My mum had respite care for 1 week in June 2026. Overall Mum's experience was very positive informing me that the staff were very polite and helpful and that she was treated with dignity. On visiting mum I also noticed how the staff interacted and had no hesitation on thinking that mum would be well looked after.
On our most recent visit to see Margi my lovely Mum in law, we were very pleased to find her happily enjoying an afternoon cuppa & cake. Sat with another lady at a table, happily listening to some fabulous tunes from the 60's & 70's. Although Margi is suffering from dementia and not the wild dancing queen she used to be, I know she would be benefiting from the music and the memories that it might awaken. We were made welcome by all the staff and offered drinks. The home was well kept, clean & tidy, whilst still feeling homely. I noticed some residents having treatments, for what I thought might be circulatory issues. I saw another lady resident happily looking at her freshly painted nails. On previous occasions we have been able to bring our very friendly dog to visit Margi, which always makes her and the other residents smile. We are extremely happy and content knowing Margi is receiving the very best of care at Oaktree
Thank you for your kind words and review for Oaktree Hall and Lodge. We are delighted to hear about your positive experiences at the home and that you are happy with the care your family member receives. Your comments are much appreciated.
On arrival for the first meeting l was greeted by very polite staff which made me feel confident in the care that my cousin would be receiving and after some weeks l was not disappointed the care he was receiving was very professional , as an ex nurse for most of my life l was very happy with his care
Thank you for your kind words and feedback about Oaktree Hall and Lodge Care Home. Our team take huge pride in the care they provide so your positive review is much appreciated.
We have always been made very welcome and find the staff helpful and caring. My friend seems very happy here and is well looked after.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home . Your kind words are much appreciated and we look forward to seeing you on your next visit.
My Brother went into OAKTREE in Bridlington in October 2025. And to be honest if Melvin hadn't come in when he did, he probably wouldn't be with us now. 3 month's ago he was very under nourished, very unwell because he wasn't taking his medication. He was dirty, depressed, and wouldn't communicate with any of us because he was very confused. NOW he is doing amazingly, he is healthy, put weight on, clean and no longer depressed... NOT just that but he has decided that he doesn't want to leave. He was taken for 8 weeks rest bite and is now a permanent resident. The staff are wonderful, caring, and the atmosphere is always nice. Our family are a lot more relaxed because we know he is happy, healthy and safe. OAKTREE is a lovely place, But the staff make Oaktree a special place..
Thank you for taking the time to review our home . What a fabulous success story . We are delighted at how he has settled in and the progress he has made . Your kind words are greatly appreciated and I will of course share them with the Oaktree family .
Our very good friend Shiela has come here for respite as her husband is in hospital. The staff are very helpful & friendly. The home is lovely & warm & inviting.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home following your friends respite stay . I will of course share your kind words with the Oaktree family .
Mums room is a good size for her personal belongings and plenty of room if she wants to sit and watch TV on her own. She is fussy with food, can complain in cafes and restaurants but has never complained about food at Oak Tree quite the opposite so full compliments to the chef!
We are more than happy with Oak Tree, cannot recommend the staff and facilities enough and will always be grateful for giving us peace of mind knowing mum is safe and happy in the care of genuine people.
Thank you all, Lisa and family

Our mam has been in Oaktree's care now for over 2 months and we are delighted by the excellent standard of care, the definite improvement in mam's health and wellbeing and the high levels of socialisation and personal, friendly, attentive contact she and we receive from happy and motivated staff. This care home stands out from the moment you arrive at the stunning building in a beautiful setting. The decor and care inside are equally wonderful. My sister and I and families are delighted. Mam couldn't be in a better place of care. Sending our very grateful thanks and highest compliments to the hard-working, helpful, cheerful, knowledgeable, sincere and excellent caring staff and management of Oaktree Hall who excel in all they do.
Thank you for choosing Oaktree Hall & Lodge for your Mum's care and taking the time to recognise the great service The Oaktree family provide . Your kind words are greatly appreciated and i will of course pass them onto the team
Dad was admitted to Oaktree towards the end of 2024, their care was unquestionably very good. The team care for not only the residents but also their families taking the time to 'check in' and 'care'. Dads care needs became 'challenging' in the few months that he was there causing more work for the staff but they coped very well and were always reassuring to us and him. The team quickly became like an extended family to us all we will always be forever grateful for their care and support through his final few months.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home anf recognising the great work the team at Oaktree Hall & Lodge provide .You're all missed at the home . Thanks again for your kind words and I will of course share them with the Oaktree family .
Mum is now at Cakthree on a permanent basic and she loves it!
Thank you all at Oaktree.
Thank You for taking the time to review our home . It is always great for our teams to be recognised for the great care and support they provide . Thanks again for choosing Oaktree Hall & Lodge and I will of course make sure the Oaktree family receive your kind words
She has partaken in the activities and spoke about them when I visited. Since moving in permanently, she is happy, looks better than she has for a long time, her general health has improved and she is well nourished.
All of the staff are friendly and helpful and finally, I can sleep knowing she is safe and looked after.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words about Oaktree Hall & Lodge ! We're thrilled to hear that you and your Mum are having such a positive experience with us. It's always rewarding to know we're making a difference, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
We had heard some poor reviews about the standard of care, the food and the general wellbeing experienced by previous residents, however, if I was to be totally honest, the majority of these were, here say so we remained open minded.
Whilst initially, my mother did experience some issues, in the first few days, with the food not being warm enough, this was always immediately addressed to her satisfaction.
This was the only minor issue my mother experienced.
Every single other aspect of the care home was exemplary, all of the staff, without exception, are superb and epitomise the meaning of the word 'CARE'.
Nothing is ever too much trouble for them, they treated mum with respect, with compassion when needed, they listened and they enabled mum to keep her dignity right up to the moment she passed away.
I cannot recommend Oak Tree enough. Thank you
Many thanks for taking the time to review our home . It was a pleasure to care for your Mum and she is missed by all at the home . Your kind words are greatly appreciated and I will of course pass them on to the Oak Tree family .
I cannot praise it enough, the care he was given, it was excellent and he was so happy there. Food was good and the staff tried so hard with entertainment and raffles and relatives were made so welcome.
So thank you once again, all the caring staff.
Thank you so much for sharing your kind words about Oaktree Hall & Lodge.

This has been the worst decision of my life to put my dad in their care. It has been an ongoing issue with this care home of inadequate care for residents. I just hope the social services intervene and get him moved to a more caring environment.
Thank you for sharing your concerns. We appreciate how difficult and emotional this time must be for you and your family, and we're sorry to hear that you feel this way about your dad's care. Please know that we take all feedback seriously and are fully committed to ensuring the well-being of every...
This is the second time my Husband has had respite care in this home. It is very clean and the staff are welcoming and informative. Again he has put weight on so the food must have been good. He was happy and joking with the staff when I collected him after his stay but within six days he is back to this miserable man who only wants to sit in a chair, not speaking, and says he is waiting for God. What more can I say?
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're delighted to hear that your husband had a positive stay at Oaktree Hall & Lodge Care Home, enjoying the welcoming atmosphere, good food, and friendly interactions with our staff. We understand how challenging it can be to see...
My aunt came here for end-of-life care, she was treated with compassion and dignity by everyone, they treated me the same way when she passed. The staff are so friendly and kind, nothing is too much for them, and they made my aunt's last weeks very comfortable.
Thank you for sharing your experience at Oaktree Hall & Lodge. We are deeply grateful for the trust you placed in us during such a sad time. It was our honour to care for your aunt and provide comfort to her and your family in her final weeks. Our staff strives to treat all our residents and their...
First visit to Oaktree to see Step Mum, who moved in recently. A nice and warm place, cosy and homely. Care workers are very friendly, helpful, and informative. Step Mum is more alert and able to communicate, since the move. Good to know that there is a new care plan in place and proper record-keeping.
Delighted to hear your stepmum is settling in well and that you've noticed positive changes. We're committed to providing a supportive and homely environment at Oaktree, and it's reassuring to know that our care plan and team are making a good impact. Thank you for the kind review.
First visit to my Nan at Oaktree. The staff are very friendly and thorough. Lovely home and décor, very warm and cosy. My Nan seems very happy here so far.
We appreciate your positive feedback. It's wonderful to know your Nan is happy and you've had a pleasant first visit at Oaktree. Thank you for sharing.
