Oak Lodge Care Home

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.

My sister has been at Oak Lodge for over 7 years. Oak Lodge have taken good care my sister for all these years and the Staff and Management are all approachable. We always feel free to discuss any concerns about my sister and they always listen and do all they can to help.

My only regret is that, given my sister is bedbound, she is unable to enjoy the beautiful surroundings outside her room.

I have no hesitation in recommending Oak Lodge to anyone looking for a good care home for their loved one.

I know that Mum is being well looked after and I also know that the team are there for both her and me.

I am very happy to wholeheartedly commend the management and hard work of this exemplary nursing home.

He does find the evenings rather isolated back in his room, but he uses the computer. He has suggested a “pub” is installed where residents could meet in the evenings. A wonderful care home overall. The staff are second to none and go to great lengths to ensure comfort for the residents

I have been impressed with Oak Lodge since my first contact with the manager. She was so accommodating and understanding of our situation. She offered respite care, which resulted in my mother being so at ease and comfortable that she made that important decision to make Oak Lodge her home. The staff and facilities are excellent, and daily activities and crafts have seen my mother flourish. My sister and I have peace of mind about the care she is receiving and always feel welcome when we visit. Well done to all the staff!”

It’s a job to know where to start in complimenting Oak Lodge. The word ‘care’ in a care home isn’t sufficient to describe the care, love and attention everyone receives at Oak Lodge. The staff make friends with residents and visitors alike and always greet you by name. They know the residents and treat them with dignity and respect, making sure they are comfortable and happy. Our dear friend arrived at Oak Lodge over three years ago, and it is clear that the care and attention she receives have given her a wonderful quality of life. Thank you to everyone at Oak Lodge, which I am convinced is the best in the country.

In short, I cannot speak highly enough of the professional management, great teamwork and wonderful, dedicated nurses and carers, and am recommending Oak Lodge to anybody in need of the highest quality home.

I am so very, very grateful for the outstanding care she has received at Oak Lodge.

We would not hesitate in recommending Oak Lodge to anyone looking for care for a relative. It is a lovely home.

The home is an absolute joy to see. It's bright, lovely rooms for residents and the gardens and grounds are so well cared for. Everyone seems happy, and it has so many activities for the residents. My mother is very happy there and has never complained about anything or anyone. I feel completely relaxed to know she is so well cared for. Thank you for all your kindness to Mum.

We are so grateful to all the staff for the love and care they show to Dad and know we can trust that they always do the best for Dad. Thank you

Lastly they all want the best for the people who are staying at Oak Lodge.

I’m so happy with the decision we made to move her to Oak Lodge.

Our 90-year-old mother entered Oak Lodge Care Home in May 2021. Although she was rather confused to begin with she soon settled down helped by the exceptional standards of care at the home and the kindness of all staff. As a family, we are grateful to all the nurses and other staff at Oak Lodge who have been consistently supportive. The manager runs an impeccable ship. Thank you

Thank you to all of the team for helping Mum to settle in.

My mother has been at Oak Lodge for three years and is very happy there. The home manager supported by nurses, carers, activities team and a range of support staff do a wonderful job in keeping Oak Lodge happy, safe and an active home for all residents. Oak Lodge is very welcoming with a range of lovely purpose-built rooms and continues to be outstanding!

A few years ago Oak Lodge cared for my mother-in-law and she was very happy there. Unfortunately, in late Summer of 2020, my own Mother was unable to continue living independently and so when our family had to make that difficult decision, we didn't hesitate to think again of Oak Lodge. We were delighted to hear that many of the staff members who had made life happy, safe and fun for my mother-in-law were still at Oak Lodge and all with the same dedication and enthusiasm for life that we had seen a few years back. Our family was delighted and although my Mother was hesitant about residential care, she was willing to give it a try after the welcome she received. Despite all the pressures that 2020 had brought this sector, Oak Lodge has remained the haven we remember from previous times. The care, patience and good natured nurturing staff are a real credit to the caring profession and we stand in awe of the whole Oak Lodge team. We thank them all.
