Review from Linda H (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 August 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Mum came to the home for respite care after a period of illness. She was made to feel very welcome from the day she arrived. Her room was lovely and light with patio doors to a well tended garden, mum enjoyed watching the activity in the garden, the beautiful surroundings reminded her of her garden at home, respite became permanant As an ex nurse and carer Mum's standards are high and I'm happy to say Oakhaven exceeded her and our families expectations. The menus offered good choices with flexible options. The staff are wonderful Hazel, Sharon, Lisa, Harsha, a few of the many who are exceptional the staffing here is first rate. Harsha is 5 star!

I am a carer that visited a resident who was on respite and I just want to say that I've worked in Care for 15 years and I've never seen such a great run home. The staff are all lovely. The Home is lovely activities all the time flowers being arranged pictures just a total overall vibe of the home and the energy was really quite beautiful.

Overall Experience

The home is extremely welcoming to family & friends. Mum has settled in so well after 2yrs. I feel comfortable leaving mum in their care & the staff (all staff) are very sensitive to her needs & understands her needs. Everytime I visit residents are happy & they get the residents involved in many activities that can stimulate the brain. I am extremely happy with all the care.

Review from Claire J (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 May 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The care my mum received whilst at Oakhaven, and right up to her passing was exceptional. The love, support and care were second to none for my dear mum as well as myself and our family. From the very start of Mum's residency, every member of staff was professional, friendly and kind. I would highly recommend Oakhaven to anyone looking for care for a loved one. Fabulous place with amazing and special staff.

Reply from Hazel Hilliard, Team Leader at Oakhaven Residential Care Home

Mum has been a resident at Oakhaven for 11 months and has been extremely happy with the care, facilities, meals and feels very safe in their hands. As her daughter, I feel I have chosen the best care home for her needs and feel very happy that any concerns I've had have been dealt with swiftly and professionally. Would not hesitate to recommend Oakhaven.

Both my nana and aunt have been very happy at Oakhaven, I feel it to be a home from home. Happy environment, staff care and are always willing to listen to any concerns. Clean, well staffed and very professional, respecting all needs and cultural needs too. Visiting times is an open-door approach. My aunt came on respite and is now happy in the home.
