Review from Adele L (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 March 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Cannot praise all the staff enough for taking such good care of my mum. I have finally found somewhere that when I go away she's getting the same care and attention I give her.
I would highly recommend this home if you have a loved one who needs care.
↩Reply from Kelly Fitzgerald, Director at Oakdene Care Home

Review from Beth A (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 21 September 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I cannot thank the manager and her team enough for the care given to my Grandma.
In her her last few weeks nothing was too much for the home and it made a very difficult period a little easier.
