Difficult to make a meaningful assessment. He is and has been incapacitated for five years and cannot communicate. He is, however, being well looked after and nursed.

Overall Experience
The care my aunt has received has been second to none. I have been kept informed by Oakdene nurses and carers plus doctor on her changing condition.
I can't thank the staff enough for the way she has been looked after, particularly through a difficult time.

My cousin enjoys living at Oakdene and is very happy there. She is well looked after, just needs a little more help with her clothes.

My mother has been in Acorn Lodge for almost a year and during that time we have been very pleased with the choice of Oakdene for my Mother. As well as the excellent care and cosy environment, we have been impressed with the overall improvement in my mother's mental and physical wellbeing. A comfortable home I would highly recommend.

My mother has been in Acorn Lodge since February this year and is like a new person. The care she has is excellent, with caring and happy carers around her.
Nothing is too much trouble and Mum always looks clean and well dressed. The food is good and there is plenty of it, with time taken to feed the people unable to feed themselves, but its the little extra which makes the difference.
Whilst it's been hot, there has been ice cream in the afternoon and homemade cakes every afternoon.

We are always made very welcome and it's absolutely wonderful for me as Mum's previous carer to see her so happy and stimulated. Thank you to all the staff of Acorn for giving Mum some quality of life back.

My father was happy at Oakdene. All the staff were very considerate, professional and caring.
My father had vascular dementia and his food preferences were always taken into consideration. His right to choose was upheld throughout his stay.

As soon as my wife and I walked into Oakdene, we felt it was the right place for my mother. The kindness and understanding of the staff, the bright, clean rooms, and the active care of the residents we saw made the choice an easy one. From the day my mother arrived into a room filled with her favourite pictures and orchids, she relaxed. The staff always made time to tell us what Mum had been doing and how she was. They made huge efforts to get her into the garden, which she loved. They gave her food she enjoyed, even when, towards the end, her preferences were a little unusual. At all times we felt her mental well-being, as well as her physical comfort, mattered to everyone. Staff chatted to her, knowing stories about her life that we hadn't told them. If someone you love needs care, we can't recommend Oakdene highly enough. Whilst not cheap, it is certainly not the most expensive around, and the homely environment and standard of genuine care given by the staff here is beyond price.

My mother moved to Oakdene in November 2018, it was a huge thing for her and my father who had been married 64 years. From our first meeting with staff, through her traumatic move to her new home until her end of life care, all the staff we met were kind, caring and thoughtful. I was very happy to leave my mum in the care of the staff who looked after her so well.
The whole family were welcome to visit at any time and we always found the home to be spotlessly clean, and food served was of an excellent standard. I would not hesitate to recommend if a family member could no longer stay in their own home.

Overall Experience
The care my mother is shown on a regular basis is exceptional. I can visit anytime and she is always safe, well cared for and enjoying the company of other residents. Meals are well balanced and the facilities are clean.

Our first hand experience of Oakdene was simply outstanding from the moment we contacted them about my mum, who had vascular dementia. All the staff were kind, considerate and caring. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Oakdene is always spotless and clean and smells as fresh as a daisy, unlike many of the other care homes we viewed. It really does not feel like a care home facility at all, much more like a friendly hotel!
With lots of little human touches, every guest is treated with respect and dignity. In a sea of mediocrity, Oakdene truly is a shining light that makes the process and experience for both residents and their families a caring and positive one.

Oakdene Nursing & Care Home is a good care home with very caring staff.
They do offer lots of activities and I especially like the fact they bring animals into the home as they relieve stress.

I am not so impressed by the large amount of cost increases seen this year with no extra services.

My only concern is the two price rises in the last 2 years equating to over 20%.

The staff are what makes this care home so good.
They are very considerate and show great sensitivity to the residents and their relatives.

The best compliment that I can pay them is that when I drive away I am confident that mum is comfortable and very well looked after.
