I have found the home to be welcoming, supportive, caring and kind. The accomodation and public spaces, cafe etc are always immaculately clean and tidy. The food is of an exceptionally high standard. All the staff are wonderful, so kind & caring towards residents and families, they deliver very high quality care. I was personally overjoyed and relieved when mum was confirmed as having a place at Oakbank. My mum is also so happy to be here. She loves the staff, her room, activities and all the cups of tea!! Thank you all so very much for caring for my mum.

Both my parents feel very happy, safe and secure at Oakbank. The staff are super-friendly and attentive and make them feel at home. The facilities are second to none - we enjoy using the cafe and walking in the lovely grounds. Overall, an excellent experience.

May i take this opportunity to thank you, trusting us to support your parents during their transition is a privilege. The cafe and the gardens are such a positive aspect of Oakbank Care Home and we will continue to utilise these areas to benefit all of our residents. I will ensure the staff are aware that their friendliness and support are noticed and are a large part of the experience.

As mentioned in viewing the place, my mother and I have been made to feel like a member of the family there. Visiting my father is very straightforward. The room is nice and spacious and seems comfortable for my father and visitors.
Thank you so much for completing a review, I hope that we continue to provide the high standard of care that you expect for your dad. I am glad that both yourself and your mum feel comfortable and included in the service we provide.

on entering Oakbank one is given a warm welcome by the Receptionist on duty, and remembers your name. The Management can always be contacted if there are questions to which you require answers concerning your loved ones care. The building is exceptional, one could not wish for a better room for one's loved one to be staying in. The small cafe at the entrance is a very good idea, however, it could have been a little larger as it is so popular, especially as it is used for activities too. The gardens are an amazing bonus too. The nurses and carers show affection in addition to skilfull nursing.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, i will ensure that out staff are made aware of how much you appreciate our relationship with yourself and your family. i hope you will continue to utilise the cafe, unfortunately it is rather small, its because its so popular with everyone. I will definitely give it some thought to see if we can do anything to improve it.

The staff were incredibly helpful and looked after him with great care and comfort. He enjoyed the food, the comfortable room and the help he was given for his disabled needs. He found the activities and opportunities offered stimulating and enjoyable. He dislikes eating in public and was pleased to be able to eat on his own as well as having interaction with other residents in the public areas.
The ability to sit outside on the room'patio and also to be able to sit out in the garden with friends and even do a little gardening was a big help for him.
The room decor and the things provided are tasteful and comfortable. The whole building is attractive, accessible, clean and very thoughtfully designed.
The staff are professional, efficient, and caring.
There is also lots of fun. Oakbank is an exceptional care home in every way.
Thank you very much on behalf of the staff at Oakbank care home, we really appreciate the time you have given to complete a review of the care provided at Oakbank Care Home. We look forward to your next visit and will make sure there is plenty of fun and laughter.

Offers of beverages etc from cafe
Mum has a fabulous social life very involved with the activates that is arranged inhouse as well as outdoors
Mum is getting more frail now the staff still make sure she joins in when she wants to they always reassure her that if she changes her mind they will assist her back to her room .
Her favourite activity is playing dominoes and singalong as well as going to the church service
One of the things mum was so very happy to see was a children's area has just been made in the garden ,for them to play in .This was because one of her great grandchildren was involved in helping as well as many other families, she is so proud
The Manager and her deputy as well as the rest of team are such caring respectful and happy people ,always ready to help with any queries or concerns we may have
We as a family can't thank them all for everything they have and continue to do for mum

Thank you so much for the very positive review, i am so glad that the staff are always here for the residents and their families.The children's area is bright and cheerful and it does provide a nice splash of colour, even when not in use by children. I hope you have seen the chalk outlines of our visiting nursery children (on our large storage hut) We really need to get varnish and keep the chalk pictures over a period of time.
We are more than happy to support families, we become very involved in the life of the families and staff gain a lot of support from this, as well as the families.

Purpose of staying at Oakbank was for respite. The overall experience was positive, however a few aspects need to be addressed to make Oakbank an outstanding care home, with the high level it aspires to. The areas in question are food, entrance to Oakbank and sending an inappropriate bill to our son.
Good morning, Gordon
Thank you for taking the time to complete a review regarding your respite stay, it is appreciated. We will definitely take your opinion and view into account when discussing the areas that you feel we could improve on. I will discuss with the appropriate heads of dept to ensure a service that meets your expectations will be provided.
My 93-year-old father moved to Oakbank following a sudden decline in his health. From our very first contact, the Home Manager, Margaret Ann and her team were outstanding. Living over 600 miles away, I was struggling to arrange care, but Margaret Ann showed remarkable kindness and compassion, doing...
The care he received during his final two weeks was exceptional. Every member of staff treated him with kindness, dignity and genuine affection. Nothing was ever too much trouble, even going to the shops to buy him snacks (despite the amazing menu offered), and their warmth and professionalism gave us enormous comfort at a very difficult time.
Oakbank is much more than a care home, it is a caring community staffed by truly remarkable people. The facilities are wonderful.
We will always be grateful for the support they gave both my father, my brother and me. I cannot recommend Oakbank highly enough.
Thank you.

The building is spacious and modern and set in beautiful grounds with well tended gardens. The staff are caring and professional and they treat residents and visitors with courtesy and kindness. There are plenty of activities to keep the residents stimulated and involved and the cafe encourages further conversation over tea/coffee and delicious cakes and biscuits. All in all - its a great place to spend your retirement!
