork up to date. But what I enjoy most about my job is interacting with the lovely residents.
I deliver their post and help read letters from family and friends if they are unable to do so themselves. Seeing the joy on their faces when I am reading to them is what I find so rewarding.

"I take care of the day-to-day maintenance of the building making sure all the checks have been done, including fire and gas safety, water and electrical testing. My role includes more basic tasks such as unblocking shower wells, checking light bulbs and cleaning the bins - just as important! There is generally a lot of cleaning, tidying, and ensuring everything is in safe working order. I will also decorate rooms when they become vacant and keep the rest of the home looking as good as it can be.
I very much enjoy spending time talking to residents when I’m working in their rooms and supporting the care team in any way I can. Sometimes I have the opportunity to join in activities with residents such as gardening or singing, which is a great privilege.
I may have my week planned, but often my work can be reactive, you never really know what you’re going to walk into in the morning, one of the many reasons I love working here."
