I could not ask for any better care, from manager to cleaner. Everyone has time to speak to you, loving the improvements of deco/was dated.
We are happy that you are loving the decor improvements - watch this space as there is more to come!
Mum has been at Oaklands Nursing Home for 3 months now and has settled in really well. The whole team are amazing from management to housekeepers - everyone genuinely cares and shows such compassion and empathy. Residents are kept busy with lots of activities and the food is lovely. I wouldn't want my mum anywhere else.
Thank you for your lovely review. It is a pleasure to care for your Mum and we have passed your comments onto the team.
Visitors are warmly received even when the timing could be better
We have started a refurbishment programme so hopefully you will see the improvements to the home over the next few weeks
My sister-in-law has been in 'Oaklands' just over 3 weeks. During this time she has said that she feels safe and the staff who have been looking after her are very kind to her. She had to go to a hospital appointment last week. I would like to thank the management and staff for organising the transport and providing a member of staff to accompany her. She said that the member of staff was lovely and very kind to her. Thanks also to the staff for answering any questions we have asked when visiting and keeping us informed immediately when there was a change of date for a clinic appointment and reassured us that it would be organised by them. As we live a very long way away this is very much appreciated.
Thank you for your review, your kind words and feedback has been passed onto the team.
My uncle had to move into a home and Oaklands was recommended. As a family, we are very happy with the care received. Everyone is brilliant, couldn't fault a thing.
My mother has been living at Oaklands since July 2025. I have always found the home staff to be warm, respectful, welcoming and a hive of activity going on. The staff can't do enough for my mother, taking her out to local events, parks, cafes and shops. The management are readily available to help solve any minor issues if they arise. It's a wonderful place and I am so pleased we managed to get her in at Oaklands.
Rooms are a bit tight when using hoist. He enjoys the entertainment. Staff are friendly. Dad has no concerns either.
The staff are always visible and on hand if I need to ask them anything and they always have the time to talk even when I ring them. The day room which she sits in is lovely and bright and nicely decorated and the few times I have been to her bedroom it's always tidy. I receive emails with updates on her spending money, monthly events and any issues I need to know about. Thank you to all the staff at Oaklands it puts my mind at ease to know she is settled there.
Again the management are absolutely amazing & really do care about both there staff & residents.
The atmosphere is always welcoming whenever you visit no matter what time of day it is.
The food is delicious as all the food is home cooked on site. My mother in law (who doesn't usually remember things at all) couldn't wait to tell me about the homemade Chinese meal they'd had the day before!
I've worked in many homes in the past & also visited many more. I can honestly say that Oaklands is one of the very few that genuinely care about their residents. My mother in law is very happy there & always has a big beaming smile on her face whenever we visit.
It's put my faith back into care homes & we thank you so very much for everything u do.
The staff are lovely and work so hard.
Great care/nursing home, fantastic staff, lots of activities for everyone, food excellent, very clean environment, management extremely courteous to everyone, I certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend Oaklands to anyone.
The staff and carers are so welcoming and friendly and make you feel so homely, my ad has come a long way thanks to them honestly the best. The location is well suitable to our needs and even the residents there are so friendly and allway smiling away bless them.
My father-in-law is a very quiet man with dementia. The changes in his personality since being at Oaklands is lovely and heartwarming to see. He joins in the activities and is first to want to go out on their many outings. He interacts with the staff and we can see he has come to know them as 'friends' now rather than carers.
The food on offer at every meal can only be described as tasty and tempting and he is certainly eating all that's on offer.
As a family we feel so much more at ease knowing he is happy and being well looked after.
We can't ask for anything more.
Our Dad & Grandad lived at Oaklands for over 2 years. Sadly he passed away a few days ago. I cannot speak highly enough about the care given to him over the years and months. Everyone has been fantastic, culminating in the delicate care, concern and the dignity afforded to his family in his last days and hours. Thank you soooo much to every member of Oaklands staff!
My father has been at Oaklands Nursing Home for nearly 1 year and he's settled in really well. The home is always clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. The staff are excellent and there are numerous activities to keep everyone interested and stimulated. It's so reassuring to know that after my visits, my father is safe, happy and with his friends. I really wouldn't want my father to be anywhere else.
I can't fault Oaklands Nursing Home and it's staff. My dads a stubborn and proud man who strives for independence and while that's not always possible for him Oaklands offer him patience, understanding and his dignity.
The care home was excellent, very caring and friendly staff. Management of the care home were absolutely brilliant, can't thank them enough for the care my husband received. It was like he was in a 5-star hotel not a care home, would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of care for a relative or partner.
My mum was sent to Oaklands Nursing Home from Burnley General it was not chosen by the family. I have worked in care homes earlier in my life and I can't say how pleased I was when I first went in to visit Mum. I knew it was going to be good for Mum and her needs the place was lovely and clean always and the staff were fantastic nothing was too much trouble and they treated you like old friends. I was worried that at one point they might have moved mum nearer to home but thankfully she got to stay and I couldn't thank them enough for the care and understanding they gave my mum.
They have activities everyday, including singers, trips out etc. My gran, unfortunately was very poorly and bedridden, but they made sure she didn't miss out, activities went to her, and the smile on her face said it all.
All the staff were brilliant and like family, every one of them are an asset to the profession and worth their weight in gold! They made sure gran was happy and content 24/7. The management couldn't do enough for us as a family, nothing was ever too much, from the kind receptionist ringing us daily, to sitting with them and having a brew and a chat. Would highly recommend Oaklands to anyone.
December 2022 - February 2024 My Grandma was in Oaklands for 14 months, we had looked round a couple of other homes but Oaklands just stood out, the cleanliness, facilities and the relationships the staff had built with the residents, we knew that's where our special lady would spend her final months. Oaklands allowed my Grandma to do that with dignity, pain free and familiar faces each day which helped us and my grandma to build relationships with staff that us as a family now class as friends, who we could trust to care for her. I visited my grandma most days, she was always clean, comfortable and happy. Oaklands go above and beyond for their residents and their families, Oaklands staff were particularly good with my Grandad. One thing that did stand out for me with Oaklands was the amount of activities that were on offer for the residents, they would have a full timetable each week and the food if residents didn't want something they would offer them alternatives to suit. Oaklands is a special place.

I have worked at Oaklands Nursing Home since 2008 and have worked in all the departments within the home. I found that I got great satisfaction working as a care assistant because I could really get to know our ladies and gentlemen and support them with all their needs. I love seeing our ladies and gentlemen enjoying their life within our home. It’s great to know that I have made a difference and seeing the ladies' and gentlemen’s smiles is heartwarming. Within the last couple of years, I have enjoyed my career development at Oaklands, progressing from a Care Assistant to a Senior Care Assistant and I am now currently the Deputy Manager. I am looking forward to my further development and supporting the service to ensure that we continue to give the excellent service that Oaklands is renowned for.
