Oakwood Court

Mum has been a resident of Oakwood Court for over 10 years now and is very happy there. When my husband and I moved away from Sussex, we asked Mum if she would like to move nearer to us, but there was no way she was going to leave the comfort of Oakwood Court - even for her daughter! I have no need to worry about Mum as I know she is in good, safe hands and is happy in her environment.

The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the home is clean, safe and well run.

There are lots of fun, interesting activities both for residents on a daily basis, and larger events throughout the year when family members are encouraged to join in, such as coffee mornings, BBQs, music evenings and various themed parties the staff put on throughout the year.

If there are ever any concerns about Mum's health or any other issues, the staff are always quick to inform me.

Overall we are extremely happy with the care and support we receive from all the staff at Oakwood Court.

Very caring, well trained and motivated staff for whom nothing is too much trouble. Good communication with resident and relatives.

The staff have all been kind and caring and I have been impressed with the patience and consideration they have given her.

My mother feels safe and content in this environment.

I have enjoyed my stay at Oakwood Court very much.

All the staff are very kind and I got on very well with the residents. It is a happy, cosy care home. Thank you.

As my aunt lives some 25 miles away from her nearest family, is now aged 92 and showing the first signs of dementia, it was important that the home we chose for her was one that could be trusted to meet her needs where she felt safe and where the staff were sympathetic and supportive. She has often expressed to me her contentment with her life at Oakwood Court and from my point of view, I have always been impressed by the friendliness, gentleness and professionalism of the staff and the pleasant surroundings.

My sister and I have been delighted with Oakwood Court. The very caring staff have been great with mum and helped her to settle in. It is obvious that the manager has a great team, they all work together and all seem to enjoy their work. They put on many activities - not just for the residents but their families too and these have all been very enjoyable. It was a tough decision to place mum in a care setting but the staff have been very supportive to my sister and I.

I would have no hesitation recommending Oakwood Court to others. (Indeed I have recently recommended it to a friend for respite)

I have been extremely impressed by the standard of care and support the staff at Oakwood Court have shown to my mum. They treat everyone with dignity and nothing is too much for them. I feel confident in leaving my mum in their care - they're very observant and quickly identify when my mum needs additional help. My mum likes being at Oakwood Court - she says this to me often. They have regular entertainment - I've also been Impressed by the resident council - Oakwood responds to all requests and concerns.

My mother-in-law was a resident for just over a year. After the initial uncertainty (lasting less than a week) she settled very well into life at the care home and grew to like and appreciate the great level of care that she received without fail. All the staff always treated her with dignity, respect and kindness and it really did become her home. After her last hospital stay, she was discharged for end of life care. We thought that we would need to find a nurse home, but Oakwood Court said they were able and pleased for her to return. They said it was her home and they wanted her to spend her last days and weeks at home.

This is a very caring, friendly home. All the staff are excellent, from the top to the bottom. Nothing is too much trouble. There is a choice of hot meals twice a day, with coffee, tea, biscuits, fruit throughout the day. I was even included in the fruit kebabs - one of their initiatives to keep the residents hydrated. I am very impressed with the range and frequency of activities provided. There is something morning and afternoon. Last week my father was taken to the seaside for fish and chips. The bedrooms are of a very generous size with ensuite bathroom.

Our mother has been living in Oakwood Court for eight months, she is very well cared for there by the staff, both in terms of medical and pastoral care. She is stimulated by the activities they put on, likes her accommodation, enjoys the food and the company and community there. When we visit her, we are impressed by how well presented and well maintained Oakwood Court is, how friendly the staff are and by the lovely atmosphere. It gives us peace of mind that she is very happy living there, and is so very well looked after by the staff.

My aunt is very happy at Oakwood Court. The staff are helpful, supportive and understanding, and also have a good sense of humour which is always appreciated.

Perfect. My stay is enjoyable.

We are very pleased with Oakwood. The carers are very good and patient with my father. We are able to see him a lot as we live close by. The building is purpose built, well kept and clean.

Oakwood Court is a wonderful place, mostly down to it's friendly and attentive staff, as well as the bright and airy surroundings. I know that dad is comfortable and well cared for here.

Dad has been in Oakwood Court for three and a half years and I have no complaints, the staff are very approachable when I need to see them and they keep me informed about dad's problems. Dad is deaf and almost blind.

My mother has been at Oakwood Court for nearly 3 years and she suffers with dementia and Alzheimer's. The staff are outstanding as is the management. The level of care has exceeded my expectations, they always phone with any comments/problems so I always feel well informed. I visit about 5 times a week and my mother is always clean well tended. I would not hesitate to recommend Oakwood Court to anyone. I liked the fact she was able to provide all her own furniture so that her room felt like home immediately.

Excellent care home, the staff are consistent and remain at this care home. They treat my mother who has dementia with kindness and consideration. I have no hesitation in recommending this care home.

My father arrived at Oakwood Court following a fall and a spell in hospital. When he arrived he was very frail and insecure. Within a week he looked 10 years younger. This entirely due to the staff of all levels. Nothing is too much trouble. Everyone is friendly, caring and supportive, he is helped where necessary but is doing things for himself too which had been too much trouble, well done Oakwood Court.

The atmosphere is relaxed and approachable and residents are encouraged to have visitors at any time. we have enjoyed having meals with her; the food is excellent, very varied and of high quality. The knowledge that my mother is being so well looked after has been a great support for the family.
