Oakeshott House Reviews (42)
Oakeshott House has a Review Score of 9.5 (9.475) out of 10, based on 14 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Oakeshott House has 42 reviews.
The manager and her team put a lot of care and effort into ensuring Mum and Dad quickly settled into their new home. When visiting, Covid safety procedures are always followed and we're made to feel welcome with tea and delicious cakes. The home is decorated to the standard of a quality hotel and is maintained in excellent condition by the cleaning staff. My parents enjoy their meals and the variety that an occasional 'take-away' gives them. We hope that in the coming months the number of residents will increase and allow the beautiful social areas (cinema, tea room, hairdressing salon) to be used to the full.
Thank You so much for your kind review. We will pass your comments on to the team.
On our first visit following her Covid quarantine period she praised the food and care telling us she was being treated like the Queen. The stimulation that she is enjoying with participation in the varying activities unquestionably has helped reduce the effects of her dementia.
Her room and facilities are finished to a very high standard while providing a safe and secure environment have a homely rather than clinical feel.
We are now looking forward to regular visits.
Thank You so much for your kind review. I will share these comments with the team,
