Thank you al for the kindness, compassion and dignity you showed my mother during her short time with you. Although she was only with you briefly, it meant so much to our family to know she was cared for with such thoughtfulness and warmth. The compassion showed by all of your staff did not go unnoticed. We are grateful for that. Thank you all from Pearl and family.

My Grandma has been at Oakleigh since May 2025 and is a completely different lady. Before going into Oakleigh she lost her husband and she became very reserved. Since being at Oakleigh she is happy, chatty, joins in with all the activities (the activities provided are amazing) and has made friendships. Oakleigh is very clean and always smells nice! The meals also look delicious and the rooms are lovely too. The whole team are always extremely welcoming and caring. Thankyou!

My sister came to Oakleigh for respite last year and asked if she could stay permanently. She feels very safe and well cared for and is extremely happy to be here. Staff are very caring and welcoming to both residents and families. We are very happy to have Oakleigh's care for my sister.

My husband was discharged here from hospital with pressure sores which are so difficult to heal - but with care from Oakleigh's staff they were all healed. He was looked after with compassion and consideration all the time. There are good activities here but he preferred not to join, mostly dozing comfortably in the day. We had been warned he would not live long (he was 96) but in that time I and my family were welcomed and supported during all our visits. I would recommend Oakleigh without any reservations.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely safe environment with great facilities. Management have also been very helpful in all our needs. Would recommend facility very highly.
