Management and staff are very welcoming and friendly, they found the time to talk to you and make you feel at ease. Past experience made it very hard for me to return to Oak Manor Nursing Home but the manager and receptionist were very tentative and understanding. Staff members took the time to find out more information/knowledge about my relative which made me feel that they will/are receiving the best care possible.

I witnessed good interaction and dementia training being applied by all staff which is lovely to see. The overall environment is relaxed and a positive experience for families and residents alike. I have great confidence in this manager and staff and I would recommend Oak Manor to anyone in need of dementia care.
I really appreciate the weekly updates and love seeing my father joking and laughing with the staff.

Having not been able to visit my mother for 2 years due to ill health I must say that I was overjoyed with the way the home is now run. The staff are wonderful, so clean and run with such efficiency. Totally made my visit so pleasurable the staff were so kind and treat everyone with such warmth and respect. I was very impressed with the manager totally in control, very energetic. Seems to me she is the best thing that has happened in the last two years and a credit to Oak Manor Nursing Home.
My sister was moved to your care home around 2017 from one not so suitable. Since she came to you, at Oak Manor Nursing Home, although she will always be unwell, she shows improvement, and I think that the staff who care for her are loving and kind. They seem to really care.

I went and saw my husband, and I was treated well. When I arrive, staff were polite and friendly. My husband looked well and happy; he enjoyed seeing me.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the very good care given to my husband by the nurses and so many carers. They gave my husband an extra year as he seemed on the way out when he arrived with infected skin problems. He had a very good room facing south which could not have been the same for other residents.
My father's vascular dementia meant that he lacked awareness of his disabilities. He was constantly at risk of inadvertent harm as a result.

My father's vascular dementia meant that he lacked awareness of his disabilities. He was constantly at risk of inadvertent harm as a result. The care he received at this home was outstanding, the staff enabling him to be as active as possible whilst attempting to minimise risk. They understood him as an individual and tried to enable him to live as full a life as possible. Despite the high level of disability of the residents, my observation was that the staff always treated the residents with respect and ensured cleanliness even though this was obviously challenging to achieve. I am very glad that my father has been a resident here.
Makes you feel welcome and one of the family.
Clean and tidy, smells clean and not old and damp.
Room is of a good size.
Need more investment in activities.

Can't rate it enough. Staff are all amazing, nothing is too much trouble and the care and understanding is second to none.

As you walk into the reception, you can feel a happy atmosphere which helps us visitors as we can sometimes feel sad but we soon feel cheered up.

After 3 over long months at another care home, Oak Manor is the third care home my wife has been in. In general, the staff at the previous two homes - influenced by poor management policies - lacked the skills and resources necessary. It is only at Oak Manor I have felt that my wife is safe and properly cared for. She clearly feels a part of the "family" and is no longer in need of me - although she is still happy to see me.

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.
