Overall Experience

When Mum first came to Oakdene, she was extremely frail and frightened, and detailed as 'end of life care'. The transformation in Mum since her arrival, just over three months ago, has been astonishing. At Oakdene Mum has found a new lease of life. The staff at Oakdene are all extremely friendly, helpful,

and are clearly committed to creating and maintaining a safe, caring, and stimulating environment. Nothing is too much trouble and everyone takes the time to get to know the residents as individuals. When I've sat chatting with a number of the residents, they have each told me that they are very happy at Oakdene and never feel lonely. As the daughter of a resident, I feel very welcome and that I can talk with the carers and management alike about Mum's progress or any care needs that she may have. Community seems to be important in Oakdene and family members are encouraged and welcome to come along to enjoy the various entertainers and seasonal events.

Reply from Linda Hurst, Home Manager at Oakdene Care HomeThank you so much for your kind words, these will be shared with all of the Team. Your mum has really benefited from the surroundings and 24-hour care. She has a purpose to her days and enjoys joining in with all of the activities that are on offer to her. She is loved by all at Oakdene and it is a pleasure and a privilege to care for her, and to have you in our family too.

Overall Experience

The improvement in my mother since her arrival from hospital is amazing. She was detailed as "end of life care" last June and has improved so much. She is happy and well cared for by all of the staff. The staff are friendly and helpful whenever I visit Oakdene. The home is very well run and management

are always available to chat about my mother's care needs.

Overall Experience

My partner had been nursed for eight weeks in bed while in hospital after having a stroke. I was unhappy with the care he was receiving, so I had him transfer to Oakdene Care Home for two weeks only. While there, he has received excellent care, privacy and dignity upheld, and the change in him has been

remarkable. I cannot thank the management and staff enough for all they have done for him and myself.

Reply from Linda Hurst, Home Manager at Oakdene Care HomeThank you for your kind and supportive words. The staff here at Oakdene work hard to create a homely, caring environment for residents and families alike. I am glad we were able to support your partner to get home to you for Christmas.

Overall Experience

My mother was admitted for respite care following a fall and hospital visit. She was made to feel welcome as soon as she went into the home. The pre-visit was helpful and informative and we appreciate the help in getting her from her home to the care home. She has settled well and is now much better

than she was. Although initially unsure, I believe she has welcomed the respite. Thank you to all the wonderful staff.

Reply from Lin Amos, Manager at Oakdene Care HomeThank you for taking the time to complete a review it is really appreciated by the team at Oakdene. Your mum is settling in well in to the Oakdene family.

Overall Experience

My mum came into the care of Oakdene Care Home in September 23; she never wanted to go into a home, but after a spell in the hospital, we had no choice. From the moment we came through the door, I felt at home from home for my mum. The staff are so friendly and can't do enough for us. The home is cosy

and clean, and the facilities are second to none. The food looks amazing, and what my mum eats, she really enjoys. Mum has settled in very well and is happy. There is always a member of staff popping their head in to see if all is okay. On pressing for assistance, my mum always receives prompt care or help she needs. I feel very lucky that I have found a special place for my most special mum, where all the staff are so wonderful and attentive.

Overall Experience

I can't thank the staff, manager and owner enough for the care they have given my mother - she came into their care on respite. Nothing has been too much trouble. Always a warm welcome and friendly face. She's been so happy with them, doing activities every day and giving her the reassurance that she's

needed. She's going to come home in a week, but if ever I need to call on their services again, I wouldn't hesitate, ten out of ten.

Reply from Lin Amos, Manager at Oakdene Care HomeI would like to thank you for taking the time to complete the review; it was a pleasure to have your mum in our home. I wish her well on her recovery journey, and we are always here should you need support again.

Overall Experience

Just needed to comment on this care Home. Thank you so much, you were so caring, all staff concerned were more than helpful, nothing too much trouble, made my mother in law so comfortable and felt safe and warm in her last few weeks. The care homely, always when I visited and that was every day for

three weeks at different times, was clean, and felt very family based, activities for residents were great, everyone made very welcome. Thank you so much for all you did for our mum in her few weeks with you.
