Oakmont Lodge Care Home

Overall, the nursing home provides an excellent standard of accommodation, care, and support, and I would highly commend the dedication of the staff and management in creating such a safe, caring, and pleasant environment.

I was impressed. I have not visited during mealtimes so could not rate food and drink.

I have no hesitation in heartily recommending Oakmont Lodge, it was my cousin's lucky day when she applied and there happened to be a vacancy!

Mum was a resident in Oakmont for over a year. Following this very happy experience in the residential unit she was transferred to the Oakmont nursing unit where she passed away a short time later. Both units gave Mum amazing care, she was treated with dignity and gentleness. Her room was lovely and the food was wonderful. It should also be noted that my sister and I were supported throughout Mum's time in Oakmont, especially as her time drew too close.

I highly recommend Oakmont Lodge if you are looking for a place your relative can truly call HOME.

If anyone is ever asking what is a good care home for the elderly I will always recommend Oakmont Lodge. The facilities are of a very high standard but it is the dedication and kindness of the staff that makes this home stand out from other care homes. The staff are incredibly kind, patient and give my Dad the time and dignity that he needs.

Everyone that works in Oakmont Lodge are friendly, approachable and always willing to go the extra mile. The entertainment is top quality and my father likes a drink so when I provide this they will let him enjoy 1 - 2 drinks on certain occasions E.G during entertainment or residents birthdays. Dad really is enjoying his experience, which I was extremely worried about, but again staff gave me reassurance. I could not fault them on any aspect.

I know if I have any concerns I can phone and speak to someone in charge who will address my concerns.

Oakmont is an exceptional care home. Wonderful surroundings, comfortable rooms, extremely clean and the staff will do all they can to help and make the resident feel at home.

All meals are made fresh, great variety of menus and special dietary requirements catered for.

Our thanks to everyone who helped look after Mum during her stay.

Highly recommend.

I have been visiting my friend in here fo nearly two years and we both are very happy with Oakmont. One of the staff always very welcoming at reception as is all the staff whenever you meet them. The upkeep of the rooms and communal areas very good. My friend has settled in very well and is happy.

I am so very grateful to all the staff for their care and kindness.

The Dementia Unit facilities are specifically designed to suit the needs of the residents and to make everyday activities as easy as possible, and this is what my mum needs. There is an impressive programme of activities specifically structured to entertain and involve residents. I have found all those working in the unit to be patient, caring, and thoughtful, and they all take an interest in each of the residents. They have created a lovely atmosphere, and I have been very impressed that they take time to time to chat with residents or help them with something. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and I can see that Mum is very well cared for, nicely dressed, and most of all, content and safe. The menu is varied and appetising, and my mum will always find something she likes. Her room and the unit are very clean and well looked after. The management is excellent, and I highly recommend this unit which is an example of how people with dementia should be cared for.

I would find it difficult to improve on anything in Oakmont Lodge Care Home. My father is treated so well and I especially like the way staff do their utmost to make this feel like a resident's home and treat them accordingly. I love the range of activities on offer to residents that happen on a very regular basis and include outings to different venues. The chef does a great job of meeting individual needs and preferences. Management and care staff are all excellent and very much involved in providing the best care possible. If ever I am at the stage of needing residential care it is where I want to be.

My mother was in Oakmont Lodge Care Home from August until December and was very happy there. The staff were very friendly and professional and always available to speak to. The care my mother received was excellent. There were daily activities organised and the residents could participate if they wanted to which I felt was good as they didn't feel pressured.

My dad moved into Oakmont Lodge Care Home May 2022 after returning home from hospital with a care package that did not work out for his needs. His general health and well being has significantly improved since becoming a resident in the home. The home provide an exceptional standard of care both from a health point of view and social well being. There are a wide range of activities and events held in the home for dad to take part in, along with trips out for coffee, lunch and a drives along the coast. The ultimate trip out was organised for my dad in late January, a trip out to see his favourite football team play a live match in Belfast, an amazing gesture on the part of two staff members who helped plan it. We were all overwhelmed by the kindness. The management and staff are amazing, providing a consistent excellent level of care, my sister and I are content he is being well looked after. He has been to more social events than we have this year! A real home from home.

My mother has been a resident of Oakmont for three months now and is very happy. She came out of the hospital to the home quite ill and has been improving in health every day. The staff are excellent, and the standards within the home are exceptional. Friendlt and helpful staff have made Mum's transition from hospital to the home very easy and stressless, which has helped us enormously.

My mum-in-law has dementia, and a series of events resulted in her entering Oakmont Lodge. After many weeks in the hospital and then a rehabilitation facility, she was not in a good place mentally, had become very withdrawn and was refusing to eat. After a few weeks in Oakmont, we saw a huge change in her; she was beginning to eat again and engaging with the staff and other residents. Whilst our preference would have been for her to return home, her dementia and physical capabilities meant this was no longer an option, but we could not be happier with Oakmont. The staff and manageress are amazing and approachable, listen to our concerns and are proactive when it comes to anything health-related. My mum-in-law is happy, settled and loves the staff, has made friends with other residents, and most of all are safe. My previous experience of care homes was not favourable, and I was really loathed to place my mum-in-law in one; Oakmont is in a league of its own, and we are extremely happy with it.

Absolutely excellent care home. Both my parents have unfortunately needed to move into a care home, and I am absolutely delighted with the care they have received. The manager was able to guide me through the process and really made a difference in what was a very difficult time in our lives. I find all the staff very knowledgeable and attentive to my parent's needs. It is great to see that there is not a high turnover of staff, as myself and my parents are able to get to know them and build a relationship with them. This is very important. The facilities are second to none, and the entertainment programme keeps them busy and has helped them integrate into the home. There is always a very welcoming atmosphere in Oakmont, and they are always happy to welcome visitors, which is reassuring. I would highly recommend a visit if you are in need of care for a family member.

Our dad is in the dementia nursing unit. There just arent the words to describe how fantastic the staff are. They are truly amazing. The care is outstanding and the unit is spotless. Staff go above and beyond to ensure residents are treated the way they would look after their own family. Thank you to each and every one of them.

My mum was admitted to Oakmont Lodge Care Home nearly two years ago. She is very well cared for. The staff are great and they don’t have a high turnover of staff the same ones being there. It is the right place for her and she has settled well.
