Oak Lodge Residential Home

My Father was only at Oak Lodge from April- August with Alzheimer's as a Primary concern. Unfortunately my Father's cancer shortened his time here. The staff supported him and persevered throughout his transition and settling him in. They worked extremely hard to work with multiple agencies to get him the prescriptions and support he needed as he moved from another district. They contacted us throughout this process and communication was always very good. We cannot fault the care and support my Father had at Oak Lodge. A small care home was just the right fit for my Dad. Thank you to all the staff, we highly recommend them.

He has even improved on his mobility from being cared for at home ..his room is always clean and tidy ..the food is loverly..all the staff are great

My mum recently passed away and therefore spent only a few short weeks at Oak Lodge. However, I cannot speak highly enough of the care she received - respect, kindness, dignity all to the highest standard. All of the staff right from the ladies in the kitchen through to the owner genuinely care. I am forever grateful to them.

My mother lives in a home which is busy and active and stimulating for someone with Alzheimer's, something which is appreciated by her family. The family atmosphere created by the owner and staff makes her a happy person to visit and gives great comfort to ourselves. The staff are diligent, caring and hard-working and all they do is very much appreciated by ourselves. Despite my mother needing feeding by staff and lifting and carrying, she still seems well-loved there despite her dependencies.

During the final few weeks of my mother's life, they were incredibly diligent and helpful.

My mother has been extremely well looked after for some time now. She has had vascular dementia and has been doubly incontinent but the staff have managed to keep her clean and she has been well looked after in all respects. She has received appropriate medical treatment when required and has been taken to hospital when necessary. She really has not been capable of taking part in activities lately but she did enjoy playing indoor skittles and similar games. The home-cooked food always smells and looks appetising and a member of staff has fed her when my mother became unable to feed herself. My mother's room had a pleasant view across the garden and also had its own private bathroom and W.C.

I have found Oak Lodge to be excellent in the quality of care provided.
