Oaktree Court Care Home Reviews (113)
Oaktree Court Care Home has a Review Score of 9.1 (9.084) out of 10, based on 8 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Oaktree Court Care Home has 113 reviews.
The home was very happy to accommodate our needs at short notice. They were extremely helpful in assisting us to sort out funding. Relatives were made to feel very welcome at all times and often asked if there was anything else they could assist us with. We were given plenty of privacy and allowed to treat the room as our home. Mum received very good nursing for her numerous and specific care needs.
Thank you, Christine, for your review and lovely comments which will be shared with staff.
The food is delicious and beautifully presented.
The staff are very kind and caring and totally respectful to the residents and visitors alike.
The home is extremely clean and the furnishings are kept clean and new looking.
The residents are stimulated with many activities and outings to interesting and fun places/experiences.
My aunt has been here since January and really loves it there.
Oaktree Court is in a lovely setting and has a really nice feel to it when you walk through the door, however, you can have the nicest looking care home and surroundings but what really counts are the staff. At Oaktree you get friendly faces no matter who it is and the staff are brilliant, they try to do their best for the resident and persevere to help them. My Mum (98) has, understandably, taken a while to settle in, having lost her independence but thanks to the dedication of the staff she is now much more settled, thank you every one. I would absolutely recommend this care home.
Thank you so much for your review. We strive at Oaktree Court to ensure all residents are well looked after and our carers are vital in making sure that this happens. I will make sure your comments are fed back to them all, thanks again!
Mum arrived at Oaktree with a very restrictive diet and whilst it took a few weeks to get into her rhythm the chefs used to meet with her daily to try to find dishes that would tempt her and were bespoke to her individual needs. Mum enjoyed the fact that staff took the time to get to know her as well as enjoying attending, when she felt up to it, the extensive activities put on by the very enthusiastic entertainments team.
The home offers a relaxed environment in lovely surroundings with staff who are chosen for their compassion. All staff at all levels are very approachable.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. Mum was such a welcome member to Oaktree's family and certainly brightened our days. She will be missed but remembered fondly by all our team at Oaktree.
We chose Oak Tree Court for my mother in 2011 where she lived till her recent passing on 7th Feb 2018. My mother was always happy at Oaktree Court and often praised the care of the staff and she had many friends there. On the last week of my mother's life, I stayed every night at the home along with my brother as we felt we couldn't leave my mother's side. All the staff were very professional and caring and really couldn't have done more for us. They provided camp beds for us so we could stay with my mother and were professional, kind, caring and went beyond what was expected of them. Thank you all at Oaktree Court.
All the staff are friendly and want to help. The two weeks I have spent here have been enjoyable.
Iw ould like to come more often but unfortunately, I have to fund myself so I have to be careful but will certainly not be looking anywhere else.
Thank you to the manager and his team.
Thank you Georgina, we do enjoy having you stay with us.
My father was a resident for the 2 months before he died. The outstanding features were the constant helpfulness of all the staff I met and their unfailing levels of care for my father, especially the day he died. The manager ran the home with the utmost professionalism.
Thank you Kate for taking the time to write a lovely review, which I will share with the staff. We also very much appreciate the support from your family in helping us to care for him so well.
I cannot praise Oaktree Court, they go above and beyond for the residents and when my mum was passing they were so lovely to all the family. My mum enjoyed it there and they made her last years pleasant.
My nan moved to Oaktree Court after the forced closure of her previous care home. She was treated kindly, with respect and dignity at all times. She was always clean, tidy and well fed. She loved the outings and fun the staff and residents shared together and could not have been in a better place for the last years of her life. At the end, the staff and management could not have been more caring and supportive of both her and us her family. I cannot rate Oaktree Court staff highly enough.
Thank you Michelle for putting down your thoughts and feelings in writing, I will ensure the staff are aware of all your comments. Your nan was a lovely lady, and we all enjoyed being part of her life at Oaktree Court.
One of the many factors which I like is they allow us to take our dog into see them, they love that. Also there are no set times so we can see them whenever we like.
We are very happy that they are very happy.
Thank you, Martyn, for a very comprehensive review of our home. With your help, we have been able to help your parents settle in very well, and they are both enjoying life at Oaktree Court to the full.
They covered his needs all the way and he was very happy there until the pain got too much.
There were lovely grounds for him to walk and eventually get taken around in a wheelchair.
Very clean and tidy.
Thank you Helen for taking the time to complete a review for the home. I will ensure the staff are aware of your comments.
End of life care for our relative was second to none up until his last breath was taken.
My husband received excellent care during his time at Oaktree Court. The staff were respectful, kind and thoughtful. His room was comfortable and warm. They made every effort to give him food that he liked and their communication with us, as his family, was excellent. We would particularly like to thank certain members of staff whose dedicated care and attention was greatly appreciated by both my husband and the family.
Thank you so much Beryl for taking the time to write a review. I will make sure the staff all get to read it.
My mother-in-law was poorly and her stay was necessary to regain some weight and ascertain her level of memory difficulties. This was achieved in her 3-week stay. The staff were extremely kind and professional.
The only concern I had whilst I was on holiday is that the phone was not always answered even in office hours and there is no answer phone. This made communication difficult whilst I was travelling.
Overall the care that she received far outweighed anything else and should the need arise, I would come back. It is the staff who make a home a success.
Many thanks for your review. During office hours we have admin staff who answer the phone. Out of these times the care and nursing staff are here, but they will always prioritise finishing what they are doing with the residents before answering the phone, which sometimes leads to a delay. It's...
My father, in his 90s, was looked after at Oaktree Court for the 6 months from January to June this year. We have nothing but praise for the carers and nurses (and management) that tended to his needs.
At Oaktree Court, the staff took the time and trouble to work him out as the complicated person that he was and then used every strategy they could to keep him clean and content, with wonderful success. He began to enjoy the banter, stopped asking to go home, and started to tell stories again about his life.
We are so grateful that he was able to end his life at Oaktree Court, peacefully with staff and family with him, and for the dignity in which he was able to spend his last month's thanks entirely to the lovely people who looked after him at the home.
Thank you Anthony, not only for your kind words, but also for the constant support you gave us when caring for your father.
The leadership and management are so friendly yet highly professional. We cannot fault it in any way whatsoever.
Thank you Rosemary, your review will be shared with the team, lovely to hear you feel supported so well.
Since my mother moved to Oaktree Court I have been very impressed with the high level of care offered. I was very anxious when my mother had a fall and required residential care. I reviewed all the care homes in our area and Oaktree Court offered everything my mothers needs required. Since my mother moved in, we as a family have been delighted with the choice of care home. All the staff are very caring and think of each individuals needs. Well done to all the staff and management at Oaktree Court.
Thanks Bob for taking the time to write a review about our home, I'm sure the staff will be delighted to read your comments.
She can visit only if driven there by somebody else due to her own disabilities and the staff go out of their way to make this as easy and relaxed as possible.
This and the individual care with which the staff show both of them makes a very difficult time for us all so much easier.I would highly recommend this care home to others.
Thank you Josie for all your support, it's a very complex situation but together I think we have helped overcome all the difficulties, and this has led to real happiness despite all the challenges they face together.
My elderly mother-in-law needed nursing care after a long hospital stay last year which left her more incapacitated. She was made very welcome to the well-kept and characterful residence by the whole team and settled amazingly quickly. As a family member, I felt supported and that the manager, nurses and carers were interested to hear about my mother-in-law's needs, from my perspective as her former carer. Although the limitations of age and infirmity have reduced her quality of life, the companionship of other residents and the wide choice of activities provided by the enthusiastic activities team, help to make my mother-in-law's life as interesting as it can be. Some of her health issues make it difficult to maintain her weight but due to the kindness, responsiveness and flexibility of the catering team, along with the vigilance of the carers, she is doing as well as we can expect and hope. I hope there are still places like Oaktree Court around if I ever need a similar service!
Thank you Daphne for your kind words which I will of course share with the team.
The first impressions of the home is a clean, bright environment, and none of the odours that are associated with some establishments.
The staff are patient and helpful, and nothing is too much trouble. Outings are arranged in the minibus, which residents enjoy enormously, and there are varied activities arranged such as quizzes, concerts, music and movement, and film shows.
There are beautiful grounds, which residents and their families are encouraged to enjoy where possible. Summer fetes and firework displays on Guy Fawkes night are just some examples of outside activities.
If we are honest, none of us wishes to end our days in a care home, but if we have to then Oaktree Court is as good as it gets.
