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.

My mother has lived at Oakwood Court for just over 2 years and now 96. When looking for a suitable home for her I was upset at the state of some places, but as soon as I entered Oakwood Court there was a lovely atmosphere. My mother is very happy and very well looked after. I am notified immediately if there is a problem or if the GP (who visits regularly) has seen my mother. The food is good, there are activities laid on and some entertainment. The home is very clean and my mother is treated with kindness and dignity.
Thanks so much for your fantastic review of Oakwood Court.

With the onset of dementia, my father could not live on his own and we needed a home which was local to me. Oakwood Court was by far the better of all the ones we visited. The staff were really supportive in the first few weeks as my father was very anxious about his change of circumstance. Although his anxiety never totally went away the staff were always on hand, day and night, to support and comfort him. If I ever had any questions or concerns about my father there was always a member of staff who would discuss what it was and what could be done. He especially liked spending the day in the bright and colourful lounge and would always take part in many of the activities that were arranged by the home. His recent death was totally unexpected and the home and staff were very supportive and helpful to myself and family during this very difficult period.
Thank you for this excellent review and we are sorry to hear about the passing of your father. We're pleased you had a positive experience during his stay at Oakwood Court and our staff were caring and helpful.

It was a big change for Mum to move into residential care after years of independence in her own home and she has settled in well.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we are pleased your mother is happy at Oakwood Court.
My mother is very happy in this home which to me, is the most important thing. She is well cared for which eases our mind and stops us worrying, knowing that she is in a safe place.

Very happy with the level of care and cleanliness provided at Oakwood Court. During all my visits the staff have been helpful and always do their best to assist my mum with any requests she has. It is reassuring to know that she is being very well looked after.

As a care home with elderly residents, some form of regular physical exercise would be helpful, such as simple exercises for seated patients as recommend on a BBC programme.

Thanks for your review. We do have regular exercise sessions which are held at Oakwood Court, including gentle chair exercise. We are also recruiting an Activities Co-ordinator who can deliver additional exercises. Giving our residents the opportunity to exercise is incredibly important and we make sure exercise features regularly in our activity programme. The Care Home Manager at Oakwood Court would be happy to talk about our programme with you in more detail. Kind regards.

Food is excellent and Mum always loves her prawn salad, fish and chips and roasts. Everyone is very kind even in challenging circumstances.

are polite and caring. Activities lack on some days but on the whole, they have entertainers come in and they are very good. This is a purpose-built building which has wide corridors and very good size rooms. Definitely a good place to be if you need help.

"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."
