My dad has settled in well at Oaklands. The staff are caring, respectful and treat him with dignity and kindness. There are frequent activities for the residents, as well as many involving friends and relatives. The gardens at Oaklands are wonderful, and dad enjoys walking around them, and sitting in the Conservatory looking out at them. The food is of excellent quality and variety.
I was welcomed by staff, the home was very inviting and everyone was taking part in activities.
Looking forward to visiting again

The staff of Oaklands showed great compassion and professionalism whilst caring for my mother during her last months of life and ultimately when she was on the End of Life Pathway. They kept her immaculately clean, fed her, encouraged her and took every care to preserve her personal dignity. Time and again the staff went over and above with small but hugely important acts of kindness. Medical care was also delivered thoughtfully and was of a very high order. My mother's interests were always the priority of all staff. Thank you.

My aunties experience was so positive that she cannot wait to go back again! She felt welcomed and enjoyed her respite stay. The meals and entertainment, along with staff interactions, made her fit in very well. It was like going to an all-inclusive holiday she said.

My mum had been bed bound for 7 years before coming to Oaklands. Within a week the care staff had her dressed and sitting in a comfy chair in the lounge watching TV and drinking tea with other residents, I was totally amazed. She has since been around the beautiful gardens in a wheelchair and had a bath, two firsts for years and years. God bless the staff, Mum obviously was neglected but we didn't realise. I can't say thank you enough.

Staff member's profile info: I started my career in health and social care 20 years ago, in a small Nursing home that was then bought out by Kingsley Healthcare. I worked for Kingsley Healthcare in different settings until 2018, where I wished to progress in my role and started my journey in care home management. I am very happy to have rejoined the Kingsley team last year as deputy manager at Oaklands. I have experience in nursing, dementia, and complex care, and I enjoy sharing my gained skills and knowledge with the team at Oaklands. Oaklands is a beautiful home, with wonderful grounds, gardens, and communal spaces. The warm welcome I have received since joining the team is a real credit to the company's values and culture of the home.

I started my care career as a carer before going on to qualify as a Registered Nurse with a BSc (Hons) in Adult Nursing from the University of Suffolk. I have spent the last eight years working as a nurse in care home settings, building a wide range of clinical skills and a real passion for person-centred care. I am excited to take on this new challenge and look forward to supporting the team at Oaklands to deliver the highest standard of care for our residents.

Staff member's profile info: I have worked in event management and hospitality for the last 30 years, working mainly in London. I joined the team at Oaklands to make a difference to our residents. I try to make sure the residents feel at home in their surroundings and enhance their daily life with a smile, activities, time to talk and making them feel special. We have a wonderful team here at Oaklands with staff who go above and beyond caring for residents as if it were their own family members.
I have 2 children and enjoy family time with them and wider family as much as I can. I love entertaining at home, amateur dramatics and travelling on holidays all over the world as much as I can. I was lucky enough to visit Borneo and spend time with orphaned orangutans, amongst other amazing things, in such an amazing country. I love my job here at Oaklands and am determined to make a difference to our residents and staff
