Oban House

My mum has been a resident at Oban House for 15 months. She has been treated with nothing but respect. The care she has been given has been exemplary, with carers listening to her needs/requests and meeting them as long as they complied with regulations. Her rooms and facilities are clean and kept in good order. There is a choice of food that is good. It is presented well and taken to her room. I have nothing but praise and thanks for the manager and her team.

My dad moved in, in February 2024. We looked at many places and felt this was the best place for his needs. The care team are extremely helpful and supportive. They are geared to cater for all medical conditions. We like the fact that the staff sit and eat with the residents and treat them like family.

All the carers employed are kind and thought full and her her with her meals as she has lost her sight and needs help with all daily activities. the management of Oban House is much improved this year which makes a positive difference to the way residents are cared for and helped with daily activities.

I find as a weekly visitor that all the staff are very helpful and kind.

- Not very responsive on emails.

The handling of the COVID epidemic has also been excellent in protecting all residents and contact with them has been really good. I have been kept up to date with everything, which has been good for my peace of mind. I would like to say a big thank you to all the carers at the home for the tremendous job they do keeping Dad very happy and healthy. They are worth their weight in gold. I would recommend this home to anyone who is looking for a place for a loved one.

My brother and are so relieved we have managed to find a place for Dad that feels like home for him. He's safe and well cared for now his dementia is getting a bit worse. Thank you, team, Oban!

My uncle is 99 and has been a resident at Oban House for just over a year. He has been treated with respect and feels that the staff are part of his family. They are caring and attend to his every need with cheerfulness and without complaint. During the pandemic, they have been wonderful and have kept us informed at all times. Thank you Oban House for all you do.

In her last days, the care was exemplary. Despite lockdown, I was able to be there and saw compassionate care from the team. In my absence, they sat with Mum to ensure a peaceful end.

My mother was very poorly when she first went into Oban House and was unable to do much for herself. She slept almost all of the time. Since coming here she is getting much better and has got a new lease of life! When I take her out for the day and return her to Oban House she says it feels like coming home! I am very pleased with the care and attention she gets from all the staff. This has also improved my quality of life as a carer too.

I took dad out of the hospital to Oban House and he was a 'nightmare'. Management and staff respectfully suggested I stay away for 4 days which I did. When I picked him up on the 5th day, he was clean, happy and delighted with his environment. With the love, care and expertise Oban House staff have created a care home environment for my dad and if he's happy then so am I. Thank you to all. X

A big thank you to the staff.

My sister in law went into Oban House rest home for two weeks respite after an operation and a fall. Her room was a very good size and lovely and clean. She was treated with kindness and dignity. She enjoyed the food and the activities which one was choir practise, she loves singing. She is now back at home. A big thank you to the Manager and her staff and if needed again, no hesitation.

Ban House is very friendly and the staff are amazing, caring and sympathetic. It is very clean and hygienic, residents care and needs are first priority. The food is very good and nourishing. Entertainment is very good. In four years my friends had no complaints.

The staff and management are warm and friendly and have a great regard for the dignity and well-being of residents and their families. They help the residents to take part in the activities with endless patience and care, the whole atmosphere of the home is cheerful and welcoming.

I came to Oban House for three weeks rest while suffering with a back problem. I was given a beautiful light, spacious room with plenty of food quality storage room and every possible comfort. The room was ensuite and a television provided. Every member of staff was friendly, helpful and efficient. Altogether this was an enjoyable stay in a real 'home from home'.

My mother stayed for a week at Oban House and was very happy staying there. She said she would be pleased to stay there again if I go on vacation. The care and people were wonderful, she especially enjoyed the food. The manager and staff were very caring.

My husband is looked after well. He is happy and cared for day and night.

Oban House is a welcoming, friendly care home where all staff do their utmost to look after the residents and their visitors. Dad is happy and content there.

My mother came to the home in early April 2016. From the beginning, my mother said it was the best thing that had happened to her for a long time. Since then she has maintained her approval of the home. The care and assistance she receives is above standard, and the food always appears excellent, and mum enjoys it. Nothing is too much trouble here, from all of the staff. I couldn't have found a better home for my mother.
