Stephen, thank you for your lovely comments. Your sister-in-law is a joy to care for, and we thoroughly enjoy welcoming the family, especially on such special occasions. Your feedback will be shared with the team.

Our recent visit to my sister was on her birthday. The home had gone to great lengths to make this "big" birthday very special for her - a singer in the morning and lunch with her family, a special cake chosen by my sister, with balloons and banners. She is happy here; (all) staff are so kind and supportive, treating her (and all the residents I have observed) with respect and dignity. I would highly recommend Oak Manor to anyone needing care.
Hillary, thank you for taking the time to leave us such a fantastic review! We're happy to hear that your sister is so happy at Oak Manor. The care and services we deliver as a team to our residents and families are extremely important to us. I will pass on your kind comments to the whole team.

All workers at the home are so friendly and happy. They always speak and wave to the residents and to the visitors as well. Visitors are always asked if they want tea or coffee and how they want it made. Residents are very well looked after and asked if they want to participate in craft work, dancing or singing. My mum is taken to Church, which she really loves, and is taken good care of when she is outside of the home. My mum is very happy there and loves doing the things they do there which she never did at home. There is nowhere better for her.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a fantastic review, Daphne! We're happy to hear that your mum enjoys the activities and visits that we organise.

I have found Oak Manor to be a first-class home. The staff are caring, and responsive to the needs of the residents, and nothing seems to be too much trouble. They all go about their work with a smile on their faces and a desire to make the lives of the residents as fulfilling as possible. The administrative staff are also most helpful, so all questions are immediately answered, and any special requests are dealt with. Overall, I could not wish for my wife to be in a better environment.
We are so pleased to read your wonderful comments about the care your wife receives at Oak Manor. Thank you for your positive comments regarding our home and staff, who work hard to deliver high standards of quality care at all times.

I have found Oak Manor warm and clean, the staff very friendly, and my partner has settled into a happy and comfortable life. He is now in a safe place, and the level of support is second to none. An excellent choice.

I am very pleased and relieved that my mum is a resident at Oak Manor after a prolonged stay in the hospital. In the short time since her admission, she has become much more settled, which is a testament to the kind and knowledgeable staff, who have all been excellent in making her comfortable and welcome. I have been a regular visitor and have always been greeted warmly, and nothing has been too much trouble. The management and nursing team are excellent in their breadth and depth of knowledge, which is reassuring as my mum can have erratic behaviours due to dementia. This level of support and care runs through the home, which really feels like a "home". Thank you, Oak Manor.
Mark, we are so pleased to read your wonderful comments about the care your mum is receiving at Oak Manor and that your experience of the home on your visits showcases how we strive to ensure our residents feel this is their home. I will make sure I share this feedback with the team.

There was always something lovely going on when we visited the home, singing, dancing, gardening, quizzes, relaxation, reading, and art to name a few.

We are so pleased to read your wonderful comments about the care your brother receives; the team were thrilled with your feedback as we strive for person-centred care for all our lovely residents. It's lovely to read that you had a great time and your brother is happy with us. Thank you for your review.
Found the front of house staff very pleasant and efficient. Only visited outside due to staff with positive Covid tests, but only too helpful with all requests.

I’ve always wanted to work in care – it is my passion, and I feel extremely fortunate to be the home manager at Oak Manor.
I began my career in care by volunteering at a nursing home, and I loved every second of care home life. As I became a senior carer, I decided I would fulfil my dream of becoming a nurse, studying adult nursing and gaining a first-class degree. As a qualified nurse, I drive the highest standards of person-centred care. Although I love being a nurse, I also love being a manager, with the ability to influence positive change, which I get great satisfaction from.
Getting to know the people we care for, seeing them happy and improving their lives holistically is one of my greatest motivations. Our residents must always be the centre of all we do. When residents choose to make Oak Manor their home, every day will remain just as they like it, with careful note taken of their preferences, from waking times to food choices, hobbies and interests.
We are here for you and your loved ones every step of the way to help, and we will do all we can to put our residents and their families at ease. The most important thing is that they are happy.
