Over all time The Oaks Private Residential Home has 7 reviews.
Upon entrance I was met by staff as doors at keycode (safety) then when entering living area staff was always helping the residents while looking around it seems clean tv is on for entertainment staff do reply when asked questions about my aunty and very time I have come to visit my aunty is clean and clothed appropriately since being in the care home she looks more healthy she has more colour and I am satisfied she is being looked after
The staff are amazing, all of the staff are approachable, the activities coordinator keeps everyone entertained, there is always something going on for the residents. My mother in law says the food is amazing and plenty of it with drinks and snacks throughout the day. As a family we couldn't ask for any more.
Tracy and most of the team have been nothing but amazing for the years that my Grandad has been living at the Oaks. They have always made us feel so welcome and made us feel like my Grandad has been really looked after and cared for. Nothing is ever too much trouble and most of the staff have taken the time to get to know us as a family and show us nothing but love and respect. We appreciate everything you have done and continue to do so much and have a lot of respect and love for you.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts... you are all amazing.
Kind regards and all the best to The Oaks family.
I find the care home very good with my brother, they are all very caring and interact with the residents. As I live a great distance from Wigan the management and staff always communicate with me and inform me of anything that is needed.
The management update us regularly on our mother’s progress. The place is very clean and tidy and gives a very welcoming atmosphere. The food provided is nicely cooked and well presented.
Activities are provided daily and recently many residents were taken to Blackpool to see the illuminations.
The care my mother received at the Oaks was excellent, in the 18 months she was there she presented many challenges and they met them all. The home know that it was not my first choice and I made that very clear to social services as I felt she needed more EMI nursing care then they could give but I was proven wrong.
