Thank you so much for your very kind words which I will forward onto the team.

We cannot thank the care home and all the staff enough for the care, patience and kindness they showed my mum during her time there. Mum could be a challenging and difficult person at times, but the staff always treated her with dignity, compassion and genuine warmth. They went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, cared for and supported right until the end. We will always be incredibly grateful for everything they did for her and for our family.

Thank you for your wonderful review. We're pleased to know that you're happy with the care your father is receiving. It means a great deal to us.

4. Emotionally, of course, much more difficult; no-one can like their loved-one in a care home, even one as good as this. Julia is kept safe, but I can't forget that I'd want her to be nearer.
Thank you for your positive feedback. We're delighted that you are happy with the care we are currently offering in our home. Your support and encouragement mean a great deal to the team and we look forward to your visits.

My husband became a resident of Oaklands Care Home in February 2025. I have been impressed by the care and dedication of the staff and I feel reassured that he is well looked after. Relinguishing the responsibility of caring for a close relative is not easy; the manager and staff recognise this and have been a great support to me over the these last three months.

I chose Barchester Oaklands for all that it offered (after a very disappointing experience in his first care home) - safety, care, stimulation, engagement, dedicated - long serving staff and the promise of being person-centred & I have not been disappointed. From day one of dad moving in he has been happy & settled, which is a true reflection on the caring & compassionate relationships he has with all members of staff & residents. Not only has dad been welcomed into the home, but I have too. From the moment you step through the front doors you are always greeted with a warm welcome from reception and management. It really feels like everyone is all part of dad's extended family. The care staff are amazing - it is always a calm environment, they are so helpful in having dad ready to go out on the days I take him to groups and welcome him home with such warmth. The activities are endless and vary to ensure everyones needs are met. I am kept involved informed & updated. Thank you!
Sadly I have had other family members in care homes with dementia so I have other homes to compare Oaklands's with and I can't fault the care my husband receives all staff I see are very professional that's across the board

Thank you for your kind review. It has been a pleasure caring for your dad, he brings so much warmth and joy into our home.
My husband is very comfortable, clean, well-fed and chatted to. It has taken years of worry off my shoulders.

Very helpful. A very difficult time for the family, leaving a relative in full-time care is awful and the staff here have been supportive and the whole team have been really helpful.

My dad has recently arrived at this care home and our family cannot fault the care he is receiving. All of the staff - nurses, carers, maintenance, cleaners - everyone has been so friendly and attentive. Dad is in a spacious and well-maintained room and we have been encouraged to bring things in from home to make it feel like his space. The staff have made a real effort to get to know us, as a family, and also learn about Dad's interests and history so that they can talk to him about those things. The food options are great and have been tailored to Dad's own requirements and preferences - he certainly never goes hungry! The care, attention, respect and empathy he and us, as a family, have received has been fabulous. Dad is comfortable, happy and settled. We couldn't ask for more.

Mum has been here since February and I am very pleased with her care. The staff are lovely and the rooms are very spacious and nicely decorated. The food is good and Mum enjoys the variety. We are also very happy with the activities here. We have enjoyed pudding clubs, a classic car show and look forward to this weekend's fete. This care home is a vast improvement from the previous home my mum was in. Excellent.
We appreciate your feedback and are delighted to know that you are happy with the care we are currently providing your mother.

Warm and welcoming when you enter Barchester Oaklands Care Home in reception. Staff in the reception area, activity coordinators, carers, cleaners, caretakers are all friendly and cheerful and helpful. Flexible visiting hours are a plus. Cafe area in reception is good for meeting others in a similar position. It provides a forum for support from peers. My husband seems settled and I feel he's in a safe place.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We look forward to seeing so many of you in the afternoons.

I have really enjoyed my time here at Barchester Oaklands Care Home. I never expected it to be this good however the care I received was great from both nurses and care staff. Whilst staying with you, I had an appointment come up for the hospital and without giving it a second thought, Oaklands organised transport for me with your staff which was invaluable to me. The activity team are excellent at finding time to chat with me and also finding activities for individuals and groups.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your short stay with us and look forward to seeing you on your next break.

Hi, my name is Gabriela, but everyone knows me as Gabby. I qualified as a Registered Nurse in Romania, but over the past 8 years I have worked in the United Kingdom for over 10 years, 8 of which have been in a dementia community. I joined Barchester in 2017 as a nurse and was promoted to Unit Manager and then home clinical lead in 2019.
