Oakdale Care Home

The Oakdale Care Home took in my mother-in-law at short notice due to a traumatic experience in another home. The staff were extremely welcoming and went out of their way to make this respite experience a great one. The luxury accommodation and gardens are superb. The permanent residents seem at home and enjoy the activities, food and care. It is a difficult time for vulnerable adults to be in a different environment to their one home with strangers but Oakdale has really tried to make this transition work. The nurse is also available 24 hours which is added reassurance as my mother-in-law was recovering from an acute illness and needed reablement to be independent again at home.

Very friendly and helpful staff. My father-in-law is very well looked after, always clean and tidy with fresh clothes daily.

The home is very comfortable, calming and well-run. The staff are extremely good at their job, well trained and extremely friendly.

From all the reports I received Mum had a lovely time enjoying the company and activities. She loved her room and the home and enjoyed the view and gardens. The staff were very friendly and attentive and happy to give updates. We would definitely come again.

Our mum arrived in a very sad and confused state. She has been in Oakdale for eight weeks now. The care she receives is first class. She is treated with dignity and genuine kindness. Her room is always fresh and clean, and her clothing is always freshly laundered. Her emotional state has lifted, showing us lots of smiles and a sense of being settled, giving all of her family total peace of mind.

I cannot praise the home and staff enough. Everyone was friendly, helpful and cheerful. My husband was cared for with love and kindness. He thought of it as home. I am so grateful he spent his last days within this happy environment.

My husband who has Alzheimer's spent two weeks respite at the Oakdale Care Home. As soon as he saw his room he said how lucky he was to have such a lovely good-sized bedroom and a large wet room. He was also very pleased with his large wall-mounted television and he was fascinated with his touch bedside light. He was very pleased to see such a large and light residents' lounge. I was told that my husband enjoyed his food and ate very well. He had the continuity of his personal care and I much appreciate all the care and attention that was given to him during his stay to make it a happy experience. In the afternoons there were activities which he enjoyed participating in. Whenever I visited him he was happy.

Husband well looked after and cared for.

I was at the home on Veterans Day, and the energy and joy were contagious and wonderful. Having been at this event that day made me feel like we were going back in time.

My sister-in-law appears settled and happy with her new home since moving in six months ago. It's always a pleasure to visit in such a relaxed environment.

A pleasure to regularly visit my sister in this lovely care home. Friendly and caring staff in a relaxed and homely environment. The genuine affection and interaction staff have with residents is a pleasure to witness and adds reassurance to the family's decision to place my sister here. "A home-from-home".

The Remembrance Day was exceptional. The staff put in such an effort. The buffet was one of the best I have had!

My experience of Oakdale Care Home is just five visits in the last 12 months since my long term friend became a resident at. He suffers from mobility issues and I can only comment on what I've observed but the home has really good premises, feels welcoming with friendly and caring staff who look after my friend well. The whole atmosphere suggests the home is well-managed. Special praise for the ambience and decorations at the Remembrance Day medals presentation and also for the current Christmas sparkle that is clear for all to enjoy. Overall it is a pleasure to visit Oakdale.

Excellent all-round care.

Over the last few years, we have visited two very good friends. Unfortunately, one passed away a month ago but was very well looked after till the end. They died peacefully at Oakdale. Our other friend loves it here. We visit regularly, and our friend is always clean. Happy and says how lucky she is to be here.

Very friendly and caring. Anybody would be happy to leave their friends in care here.

The bistro was very welcoming to any visitors.

I have been visiting my good friend since she has been in the care home nearly every week. When my friend came in she wasn't looking too good but the improvement in how well she looks is amazing. The staff are really lovely and kind. All the activities and entertainers they provide are so good for them. Well done to all concerned!

Thanks very much for helping to make my auntie's 95th birthday so special. From decorating the room to serving us a great dinner and so much more. Eeverybody was so good.

I've been recently impressed by the care and attention the staff have shown to my aunt. They went to great lengths to make her 95th birthday special and she had a really lovely day as a result. I've also seen how caring they are with her in daily interactions.
