Oak Lodge

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

Our feeling is just the same that the quality-of-care mum gets keeps her stimulated and mentally sharp. We feel we have made exactly the right choice for mum.

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.

On our first visit to Oak Lodge, we were impressed by the modern, well-maintained gardens and facilities, all situated in quiet pleasant Hampshire countryside. Mum initially agreed to a four-week stay to experience life at Oak Lodge for herself. During that time she was so happy with the kindness, assistance and willing support from the different Oak Lodge teams that she asked to extend her stay. Mum has now been resident at Oak Lodge for over four years and she was delighted to be able to celebrate her 100th birthday there two years ago with friends and relatives. Mum is happy to know she can rely on the staff who are knowledgeable, considerate, well-organised and work efficiently as a team. Mum continues to feel "at home" at Oak Lodge; she is contented and relieved to be free from the worries she had in the past when living alone at home.

My Aunt has been living at Oak Lodge for more than 3 years now, and it felt like home from the moment we moved her in. I have never had a worry, or doubt that this home was a very lucky find. It is so clean, something that impressed me at the beginning and standards have never slipped. The staff are all happy in their work and very friendly and approachable, it feels like one big family. Every visit has uplifted me, seeing the care that everyone gets and the happy atmosphere. My Aunt does not make the most of the activities and facilities as she likes to be in her room, but evidence of lots of crafts and events reflects how everyone is treated individually. My Aunt has coped with the restricted visits during recent lockdowns, and alternatives have been put in place brilliantly. In fact, I think I am missing the visits to the activity room, making coffee and sitting down for a chat with my Aunt overlooking the terrace more than her!
