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.
My mother has been a resident at Oakwood Court since September, initially for respite care and then for full care. My mother made this decision herself after being at Oakwood Court for a few weeks. She was happy in such a safe environment and so impressed with all the staff who treat the residents...
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.

"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."
