Oaklands House

A big thank you to all the staff at Oaklands House for making VE Day a happy event for the residents. Tea and a sing-song in the garden was a lovely idea with the weather to match. My relative enjoyed it very much.

The journey from home to residential care can be a bumpy one, but I cannot fault the kindness, patients and understanding the care team have given my mother throughout this period. My mother has gone from strength to strength over the last 8-months; it is a joy to see.

I think one member of staff, in particular, is wonderful and a good friend to me and anyone else.

I have been very pleased with the care that I have received being here for the last three weeks. I had a lovely Christmas here with presents that I did not expect. If I had been in my own home, I would have spent Christmas on my own. The food has been lovely and I have enjoyed most of it. The staff have been wonderful and have helped me get back on my feet since I came out of hospital. Thank you all for looking after me.

My mum was at Oaklands for 2 weeks following a hospital stay. I cannot recommend them enough. The staff were caring and helpful at all times, the room where she stayed was lovely, overlooking trees and a birds nest and was so quiet and tranquil after the hospital.

God bless you all. I call everyone God's Angels.

I live abroad, and can't visit her as much as I'd like: but now she is well looked after, entertained and happy.

I have been resident for over 2 years and I am happy and contented here.

I feel that my mother is in a safe, warm and caring environment at Oaklands.

4. 2 grouses - laundry care mediocre. Food only really good when Chef is in the kitchen.

Staff are very helpful and caring towards in residents. Nice clean, bright and happy place to be.

When we visit from ringing the doorbell the door is opened by a staff member with a big smile. Sign in any member of staff who walks past says morning/afternoon/hello. We get a cup of tea or coffee served to us while talking tour friend. If we need to know anything there is always somebody about to ask and if they don't know the answer then they will go and find out for you. It's such a lovely place that even we would sign up to go to when we get older.

Staff were very good. Conservatory very nice. Room was pleasant. Care was adequate. Visiting was alright. Food had too much fat. There was too much frying, except for fish and chips.

This was my husbands 4th week stay for respite care. Oaklands House feels like a house rather than a care home. All the staff are very friendly, kind and caring. The atmosphere is calm with vibrancy. The rooms are spacious and well furnished- everything you need. The food is excellent and well presented. The sitting rooms are comfortable and spacious. Good personal care. My husband is very happy there which is very important for me.

Wonderful service from all at this residential care home. Food 1st class, care beyond their call of duty.

I was sent to Oaklands for a period of rehab/convalescence following a period of three weeks at a hospital for heart surgery. The room was comfortable and well appointed. The care and the food were excellent. After one week I was fit to go home.

My mum has been in Oaklands House for 18 months. She is 95 yrs old and cared for excellently in all aspects of care. Oaklands House provide care and support in a friendly atmosphere. The management and staff are wonderful. Mum is kept spotlessly clean, always a pleasure to visit. Highly recommended.

My mother in law has settled into Oaklands House. She loves the staff and residents that she knows. She loves the games played and to be able to mix and chat and have someone with her all day (due to my working life I am unable to be with her). The food provided is wonderful. The staff interact with all residents and seem to have fun at work. Keep up the good work.

I have always been happy here. All the staff are very helpful. Food is excellent and is done in your time and they will make what you fancy.
