Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. We have worked hard to ensure a good service is provided at Oak Manor and feedback like yours really validates this. I will ensure the staff team see your review.
All the staff and carers are friendly and helpful. The rooms, bathrooms and other facilities are spotlessly clean. When moving in we were given all the information and help needed to make it as stress-free as possible.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I too am pleased that the transition went as smoothly as it could as I’m so happy that your Mum has settled in well with us. I will be sure to pass your feedback on to our care and domestic staff teams. Thank you again.
We live approx 110 miles away but visit once a month so we needed a good reliable care home and are lucky our friend is in this one. Our friend is so well looked after he looks better and younger than he did five years ago.

I have been a volunteer at Oak Manor for nearly a year now, I visit with my dog once a week and also join in with craft activities. I have to say I am very impressed with the quality of staff, they all seem very caring and hard working. The building itself is very well maintained and the resident's rooms are always clean, tidy and have the feeling of individuality. I have watched friendships develop and there is always a warm welcome from both staff and residents.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are also very proud of the team that we have developed and we pride ourselves on making Oak Manor the residents’ home. We welcome all of our volunteers. I would personally like to thank you for all of your input over the last year and I hope there are many more years to come.

Mum has been at the home for about 6 months. She seems to be very happy, she has dementia and so not completely aware. The care she receives is excellent. The carers are superb, very attentive and considerate. The surroundings are very comfortable. She has a lovely room with a door to the outside.
It is a pleasure to visit her there as it is such a happy place.
Thank you so much for this fantastic feedback – it is really appreciated by me and the team. It’s so lovely to hear your view of Oak Manor – we try our best to be the best we can be each and every day and feedback like this lets us know we’re on the right track. Many thanks again.
Some carers are fantastic, others need prompting. The activities co-ordinator is amazing, everyone loves her and she is fantastic with them.

Mum has flourished due to all the TLC in Oak Manor. Her confidence and enjoyment for life have returned.
Thank you for this wonderful feedback about Oak Manor. It’s so nice to see your Mum participating in activities and watching her become part of our community over the last seven months and I’m so pleased that you are able to see this too. Thank you.
Dad settled in immediately. Very friendly, caring environment. I was nervous at first as dad lived in a different county, I didn’t need to worry. Dad loves his room, the staff are very caring and friendly. I am always made welcome when I visit, which is most days.

Coffee lounge is lovely, dad’s friends have visited a couple of times, they enjoy having coffee and biscuits on their visit.
Thank you for this lovely feedback. Your Dad has settled in well at Oak Manor and, as you said, benefits from the accessibility of the café area and the privacy of his own bedroom. I’m so pleased to hear from you that he loves his room – he has really joined the Oak Manor community.
My dad has dementia and after caring for my mum found it hard to rely on others. When he chose to go to a care home I felt I had let him down but his friends have said how well he is and how this was the best thing I could have done for him. He still finds it hard to understand where he is...
My dad has dementia and after caring for my mum found it hard to rely on others. When he chose to go to a care home I felt I had let him down but his friends have said how well he is and how this was the best thing I could have done for him. He still finds it hard to understand where he is sometimes but he always feels safe and happy at Oak Manor. The staff all know his name which helps him feel at home from home. I cannot thank staff enough for what they do and how they have helped us both.
Thank you so very much for your kind words about Oak Manor. As a team we do our best to make sure everybody is welcomed. We understand that this can be a difficult time for relatives as well as residents and we try to make the process as smooth as possible. I am so pleased that your Dad has settled in and has become part of our community.

Cecilia has worked in care since the age of 18, originally training as a nurse in Romania. She brought her passion and dedication for care to Oak Manor in 2018 and was promoted from Senior Care Assistant to Deputy Home Manager and then to Home Manager in 2023. In addition to her nursing qualification, Cecilia holds a Level 5 NVQ in Health and Social Care.
One of her proudest moments was when Oak Manor received Shefford Town Council's Civic Award in recognition of its work to build strong community links, reduce isolation, and create opportunities for people of all ages to connect. Cecilia said: "At MHA Oak Manor, we believe in creating a home where everyone feels valued, connected, and supported—and this award reaffirms that those efforts are making a real difference."
Outside of work, Cecilia enjoys crafting, reading, and travelling. She loves discovering new places, especially those rich in history.
