My mum was in the care home for 3 months before returning home but as things didn’t work out at home she returned back to Oakbank and was welcomed back by all the staff. She is treated with dignity and respect and the staff are always happy to help with any queries or help mum with any needs she has even though they are extremely busy they find the time for my mum, she is well looked after and kept safe and the food is my mums favourite, she has some lovely friendships with her carers there now which helps her social awkwardness and stubbornness as she has dementia and struggles to trust new people but at Oakbank nothing is to much trouble for mum and I thank all the staff for there kindness towards her.
Thank you for your review Katrina.

The staff are all very lovely, approachable and dedicated to the residents. They are organised and run a smooth home.
There were only 2 issues;
1) Shortage of staff - every single day was short staffed. Agency workers covered a lot of shifts and the residents do not know them.
2) Activities/days out. Is a small range of activities but are no outings, days out, cinema, lunch trips. All the residents I spoke with complained about the boredom.
My mum progressed so well in the care of Oakbank that she has now returned home. Something we (her family) did not think possible. I recommend and would be happy for my mum to return.
My experience in visiting my grandmother in this care home is that I feel satisfied with the care she is receiving. I feel she is happy here and contented and settled. The carers are friendly to me. I feel she's getting the help she needs and I'm happy for her to stay here for the upcoming future.

I have had no problems overall and if I have, I have had a chat with the staff or the manager over it. I like the care home, my dad has been upstairs for a few years, but now he is on the nursing side. My dad is very poorly and all the staff have been great to him, even the upstairs staff have come to see him. I think some of the agency staff they use could be more experienced and should know more of what to do.

In addition, the extra activities such as exercises, parties, entertainment and hair dressing services are great and well liked by my grandmother. Also, on the occasions when medical attention was required, this was dealt with speedily and professionally.
When I was 60 years old I went to Oakbank for respite when it was a small home! The staff at the time were great! Some of the staff are still here although its extension has gained more residents.

When I was 60 years old I went to Oakbank for respite when it was a small home! The staff at the time were great! Some of the staff are still here although its extension has gained more residents. It is still great to be in, I am now 84 years of age. My room is known as the "penthouse" there is a lift to it and it's my home now! The staff are still great to us all.
Oakbank Care Home is a lovely place. The staff are very good. I go all hours and the cleaning goes on 24-7. Food is very good.

When I first came to live at Oakbank, I was very unsure of myself but the staff made me very welcome. They can't do enough for all the residents and will go out of their way to help you. I can't thank them enough.

My brother has been in this home nearly three years. He has dementia. I am quite satisfied with his care. He is being well looked after. The staff and the carers are excellent.

I had been my uncle's carer for over 20years and not being a car driver I needed a home that was in easy reach for me to visit each day.
I visited a few homes before I made the decision to chose Oakbank.
Since my uncle has been at Oakbank all of the staff that are looking after him treat him with dignity and tender care.
As he is 91years old and has Dementia, I know he is kept safe and warm.
The staff are always very busy but even then they always find time for a quick word asking how I am.

Service user couldn't understand staff, wasn't cared for to the standard they thought they would be. The care they got was very,very degrading and extremely poor. Had no dignity what so ever and had no choice but to phone home from their mobile phone to get them to phone the nursing home for help. Would never recommend this home to other members of family or friends and will not be using it again.

I have always found the staff at this facility to be exceptionally dedicated and caring. Always helpful and polite to visitors when we came and above all they always treat my father with dignity and respect. I live abroad but feel confident to leave my dad in their care between visits. The only problems have been administration ones in getting them to send the invoices to me after the death of my mother.
