Mum has only been at Oakleigh for a short time, but she's never looked happier. Apparently, she's eating very well and joins in with activities, that is music to our ears because she had been living on her own and had become quite down and very lonely. All the staff I have spoken to are absolutely first class, cannot fault them at all. Thank you so much.
My grandma has been at the home for 2 weeks now, previously staying in another home for 8 weeks.

My grandma has been at the home for 2 weeks now, previously staying in another home for 8 weeks. I have received more information and help regarding my grandma in the first 2 days at Oakleigh than 8 weeks in the previous home. Oakleigh is just up the road from family, the staff are very good with my grandma. The residents there are welcoming and friendly too. I feel I can relax in the knowledge that my grandma is being well looked after and her needs are being met. It is so reassuring to know she is safe and well. The manager has been really helpful and there is nothing which is too much trouble for her.
My brother became a resident after a spell in hospital. He is bed-bound and can do only small things for himself. The care he has received from the staff at Oakleigh is wonderful. He is happy and hasn’t looked so clean, tidy and well for many years. Thank you so much, everyone!

I am so pleased my mother in law was accepted as a resident at this care home. The manager and staff have done such a good job of keeping her and all the other residents safe and well during this terrible pandemic. I can’t thank them enough for all they do and continue to do.

The home is clean, which is also an indicator of a good home and mum has got a really nice room. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for an excellent care home with dedicated staff for their loved ones.
My mother-in-law has been a resident here for just over a year, and she is very happy and settled here. She has right from day one been treated as part of the family, all the members of staff are so friendly, caring, and nothing is too much trouble for them. We also feel we are part of the family...
Before she came here we looked at other care homes, but they didn’t feel right, but as soon as the door was opened to us here, we felt so welcomed by the manager and her fabulous team. We were shown around, and we felt like a family this was the best place for her.
We are so glad we found Oakleigh and cannot thank the staff enough.

Now more than ever, with what's happening, we are so pleased Mum is in their safe hands. They go the extra mile with everything from regular updates, telephone calls plus video calls meaning we can see our loved ones are well.
We would certainly recommend Oakleigh to anyone looking for an outstanding care home.
She is well looked after by the manager and her excellent team. We are kept well informed of her wellbeing during the current Coronavirus crisis and look forward to visiting again when it's all over.

That means the world to families; knowing that loved ones are cared for as individuals.
Oakleigh can’t replace a family, but they are part of the family.

My lovely mum has vascular dementia and has been a resident since March 2018; following an unhappy experience in another home. The staff treat the residents with respect and dignity and have restored our faith in the care system. Mum has settled in well and is very well cared for in a clean and safe environment. The staff have especially handled the last few weeks during the Covid-19 crisis impeccably. We have been getting regular group updates on our loved ones' wellbeing, which has been a great comfort to us. We talk to Mum regularly on video chat, which is lovely as we can see that she is well and very content. The lovely staff are always available to answer any queries and concerns.
We have been delighted with the care Mum has received in Oakleigh for the last four and a half years. The staff are very friendly but always professional in the way they carry out the care of the residents. Mum is always nicely dressed with coordinating items of clothing, and her hair is always...
The residents are based mainly in the lounge areas in the day, and there is always a member of staff present to ensure their comfort and safety as well as to engage with them in cheerful conversation.
The food is tasty and nourishing, prepared fresh each day. The lounge areas are comfortable and homely and are cleaned frequently. In short, both the care and the accommodation at Oakleigh are of the highest of standards and at no time have we had any reason to be less than pleased with everything.

She settled from the moment she arrived and was made to feel very welcome and comfortable in her new surroundings. Recently Mum has had a spell in the hospital.
On returning to Oakleigh, the manager and staff could not have done more for my mum and still are. Encouraging her to eat, drink and making sure she was looked after in every possible way. Always looking at ways to improve her quality of life. We as a family, cannot thank them enough.
We would certainly recommend Oakleigh.
My mother came to Oakleigh for respite. After two weeks it was decided that permanent care was needed. She chose to stay at Oakleigh as she was very happy with the care she received from the friendly and helpful staff.

Care home seems very homely and the food always looks good.
They make relatives feel welcome and willing to spend time discussing mum.

I consider this care home to be extremely good. My mother is very well cared for physically and mentally. She takes part in the activities they provide for the residents and she's always clean and dressed well. Medically the manager has sorted out her medication with the doctors and there has been a vast improvement with her mental health and improvement with her appetite. I would not wish for her to be anywhere else.

My mum has been in Oakleigh since mid-2018. I have always been very pleased with the care and attention she has there. A homely space for my mum to see out her final years, where it is calm, clean and comfortable. The room my mum has is lovely and adequate for her needs. The staff are all lovely, very approachable and nothing is too much trouble. Any issues or concerns you have can be raised with them and are dealt with swiftly and efficiently. The care and consideration shown to her varying and ever-changing needs are second to none. Highly recommended.
My grandmother is very well looked after. The home and the staff are fantastic with all of the service users that live there. The care that they receive is exceptional.
