My dad was a resident of Oakeshott House for just over a year until his recent passing. During that time we found that the care he received was exemplary. He was always clean and tidy, well fed and providing with a range of activities. The staff without exception treated him with kindness and dignity and as a family we felt very well informed. I cannot recommend Oakeshott House highly enough.
May I also pass on my my condolences to you and the family in such a difficult time.
My mum came to Oakeshott House for respite care on 06/10/2025, and I must say how impressed I am with the care, dignity and kindness shown to my mum. Mum is continuing to stay on at Oakeshott as she is no longer safe living on her own. The kindness, reassurance and support given to me by all of the staff is second to none - this genuinely is a five star facility, and I cannot thank all of the staff enough for their care of mum.
Thanks you so much for the lovely comments that have been left. I am so pleased to hear you and your mother were both supported during the admission process. we are always on hand to support at any time to ensure you both feel safe and supported
From the day that my Dad entered Oakeshott House, I knew he was getting the best care available in a clean, safe and welcoming environment. The staff dealing with him were just lovely, so kind and attentive, just like a big family, whilst continuing to be professional at all times. The staff are so dedicated and really take time to get to know each resident and their peculiar needs, likes and dislikes. The staff were also a great help to us at the end, helping us through a very difficult time.
Thank you so much for taking time to send such a lovely review. I am sure that all the staff will be so pleased to see their hard work and dedication get the recognition it deserves.
Oakeshott House is beautiful well run home with superb staff. We will always be grateful to the manager and all the staff for the exceptional care they gave to my brother and the support which was extended to us as a family.

Oakeshott House is a modern, well laid out 3 storey building, with a small but pleasant secure garden that is accessible easily for mobile of wheelchair bound residents. Interior decor in modern light and airy with lovely carpets and furnishings. Rooms for my parents are large and ensuite - ground floor rooms have french style windows and a small patio.

Exceptional staff - always friendly, upbeat, positive, and very kind and gentle with the residents.
Beautifully clean and tidy with modern decor.
Fantastic food with a nutritious range of products.
Thank you for all you do.
Thank you for your lovely review. Reviews like this really make our day.
My mum has only been in Oakeshott for a couple of weeks, but the standard of care she has received in that short time has been nothing short of excellent. Oakeshott has an exceptional and very approachable management team who will stop short of nothing to ensure my mum receives the best care possible. Oakeshott is a beautiful nursing home which is immaculately kept and would give many 5-star hotels a run for their money.
Thanks so much for your lovely review. We are so pleased that you and your family gave us this opportunity to care for your mum at this time and we are always here to help with anything.
Great facility with individual needs carefully considered and catered for.
Staff are very pleasant and helpful.
The only downside is it's very expensive.
I wished my friend to feel safe, secure and happy in the care home, and that is the status quo.
On behalf of the home manager and her team at Oakeshott, we would like to thank you for your kind words. The Manager and her team work very hard to ensure everyone feels safe and content In Oakeshott.
My mother has been a resident of Oakeshott House for six months now. She has been well cared for in all that time. Unfortunately, Mum's health has declined and is receiving palliative care. As a family, we believe she is receiving care second to none and we cannot thank the staff enough for the care and support they give Mum and us as a family.
On behalf of our home manager and her team, we would like to thank you for your kind words and to add it is our pleasure and privilege to care for your mum.
My mum suffered a stroke and was on an end-of-life pathway for 12 days. This is when we truly realised how much she was loved by everyone at Oakeshott. From incredible nursing care and dealing with her medical needs to the dignified way she was physically cared for, nothing was too much trouble. The lasting memory I will have is of how close the staff were to Mum and how they were personally affected by her passing. You have no idea the difference they made to us and we will never forget it.
It was both a privilege and honour to care for your mum.
My mother has been in your care in Oakeshott House Care Home for about three months and my brothers and I are really happy with how well she is looked after. The staff are very friendly and show genuine care and affection for my mum. She is well-fed and has put on much-needed weight in the short time she has been there. Thank you all so much.
My husband went to stay in Oakeshott House for one week of respite care. He has heart failure but is mentally good. He received help with showering and toileting but was able to walk to the dining area and was about to enjoy the hotel-like facilities. The carers were good, and there was excellent 24-hour nursing cover if required and who supervised medication. We would use Oakeshott House for respite care again.
Thank you for your kind review. The staff will be delighted with the feedback. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future.
I helped to settle my dear friend into Oakeshott House on behalf of his wife. My dear friend has Alzheimer's and is a true gentleman of exceptional taste with extremely high standards. Upon first inspection, Oakeshott House seems like a five star hotel, from the high quality of interior design to the exceptional cleanliness and the superb teamwork headed by the manager and assistant manager - both of whom have made extraordinary efforts to accommodate my friend. As I have continued to visit this lovely nursing home, my impression remains the same: Excellent. The telephone is always answered, and the reception remains welcoming and relaxing, whilst the subtle yet effective security measures (such as keypads on the lift) keep the more vulnerable dementia residents safe. Every member of the staff truly cares. I'm so grateful. Thank you. Well done!
Thank you for your lovely review, which I will share with the team. They will be delighted with your feedback.
The staff at Oakeshott House were superb in making my mum comfortable in her last days. Professional and caring - they took care of her and my dad as he faced the inevitable.
Thank you very much for the lovely feedback, Stuart. We are delighted to hear Mum had a lovely stay at Oakeshott House, and we hope Dad is doing OK. Thank you.
After looking at other care homes in the area we are so glad we chose Oakeshott House for our parents. Dad moved there in July after being in another care home and he couldn't be better looked after. Dad and our family and friends have been made so welcome by the management and all of the staff in this beautiful, modern and very clean care home. He is well cared for and well-loved by all the team. Mum moved to Oakeshott in September after a spell in hospital and then finding she couldn't manage at home without Dad. She has now settled into her routine at Oakeshott House and really appreciates the care she is receiving and enjoying the standard of her beautiful new home. As a family, we cannot praise Oakeshott House management team enough, initially for getting my parents move to them carried out quickly and compassionately and now for the rest of the team looking after my parents on a daily basis. At a time of crisis for us this year, we could not have wished for better care and support.
Thank you for your kind review. We are so pleased your mum and dad have settled so well. The team will be delighted with your feedback.
