From the moment my wife Kirsty & I first visited Oaklands to see whether it would be suitable for my mother, following her being in hospital, we knew that it was the perfect nursing home for her.
It is a wonderful building with beautiful fittings, great facilities with excellent rooms which were always kept clean.
However, it's all the staff which made it so lovely with their amazing care, support & consideration over everyone's well being. They showed real affection & dignity to the residents & organised activities & outings.
My mother was a nurse herself and she would have been proud over the exemplary care that all the staff gave, sometimes in very difficult times.
In a strange way we miss the friendly welcoming atmosphere & people at Oaklands when we visited!
We would highly recommend Oaklands to anyone considering a nursing home for their loved one.
Thank you all for everything.

Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt review of your mother Shirley's time at Oaklands. It means a great deal to all of us. We remember her with great fondness, and it was a privilege to support her throughout her stay.We're delighted that from your very first visit you felt Oaklands was the right place for her. We take great pride in keeping our home welcoming, comfortable and clean, but it's truly our staff who bring the building to life. Your kind words about their care, compassion and dignity will mean the world to them.
Thank you for your trust, your kindness, and your recommendation. It was an honour to care for Shirley, and we send our heartfelt wishes to you and your family.

In the early days, the staff encouraged her to take part in activities, but respected her wishes if she refused. In her declining months, they never lost sight of who she was, and always met her needs.
The care she received from all the staff during her final months, weeks and days, was just as we had hoped it would be. She was pain free and peaceful, and treated with dignity and respect.
The staff were always available to talk to us, in person or on the phone, answering our many questions and always keeping us informed of her condition.
I would like to thank Oaklands so much.

Dear Pete, Thank you so much for taking the time to sharesuch a heartfelt review. Your words mean more to us than you can
imagine. It was a privilege to care for your mother over the past two
and a half years. She was a remarkable lady, and the love and dedication
you showed her were always evident. Knowing that you felt she was
treated with dignity, respect, and genuine affection brings great
comfort to our team. We are especially grateful for your reflections on
her final months. Supporting her through that stage of her journey, and
ensuring she remained peaceful and pain free, was incredibly important
to us. Your acknowledgement of the staff's care, communication, and
presence during that time is deeply appreciated. Thank you, sincerely,
for your kind words and for trusting Oaklands with your mother's care.
It was an honour to be part of her life. Warmest regards, Beti

I visit Dad 2-3 times a week, and I turn up unannounced. The level of care and engagement being provided is always very good.

A marvellous example of how the staff show care and compassion to both their patients and their relatives.I feel my wife and myself are valued and supported 24/7. Well done all at Oaklands.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. It is a privilege to support you both.

My relative has been resident at Oaklands for nearly a year. Right from the start I found the staff & management at Oaklands kind, helpful & pro-active in setting up and continuing his care. The very comfortable amenities & calm ambiance of the communal areas of the home are backed up by professional, friendly & considerate staff. There is an admirable attention to detail, including making sure that he has the equipment & furniture appropriate to his current needs. It is clear that my relative feels both comfortable & content here. No review would be complete without noting the quality of the meals provided, both in the actual food & its attractive presentation - despite being on a 'softer food diet' the dishes my relative is served always look nutritious, delicious & appetising. I would love to report how they taste but there is never anything left on the plate to try!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We are truly delighted to hear that your relative has felt comfortable and content during his time at Oaklands.Our team works hard to create a calm, welcoming environment, and it means a great deal to us that you have noticed their kindness, professionalism and attention to detail. Ensuring that each resident has the right equipment and support for their individual needs is something we take very seriously, so your comments are especially appreciated.
We are also very pleased that the meals have been such a positive part of his experience. Our kitchen team will be thrilled to know that their efforts in preparing nutritious and appealing dishes are making a difference - and that there's never anything left on the plate.
Thank you again for your kind words and for placing your trust in us.
I can't recommend this nursing home highly enough. My dad has been a resident for a few months now, and the care he receives is just amazing. He's always involved in activities and spending time in the communal areas with other residents, and the staff treat him with real dignity and...
They're also so flexible when I bring my young son to visit - he always gets included and engaged with, which means a lot to us. Every resident I see seems happy, clean, and well cared for.
The facilities are lovely too, with a nice terrace the residents can enjoy when the weather's good. Dad's room is modern and really high standard.
All round, it's a wonderful home, and I'm so happy he's there.
It means a great deal to our whole team that you feel he is treated with dignity, warmth and genuine care....
Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review. We are truly delighted to hear how well your dad has settled in and how positive his experience has been over the past few months.It means a great deal to our whole team that you feel he is treated with dignity, warmth and genuine care. Keeping residents engaged, active and connected with others is something we value deeply, so your comments about his involvement in activities and communal life are especially appreciated.
We're also very glad to hear that your visits with your young son feel relaxed and welcomed. Creating an environment where families of all ages feel comfortable is important to us, and it's lovely to know that these moments mean a lot to you.
Thank you as well for your kind words about the facilities and your dad's room. We work hard to maintain a homely, modern and uplifting space for all our residents.

* Joyce is treated with respect, courtesy and thoughtfulness. For example, she appeared a bit confused one morning and when I arrived one of the nurses discreetly asked me to let them know how I found Joyce to be so they could gather information should she have e.g the start of an infection.
*Joyce needs help to get washed and dressed and the member of the team giving this help is always patient and makes sure Joyce is able to choose which clothes she wears and does her hair knowing how she likes it.
*Joyce enjoys arts and crafts. The team all know this and the activity team tailor activities and outings for her accordingly.
*When Joyce has off site appointments or when visitors are coming, I let Oaklands know and they always put it in the diary so everyone is aware.
*In consultation with Joyce, her room has recently been refurbished.

Thank you so much for sharing this lovely review. It's wonderful to hear how thoughtfully Joyce is cared for - from the respectful way the team support her day-to-day needs to the personalised activities and the attention given to her wellbeing. Your comments about the nurses' discretion, the patience shown during personal care, and the tailored arts and crafts really highlight the warmth of the team. . You recommendation means a great deal.
my husband spent 3 weeks in oaklands before his passing, in this time he was looked after brilliantly the staff were caring & very involved - I would not hesitate recommending this nursing home to anybody.

Thank you so much for sharing these kind words during such a difficult time. It means a great deal to us to know that your husband felt cared for and supported during his three weeks at Oaklands. Our team will be truly touched by your appreciation.

Over the last 10 years I have visited Oaklands on a weekly basis visiting a longtime friend, and for nearly a year I have been visiting two friends when a another dear friend moved to Oaklands temporarily but now says she feels settled. Both women are without partners and neither has children. Both have been independent and active. So moving to "assisted living" was not an easy choice and occurred in each case following a health crisis. I have observed the initial period of bewilderment when getting home again is the intention and the imposition of routine feels interfering and unwelcome. I have seen the intuitive way the staff at Oaklands allow new residents to settle in and the supportive approach that preserves individuality. Over the years I have seen comings and goings and the huge extension project which must have tested the resilience of everyone. The home feels like a large family and the vulnerable are supported and encouraged to take a part by staff and residents.
Dear Carol. Thank you for your kind and thoughtful review. We're delighted your friends feel supported and settled, and we truly value your ongoing trust in us. We will continue doing our best and make sure our residents are happy at Oaklands.

On arrival this time he was greeted back by friendly and welcoming staff. The facilities are very good and the care he receives is personal and attentive. Big thank you to staff for spotting early signs of possible infection and dealing with it promptly.
He was included in the regular activities created for residents so didn't have to feel left out or isolated. He thoroughly enjoys the food which is always freshly prepared and adapted to personal requirements.
I would recommend Oaklands for anyone seeking good quality respite care.
Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we remain committed to providing highquality respite care for all who stay with us.
A little gem overlooking Brighton, Oaklands nursing home offers comfortable accommodation, well thought out activities, lovely food, all in a happy atosphere and a beautiful garden. Nothing is too much trouble for the wonderful staff. One reservation - a bit pricey.

Thank you for your lovely review. It was our pleasure to look after you at Oaklands and I am sure that everyone will miss you. We are happy to her that you are doing very well and wish you all the best. If you do require any help again in the future, we will be happy to help anytime.

The home, in general, always looks clean and well cared for, just like the residents.
When mum was more aware of things, she enjoyed the daily activities. There is a lot going on.
Thankyou so much to all the staff at Oaklands, which make it a really calm and enjoyable place to be.
Thank you very much for your kind words. It is our pleasure to look after your lovely mother. Although she is not able to join in our scheduled activities anymore, she is responding well to our staff when attended in the room. Her unique character makes her very special.

Oaklands Care Home originally cared for my father between 2021 and 2022. He received excellent care when he was there. When my mother got to the point where she needed greater help than she was receiving at home, we had no hesitation in asking Oaklands to care for her from mid 2025, initially on a respite care basis and now as a full time resident. Beti and her team are caring and professional and always do their best to provide an excellent service, whilst working in conjunction with family members to keep them appraised of day to day issues.
Thank you for your lovely review. Your mom is a very lovely lady and we are very happy having her at Oaklands. Knowing her before she became our resident as a wife of one of our residents, makes our relationship totally unique and in many ways helped to create better relationship between us all.

I found myself in unfamilia terrirory when mum became ill with Dementia and was told she would need to go in to residential care, but with the amazing support and care shown towards my mum and myself we settled quickly.From the management, nurses and every carer their compasion and empathy showned to all residents is exemplary.There is lots of activitys which mum loves doing painting,drawing,playing games and trips out.I am so happy that i can visit at any time,take her out or just sit in the garden then go home knowing she is safe and happy.I recomend to everyone looking for a warm and happy environment to place a love one, oaklands is 1st class and after 5 months my mum is thriving.
Dear Debbie, thank you for your lovely words. We are all very happy to look after your mom and is great to hear that you are happy with our care as well. Having yourself visiting your mom at Oaklands is another great experience for us all and I hope we will meet your expectations in the future as well.
I have just recently lost my mum who lived at Oaklands for just over five years. Throughout that time, the care that she received has been exemplary and I am so grateful to Beti and all the lovely staff who made those final years as good as they could possibly be for an increasingly confused and...
It's a beautiful building with excellent rooms and facilities which are always clean and airy, but it's the staff who made Oaklands so very special. The genuine affection that they have for their residents was so clear throughout my mum's time there. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they looked after her in a way that I will always be grateful for. They saw beyond the increasingly confused 91 year-old who could be very determined to do things her own way (!) and connected with the lovely person that she was.
I will miss my mum but will also miss the friendly welcoming atmosphere and people at Oaklands. You are superheroes, thank you so much xx
Thank you very much for wonderful words as always. I am sure that I am speaking in the name of all my staff when I say that we will all miss your mom and that it was our pleasure looking after her all these years. Like you said, she had her own way of doing stuff but she also had the...
Dear Graham,Thank you very much for wonderful words as always. I am sure that I am speaking in the name of all my staff when I say that we will all miss your mom and that it was our pleasure looking after her all these years. Like you said, she had her own way of doing stuff but she also had the most infectious smile and was able to melt anyones heart in the moment no matter what she did. We will all remember her for years to come the same we will miss you and your lovely family. Thank you for you kindness and the support you' ve given us all these years. Regards, Beti

From the moment I met Beti at Oaklands I had a good feeling. After being shown around, I just knew this was the place for my mother and after a year of mum being there I have been proven right! The kindness, care and friendliness shown to both my mother and myself is above and beyond what I have experienced in previous homes. All of the staff are outstanding and any request is met with prompt attention - nothing is too much effort. The head of activities keeps them all busy - balloon tennis is very popular with my mother and the other residents and if they wish to do something else he comes up with alternatives, no one is left out. From the day mum moved in my constant worries disappeared and one cant say more than that!
Dear Susan. Thank you for your beautiful review. It is always nice to hear that we are doing it right. I would like to say thank you to you as well as you are always ready to help and very understanding with everything. Your mom is really lovely and we are happy to be able to look after her.

My mother moved into Oaklands in February 2025. The rooms in the new wing are spacious, modern and ensuite with her room having direct access to the garden. The communal living area is nicely styled and comfortable with doors to a sun terrace. This is where the activities (singers, craft, games etc) take place. The bedrooms in the original part also appear nice in passing.
The most important part is care. I really can't speak highly enough of the care she has received. The staff are genuinely caring and friendly not just to patients but also to the family. My mothers requirements (dementia and unable to walk) are high needing turning regularly and fed (with a lot of patience), having food liquidised (actual meals not just fortified readymade). I have seen the chef doing his rounds taking orders and meals appear of high standard.
The best thing I can say is that when I leave after visiting I don't feel worried about her care, which I suppose is all we can hope for.
Thank you very much for the kind words. Our award is happy resident and happy families. I am really glad that our effort is obvious and appreciated. I will make sure my staff are aware of your comments. To add on, it is never difficult to be nice to a family member such as yourself and your father....

I will make sure my staff are aware of your comments. To add on, it is never difficult to be nice to a family member such as yourself and your father. The devotion you both show to your mom and wife is very much admirable and is inspiration for all of us to do and be even better.

My mother was at Oaklands for a relatively short space of time before she sadly passed away. However, I can without hesitation recommend Oaklands very highly. All the staff really cared for mum and did their utmost to make her time there as comfortable as possible. Her room was lovely; very spacious and they were extremely accommodating regarding the personal possessions she wanted around her. We were always informed of any updates in mum's care, the communication was excellent and myself and my brother had no doubts that mum was receiving the best possible care. We would like to express our deep and sincere thanks to everyone at Oaklands.
Thank you for your beautiful review and all the lovely words. It was our pleasure to look after your mother though unfortunately, it was not for a very long time. We are very pleased that we were able to make those last few weeks pleasant and comfortable for her. Thank you for choosing our home.

The staff are friendly and go out of their way to ensure the residents are comfortable and happy.
The Manager and Deputy Manager are always very responsible to any queries or concerns I have and keep me fully informed.
Visitors are welcomed at any time and there is a warm, informal atmosphere.
I work as a Health Professional myself and am very aware of how difficult working in this sector is , but Oaklands have made a marked improvement in my mum's general health and well-being.
I found the idea of placing my mum in a Nursing Home very difficult, and I looked around at a number of homes but feel I made the .right choice with Oaklands, and am relaxed that my mum is well cared for.
Thank you very much for your lovely review. We are very proud to hear that you are happy with your moms placement and you think she is looked after well. Thank you also for being so understanding and supportive during this building work.
My mum has been a resident at Oaklands Nursing Home for a few months now and I can't imagine her receiving better care anywhere else. My mum lived with me for nearly 3 years and the thought of handing over her care to someone else was a big concern for me. After visiting the home to take a look...
When Oaklands agreed they would be able to offer a home to my mum it was a huge relief, I knew she would be in the best possible place, receiving the best possible care. This has proved to be the case and I am very grateful to all the wonderful staff who look after my mum and make me feel so welcome when I visit.
Thank you.
Thank you for your beautiful review. It really means a lot to us when we receive feedback like yours. You looked after your mom very well and you are still helping us a lot which makes our job easier. We will definitely try to continue providing the best care for your mom. Thank you, Beti
