The Oakes Care Centre

With the new manager now in charge The Oakes is a great place staffed with great people. The care, dignity and respect shown to my Mother, who has advanced Alzheimers, is fantastic.

As my mum's health deteriorated the staff met all her needs and were loving and kind with her in her last days. They supported myself and my sister when she died and we will always be grateful for everything they did for her.

The manager does an excellent job of creating the right culture in the home. Mum is cared for well and the home is always very clean. There are many activities organised and the staff are generally very good. I am happy with Mums care and Mum is happy in The Oakes Care Home.

I would be highly recommended this facility.

Carers are friendly and seem to be caring to the best of ability. Does seem as though they are short staffed sometimes with contractors in. Most staff are excellent.

My husband first used the care home for respite care when I was not well. He settled in and was well looked after. He has since been in for daycare as he fell in the bath and is going once a week for a day to enable him to have a bath. He is treated with respect. As we have to have the bathroom altered he will be going back on a regular basis for daycare and then for respite while the work is done. I have been very satisfied with his care and the way he is treated. The staff are very patient with him as he has Alzheimer's and can be awkward but nothing is too much trouble.

Blown away by the quality of care provided to my mum, way above expectations, they treat her as if she is their relative - not just when I visit, I have seen this with other residents. I have complete trust that my mother could not be looked after any better in her final months. The home is always spotless, food quality, quantity and choice are amazing and they always have time and compassion for me to support me through my mother's deterioration/illness.

After deciding that my sister and I needed a break from looking after our mother who has vascular dementia at 88 years old, we finally chose The Oakes Care Centre due to the way that the other residents looked happy and clean and well looked after. The team of staff at The Oakes Care Centre are so dedicated and nothing at all is too much trouble for them. Mum is well looked after, warm and safe and is actually socialising, It's a lovely place just like a hotel.

My father-in-law suddenly was not managing at home any more and Oakes had a place for him. He settled immediately and so far we cannot fault the place. I had elderly relatives in my family in care homes for years in a different area, and none of them came close to what we are experiencing so far at Oakes.

Thank you to all the team there.

The food was good and a good choice.

The Oakes Care Centre staff are very professional and supportive to my mother who is in care at their home. They seem genuinely interested in caring for my mother and as a family, we thank them for their continued support and level of service.

Social evenings, trips out and musicians who come to entertain, gently enhance mum's stay.

The Oakes has provided my mother with excellent care since her arrival in March 2017. She is extremely happy in her new environment where her every need is catered for.

I could not wish for her to be in a better care home.

The new entertainment person has made a great improvement in the entertainment at the home with a good variety.

The manager is very good and entertaining. All the staff are caring.

My Mum moved into The Oakes in October. We were understandably anxious about her move as this was the first time she had been into a care home. However, any worries we had quickly disappeared. The Oakes is beautiful, the rooms are a good size and homely. The quality of the food is fantastic and the menu varied, along with a regular trolley of treats. The staff are fantastic. They really care about the residents and treat them like their of own family. Any issues get sorted quickly and effectively. The Manager provides inspirational leadership. The Activities Co-ordinator ensures that residents get out and about. The team provides amazing care. It has been a huge relief to us that she is well cared for and happy. It is a huge weight off our minds, and we have absolutely no concerns about her in her new home. If you are lucky enough to have a family member admitted to The Oakes you will not be disappointed.

Friendly staff. Mum happy. Activities good, mum particularly loves singing. Staff observant and act quickly when concerned about mum, keep us informed. Nice room and homely.

My mother has now been a resident at The Oakes for just over a year now. The care she has received during that time has always been first class. The staff are so very friendly, approachable, helpful and caring. I would also say that since the new manager took over several months ago there have been so many improvements to the quality of the home itself including new carpets to the first floor and many other changes I know are still ongoing. I have no doubt that in due course if this continues The Oakes will become the number one choice in care homes in Huddersfield.

After coming for a viewing for my mother-in-law a week after she moved in. Can't believe how happy she is within a week of moving in. Staff are excellent.

My Mum is a new client at this home and the change overall is amazing. The care and attention have changed her for the better in a space of one week. I would highly recommend this home.

The Oakes Care Home, Huddersfield, in my experience is a professional establishment that employs staff who are fully committed to the upholding of the highest standards of care, whilst at the same time ensuring the dignity of those under their care and showing genuine love and affection toward all residents and their visitors.

The levels of cleanliness are faultless, quality of food and range of menus and dietary needs are more than satisfactory. I can recommend this care home to anyone seeking a loving establishment for their loved ones.
