Dad is really well looked after by all the team. All the staff take time to get to know them and treat them all very well and with respect. The home is always very clean and tidy, but always feels very homely too. I feel at ease knowing that he is being well looked after.

Oakdale is a caring community that really goes above and beyond. They have taken the time to get to know my father and all his little quirks and treat him with great care and attention. The Care Home is frequently thematically decorated. Yesterday, everywhere was filled with red for Valentine's Day. It looked lovely. There is a warm welcome every time I visit, and there's always time for a chat or any questions. Activities, food, housekeeping and admin all add to the excellent care that my father is receiving from the nursing staff and carers. Well done, everyone!
We're delighted to hear that your father is happy and well-cared for. Our team works hard to create a positive and engaging atmosphere, and we're thrilled that it's making a difference. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Attended a very enjoyable summer fete. The staff must have worked very hard to make the afternoon fun for the residents and guests. The garden in which it was held was very well kept and with luck, the sun was shining.

I do not know how this establishment is allowed to care for people with dementia. My experience shows they haven't got a clue as many of the staff are not trained to care for people with dementia. They have a fun day to raise funds but in any care home where the management has any sense, it would not be appropriate as residents with dementia would become distressed with the proceedings. Avoid at all costs.

Lesley says: “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. My focus is on making those moments matter for our residents.”
Lesley has spent her whole career in care, with her roles taking her from nurse training to owning her own business in domiciliary care. She joins Oakdale having managed other nursing homes, and dementia-specific homes and has also owned and operated domiciliary care agencies throughout the southwest of England.
She believes that being a strong team is important and that managers in care must be “everything and more” to their team, to residents and to their families.
