Overall Experience

A wonderful home is truly a place where you can leave a loved one knowing that they're being cared for in every way by a wonderful group of people. My dad has been a resident here for almost a year now and I can wholeheartedly say that he is given exceptional care by members of staff who really do care.

The home is always clean and tidy and most importantly safe and secure which means that its residents are able to roam around their unit without the worry of getting lost or falling. I am beyond happy with the standard of care provided and am so grateful to each and every individual who works around the clock to provide it. Staff are always welcoming and cheery often singing and dancing along with residents making sure the best time is had by all. Really and truly a 10/10 facility.

If there is anything else we can do to enhance your dad's care, please feel free to get in touch with me. I will pass on your positive feedback to the team, I'm sure they will be over the moon to hear your appreciation. Thank you

Overall Experience

My grandad is on Beachview. I cannot recommend Oakview Home enough since being here in October 2024. Every time we have visited (7 days a week) my grandad has been busy enjoying all the activities, from baking, dancing, singing, church services, and activities, his been so busy and happy here. The staff

are amazing, the place isn't just a care home but a home from home. The activity coordinator is so helpful and ensures the residents are always entertained, busy and living their lives to their maximum potential.

Reply from Pal Grewal, Manager at Oakview Care Home

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. The team is delighted to hear your positive comments. Staff work tirelessly to ensure that each Resident feels supported, engaged, and valued, and it's heart-warming to know their efforts have made a difference for your grandad. It's a joy to look after him. If you have any ideas or suggestions to improve our services or care of your grandad, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Once again Thank you very much for taking the time to write this review.

My dad has only been here 4 days but has settled in so well. We have visited several times already and when we arrived, he was sitting in the main area with others, looking smart, clean and happy. Staff seem wonderful and so caring. His room is spotless and love the flowers outside the window.

My mom was admitted in September 2024, she has thrived since coming here, all staff have been friendly and helpful and supporting my mom with her needs. The nurses have been fantastic understanding and informative about my mom's needs even the reception team has been fabulous. I would definitely recommend

this home because the support we have had is second to none clean and welcoming and most of all the care for my mom has been brilliant because I know she is in the right place.

Overall Experience

My 95-year-old mom was transferred to Oakview from hospital after a fall resulting in a fractured pelvis. I am more than happy with the care she is receiving. The nurses, carers and domestic staff are friendly and helpful. The residents all look happy and content. The home is kept spotlessly clean.

I would recommend Oakview to anyone looking for care for a loved one.

I came to visit Mum and noticed she was having a good time, When I came on Sunday, I noticed they were all gathered in the room watching a film.
It was a cinema night.
What a good idea and good night.
We need more activities like this because it seems to only happen with certain staff.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I'm thrilled to hear that your mum enjoyed the cinema night, and we're glad you could see her having a good time.

Overall Experience

My mother was only at Oakview care home for a month having moved from one further away. She unfortunately died on Tuesday in her sleep. The staff have been fantastic with Mum. She died of Alzheimers Dementia so communication was challenging for the staff but they showed they had genuine commitment to

providing care with empathy, sensitivity and good humour. On the morning of Mum's death I was supported emotionally by the care staff and informed of the next steps with practicality and understanding for which I will be eternally grateful. My only regret is that I wish we had got to Oakview earlier.

Reply from Pal Grewal, Manager at Oakview Care Home

I am deeply sorry about the passing of your mother. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. Thank you so much for your kind words about the care she received at Oakview. It means a great deal to us that we were able to support her and you with empathy and understanding. Knowing that we were able to bring comfort to both your mother and you, even in such a challenging time, is truly humbling. I'm glad our staff could provide the emotional and practical support you needed during your mother's final movements . Please know that we are here for you if you need anything moving forward. You and your family are in our thoughts.
