Bearing in mind I have not actually been in Mum's room, only seen it from the outside. I have only seen Mum in the garden and I recall one occasion in July, we were sitting in the garden. Everyone spaced 2 meters apart for Coronavirus. Soft music playing, a trolley came round with tea and soft drinks. Mum looked so content. The staff are lovely! Mum is very happy now.
Oaklands is a small and friendly care home with a good feel of harmony between residents and staff. Small enough to be personal but big enough to meet most needs.

My stay so far has been very settling because the staff treat us so well, you could say home from home and nothing is too much trouble for them, but they are very rushed when short-staffed, mainly at meal and changeover times.

Good to hear that you are settling well at Oaklands. And thank you for giving us excellent scoring! On behalf of Oaklands Management and Care Staff Team, I would like to extend my sincerest apologies for your experience with the staff being rushed when short-staffed, mainly at mealtimes and changeover times. I have spoken to the staff regarding this concern. I do know, that this happens. During mealtimes, staff will be allocated to assist residents according to their individual needs. Some residents needs may take time to be assisted, and for those who are independent with their meals, staff may appear to rush in serving their meals. This might be the incident that you are referring to. We pride ourselves in giving the best care and be fair to all residents. We strive to continue to improve the quality of our service and we appreciate your feedback. Rest assured that we will take your concern seriously and discuss this in our daily handover.Any further issues, please don't hesitate to speak to me anytime.

My Dad now lives in this nursing home. We were a bit apprehensive at first to leaving but found that after the first week he was comfortably settled in and the care staff are brilliant with him as we know he can be a bit grumpy. He gets along with all carers (he has his favourites ha!). He loves the food, never seen him eat so much. They all look after his needs. Well done to them all.
This is a very well run nursing home where the regular staff seem to be dedicated to the welfare of the residents in general and my wife in particular.

All the needs of my wife have been met as they have been made to staff. One Saturday I was unwell whilst visiting my wife and a carer asked the nurse to look at me. As a result of the tests he did, my son took me to local A&E. Three days later I had a pacemaker fitted and the hospital doctors stated that it was lucky I was at a home where there was a qualified nursing person.
Fantastic care and compassion shown by the team but especially a particular staff nurse and carer. The two are a great asset and were fantastic in the care of my mum.

Following her degree in Modern Languages (French, German, Russian), Nidhi pursued a career at Deloitte where she qualified as a Chartered Accountant. Nidhi officially joined the family at Oaklands Nursing Home in November 2008, initially focusing on business development, quality assurance, day-to-day administration, contracts, billing and purchasing.
Her knowledge of the Home and its processes were paramount during the Home’s changes in Management in 2018. She worked closely with new Management, Social Services, and the Clinical Commissioning Group to assist in a smooth transition.
Since then, with a stable Management structure in place, Nidhi has been able to concentrate on Governance and oversight of the home, including her favourite part of all - talking to the residents!

After her Master's in Cognitive Science (studying the brain from birth to old age), Vidhi committed her time to Oaklands in September 2006, introducing quality assurance systems to the home, setting out and sharing the business plans and vision, and connecting the Home with the community and volunteers. Her Dutch family took her to the Netherlands in 2011, where she pursued a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics and worked as a Community Dietitian for five years in Amsterdam, specialising in Diabetes, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Underweight. Vidhi brought this knowledge and her person-centred driven practices back with her on her happy return to Oaklands in 2022. Now, as well as Governance, she enjoys getting involved in clinical discussions at the Home, ensuring Nutrition is brought to the forefront of practices, to optimise health and quality of life.
