Oak Lodge

My mother has been at Oak Lodge since December 2020, although she now can't do anything for herself, they treat her with the utmost respect and preserve her dignity. They ensure that she is not in her room all day, but is moved to the lounge area daily, where she can see and hear all the activities, and even where singing is involved, join in. All the staff are amazing, caring and attentive, and have absolutely no doubt that she is in the best possible hands, day and night.

All of the staff at Oak Lodge are wonderful, so friendly and caring. I cannot praise them enough. They have all helped my husband settle in and feel at home. There is such a lovely atmosphere. They have also given me the confidence that he is very well cared for. Nothing is too much trouble. Thank you to Grace and all the team.

Fom a visitor's perspective, Oak Lodge is in a lovely open countryside location, there are ample parking spaces.

We will certainly not hesitate to recommend the home to anyone looking for somewhere where their loved ones will be safe and well cared for.

My mum has lived at Oak Lodge for 3 years and I have always been impressed by the level of care given. From the very start all the staff seemed to know her and understand her needs, adapting to her as she has become more frail. She is always treated with respect and dignity, and enabled to enjoy her life in the home.

When she first moved in she was able to join in many of the varied activities and, although she is less inclined to now, she is always encouraged and helped to do anything she wishes to do. She recently celebrated her 100th birthday and I was overwhelmed by the support I received in organising a small celebration.

I have rarely had to raise any concerns but have found that staff are usually already aware and dealing with any issue.

It gives me great peace of mind to know that Mum is in such a lovely, caring environment.

Although my mother has dementia, which sadly will never change, it has become noticeable that she is declining a lot slower than before she moved to Oak Lodge, and we have no doubt that this is due to the staff providing lots of varied entertainment and catering for her varied needs, for which we are very grateful.

Oak Lodge - Forest Care is expertly managed and all the care team are wonderful. Since joining Oak Lodge my mother is content with her dementia. It seemed the right decision to start her at Oak Lodge before there was an accident and this has proved the right decision as she has made good friends, is settled into the daily routine and enjoys the events. Prior to starting, my mother would often ask what she had done wrong or what she was expected to do next? There is none of this worry at Oak Lodge because as a resident with dementia she benefits from continual social contact and activities. It is a huge relief to see my mother happy and thriving in the warm and welcoming environment. I went to see 10 care homes in the area before selecting Oak Lodge and would not have my mother in any other care home. The staff are amazing and look after my mother with genuine care and attention to keep her happy.

My Mum has been in Oak Lodge for nearly 4 years and all of the time the staff have treated her with love and care. I live away and cannot visit her as much as i would like, but i know she couldn't have better care than in Oak Lodge and i am very grateful to all the staff who look after her. She now has Dementia which is heartbreaking, but they all cope with the situation amazingly.

My Mum has been in Oak Lodge Care Home since August last Year and the Care she has received has been Amazing. The Management and Staff are very attentive and there are always activities/events on to keep the residents occupied. The change in my Mum is very noticeable and it has given my family peace of mind knowing she is being well cared for.

The home is kept beautifully, clean and attractive and above all, welcoming.

I would be extremely happy if mum could continue living here and i'd be happy to recommend Oak Lodge to anyone

Oak Lodge is a caring, welcoming care home. The staff welcome you with a smile and a hello and are always willing to assist; top class care provided at all times. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Oak Lodge and its first class service.

I am so blessed that she's enjoying her new home, thank you Oak Lodge for providing outstanding care and support to mum.

The care is exceptional, the setting in beautiful grounds is perfect and the catering is amazing. We would love to thank everyone at Oak Lodge for everything they do for her .

Everything is included, nothing is too much trouble and there is nothing more I could ask for.

I'm in turn always greeted as "a friend/family member" which makes me feel very welcome too.

Oak Lodge is a 5 star residential home and I have no hesitation in recommending this home to anyone considering a care home for themselves or a relative or friend. I cannot think of one thing which isn't carried out to a very high standard. The home is situated in glorious surroundings which are well maintained and have the wow factor on arrival!

My dear 88-year-old elderly mother recently completed a five-week respite stay at Oak Lodge. I cannot speak highly enough of the love, care, patience and personal attention which she received during her stay. Oak Lodge itself is a home of the highest quality, very well kept, set in beautiful surroundings, offering a quality of care and kindness which is embedded in all staff, at all levels, from the top down. My mother, with early-stage dementia, and not entirely appreciating the full extent of help she needs, is not the easiest character to manage and work around. Everyone at Oak Lodge settled her in beautifully, and she had a wonderful time, she could not have been treated with greater care and consideration. All of the management and staff are friendly, helpful and straightforward, the administration is first-class. I would highly recommend Oak Lodge to anyone seeking top-quality care for a loved one in a beautiful, countryside setting with excellent modern facilities.

I'm so glad that Mum and Dad's last months were made so comfortable, and in turn, this leaves me feeling very happy.

The family made an informed choice when we applied to Oak Lodge for residence for my 90-year-old wife in 2022, and we have been very well rewarded for the trouble we took to find the best home for her. She quickly settled and greatly appreciates the care that she is receiving. We've been particularly grateful for the way that Oak Lodge has liaised with us as a family and the support the staff have given me personally in adjusting to living without my wife, whom I've known for nearly 80 years.
