Oakwood House Care Home

The staff I met at Oakwood are a credit to the caring profession and I have no hesitation in recommending them for Nursing Care

For care and recuperation following operation. Total care with nursing as necessary experienced. Attention and support brilliant. Food and drink wonderful, just let down by a few disappointing meals. Otherwise a big thank you.

When shown around I knew Oakwood House would be perfect for Dad. All the staff smiled and said hello. The bedroom appeared fresh, clean and suitably furnished and there was a mix of communal areas and gardens. I was very impressed with the speed with which Dad could be accommodated and the efficiency of the administration. Dad received a warm welcome and once settled it was clear that the staff are brilliant. There is always someone on hand to help residents and visitors. Communication with all areas is friendly and efficient. Residents and family's individual needs are noted and well attended to. I would definitely recommend.

My mother spent her last 20 months at Oakwood House following an earlier brief respite stay. The home has a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere, in a calm leafy setting. It is well managed and issues are dealt with promptly. Although my mother was in her late 90s and frail, I appreciated how staff always respected her individuality and particularly her desire to keep a little independence through walking short distances for as long as possible. Her care was adjusted sensitively as her needs changed.

She was always treated with kindness and good humour, not just by the highly efficient nursing and care staff but by all the people who combine to make Oakwood a comfortable home, including the housekeeping, activity, maintenance and catering teams. The reception staff were also infallibly welcoming and helpful. Many staff members felt like friends and I am very grateful for the warm welcome I always received and the incredible kindness shown to my family at the end.

Our mother was moved to Oakwood House for end of life care.After spending many weeks there it felt like home from home.Words cannot express the exceptional care and compassion our mother as well as we received.Every single person and professional at Oakwood are truly remarkable people.The housekeepers, maintenance, reception staff, the nursing staff and management all gave our mother and our family a sense of real understanding and warmth.Everyone was really personable and couldn't do enough to support her, doing the finer details like adding a bird feeder outside her window and continuing to involve her in activities in her room.As well as the kindness that was shown, the team was also incredibly professional and were able to explain stages in our mother's deteriation clearly.This enabled us as a family to prepare ourselves for the inevitable.When our mother passed,amongst our grief,everyone remained steadfast in the consoling and grief process, for this we will be eternally grateful.

We have been into many different homes and without fail, Oakwood is far best the one for everything residents of any age would require. The cleanest, well run with first class people looking after residents 24/7. We would recommend anyone to its place. Well done. It does not smell like most homes.

Mum has had a stroke and since going to the home, we always get a friendly welcome from reception or front house.When we ask staff for anything it's done straight away, nothing is to much trouble. Our visits are so much nicer as we know mum is being really cared for. Everything is catered for.

After my mum had a very long stay in hospital which was not the best experience we were offered a place for mum at Oakwood House. So far we have been very impressed with the care mum is receiving, all the staff are very attentive and nothing is too much trouble. We are frequent visitors, so much that the reception/front of house staff know us by name and are always happy to help. Oakwood house has taken the stress out of the relentless hospital visits where visiting is a lot more relaxed and comfortable. Although mums not able to participate in activities they have daily activities to keep the residents entertained and the staff try and encourage everyone to join in. Overall we are finding Oakwood to be the best place for my mum and are very happy.

The best care was given to our father in the final weeks of his life. Thank you

Excellent care from the staff looking after my father. Especially one carer & night nurse.

Always very clean. The staff are always happy, polite and helpful and there are a lot of activities and entertainment put on.

This was my first experience of staying in a care home. The service was good and I have never met so many caring helpers before. I would be comfortable staying in Oakwood House again.

The staff could not have been more caring and empathetic towards her, without exception, regardless of the team member. There must be a very good manager at this home.

I have really enjoyed by stay in Oakwood House, the staff are all very kind and caring. No complaints at all. A real pleasure being here. I will miss all the company. I arrived on 21st November and returned home on 17th December. A lovely 4 week stay. Thank you.

Our son has settled in well after a month.

Well done Oakwood House keep up the great work.

From the day my partner moved to Oakwood House from the hospital. He improved so well in a matter of weeks. I found all the staff to be pleasant, and helpful regardless of their role within the home and interacted with my partner on a daily basis. In my opinion, they went over and above. I cannot fault them. The activities, the food, the care and how they made you feel important and part of the family.

I'm very happy and content living here with everything and everybody. The food is excellent and the staff are superb.

Overall pleased with care and support my grandad has received since being with Oakwood. Incredibly polite and friendly staff (specific mention to the young receptionist - always smiling). Nothing appears too much trouble for staff, demonstrating an excellent approach to their care. Great selection of activities on a weekly basis which keeps him smiling too!

My aunt eats very little and I do wonder if her diet could be more varied if more thought were given. I know she refuses most food other than yoghurt. It would have been good to meet the manager/deputy manager when my aunt was admitted, although the receptionist is excellent and other staff members are very good. Many thanks.
