The overall experience was outstanding. Dad came in for respite care and I was very anxious about leaving him but the care, food, socialising and service was absolutely brilliant. Dad thoroughly enjoyed being here. I have total confidence that I can go on holiday with peace of mind that Dad is well cared for and safe. I cannot recommend Osbern Manor Care Home enough. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Dad is in the home after he broke his hip, Client Relations Assistant is great, very efficient and friendly. Dad will become a resident permanently in the near future, all the staff are wonderful, very kind and caring. We cannot thank them enough for all the care given to our Dad.

Thank you, we'll share your kind words with the team!
Spent 3 weeks in respite care while primary carers were away. I have been in respite in other care home, but none compared to Osbern Manor. I was so well looked after that I am now considering permanent residency here.

Excellent and informative front of house receptionists, who are kind, caring and spend time talking to the residents in a gentle and happy way. Food is excellent, the decor throughout is of a high standard.
Thank you for taking time to leave a review. It means a lot to the team here.

Osbern Manor boasts a five-star facility, yet the quality of care provided by the staff is disappointing and fails to meet even basic expectations. One would expect that the staff are in this line of work because they genuinely care about nurturing residents and enhancing their quality of life in their final years. However, it often seems that everything is viewed as an inconvenience to them, leading me to believe they may be in the wrong profession. Even down the general pettiness and unprofessionalism from even the most senior members of staff. It's really disappointing to experience. Once the facilities begin to age and lose their initial appeal, there will be little left to recommend it.

We are sorry to read that you were not happy with the care your Grandmother received during her stay in Osbern Manor. We are always keen to discuss any concerns and work with family members to rectify wherever possible any issues surrounding their loved ones' stay with us. We had never had to serve notice to any resident previously and the decision here was reached reluctantly. We take on board all feedback provided in order to hone our services and regret that you felt our standards were lacking in your opinion. Our home manager is still available to discuss any further matters. Of course, we are sorry that we were not able to make things work out to the satisfaction of all parties and wish your grandmother the very best going forward and hope that she becomes settled in her new home.

From stepping into Osbern Manor back in June to take a look we were blown away with how lovely the whole atmosphere and decor felt. It was like walking into a 5-star hotel. Everyone greeted you and made you feel so welcome.
We cannot fault anything and our loved one is happy to return for future stays. All her friends who visited were equally impressed and enjoyed the delicious meal you were able to pre-book. We felt very supported in every step of the process. We highly recommend Osbern Manor, praising all the staff for making everyone feel safe and comfortable in beautiful homely surroundings.
Thank you so much. It means a lot to the whole team, from the reception onwards, to know that you felt so positively about Osbern Manor and the team who work tirelessly to make it work so well on a daily basis.

We cannot rate our whole experience of Osbern Manor, highly enough. We needed a care home to provide a few weeks of respite care for our relative and after viewing Osbern Manor we were completely sold on arranging for our relative to stay here. It is so welcoming, friendly and not at all like a 'care home'. You feel as though you are in a 5* hotel. The care provided for our relative was amazing. She wanted for nothing and will miss her late-night hot chocolate. The rooms are spacious, modern and spotless. She loved the food and the opportunity for her relatives to join her for lunch was perfect. Anyone looking for a care home would be hard-pressed to find somewhere better and we would be more than happy to move in, in the future.
Thank you, Brenda. We will share your kind feedback with the whole team, as we all strive to make our resident's stay an enjoyable one.

From the moment we contacted Osbern Manor regarding care for my elderly parents the team there have been nothing other than exceptional. From the care, attention and support for my parents and our family and even the essential, bureaucratic aspects, the response from everybody has made, what has...
The home itself is beautifully appointed and very welcoming and the quality and level of services are more akin to a 5-star hotel.
Before my parents were actually admitted, the team did a full assessment of their conditions to establish exactly how they should be treated and accommodated. Even going so far as setting them up in a large double room, with two beds pushed together, as my father (who has vascular dementia and relies on my mum's emotional support), was very stressed by the fact that, under normal circumstances, each resident is assigned their own room and would sleep alone at night (this really was a wonderful gesture).
Thank you Michael, we appreciate your feedback, especially the care team here. It will help others looking for care in the Medway area.
My Father has been a resident for a few months now and is receiving fantastic care. The home is lovely, he enjoys being here. The staff are all great and look after all his needs perfectly.

After a traumatic stay in hospital Dad needed somewhere to build up his strength and confidence. Osbern Manor is perfect, very caring staff who has helped Dad back to his normal self. Cannot thank the staff enough. The actual home is beautiful also.

Thank you, and we'll be sure to share your comments with the team, as it's exactly how they hope to present to their residents and families.
I am so pleased that I found this care home to look after my wife who is suffering from dementia. The design and comfort are outstanding, as well as the highly efficient staff. I would thoroughly recommend a visit if you are seeking a special home for your loved one.

We cannot thank Osbern Manor enough for the exemplary service they have provided right from our initial enquiry call, to overseeing the smoothest of transitions for Mum and ensuring she is settled and happy. Mum was the first resident to move in and was greeted by every member of staff. It was such a fabulous welcome and reassured us again that we had made the right decision. Every person we have contact with is professional, friendly, empathic, supportive, and genuinely cares. And all have a sense of fun! These are qualities you cannot teach and we're sure will be paramount in the success of Osbern Manor. Whether it's housekeeping, the administrative/management team, the care team or the hospitality team, they are all evidently dedicated to their work and go out of their way to help. The attention to the finer details to personalise Mum's care has been outstanding. Osbern Manor has the polish of a luxury hotel and the loving atmosphere of being in your own home. Thank you.
Thank you, Susan. We'll share your kind words with the wider team here, who will really appreciate them!

I have worked in healthcare since 2004, in both NHS and private care settings. I have a nursing background; I graduated from The University of Buckingham. As the General Manager, I lead the team that provides holistic care to our residents. We involve them and their families in everything we do because the most crucial part of my job is giving meaning to people's lives. Working in partnership with residents, families, and professionals has always been one of my core values. I strive to continually develop to ensure that the residents I care for experience the very best care and enrichment. Our door is always open to visitors, so please feel free to drop in and join us for a cup of tea, a piece of cake and a chat about life in our home.

I started working in care in 2019 after completing my Level 3 in Health and Social Care at College. I have always been a very ambitious person and have always strived to be the best that I can be. I started as a Carer In 2019 and quickly realised that this is where I belong - helping others in the care sector, and this is where my career goals began. Within a year, I worked my way up to Team Leader and then in 2022, I was promoted to Deputy Manager to become a Registered Home Manager in 5 years.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, sewing, and knitting. I also enjoy listening to my favourite music artists from the 1950s-1970s. I have an old soul, as some would say.

I am delighted to have joined the Oakland Care family as Senior Client Relations Manager for Osbern Manor, Hyllden Heights, Birchwood Heights and Maplewood Court. My experience in the role goes back 11 years now, including the commissioning of a new care home.
Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than assisting families to explore full-time care options whilst sharing insights during what is often a stressful time for them. Outside of work, my biggest passion has always been travel, which hopefully will become easier again in the fullness of time!

As one of the newest members of the Clients Relations Team for Kent, I’m very proud to be a part of the Oakland Care family.

As one of the newest members of the Clients Relations Team for Kent, I’m very proud to be a part of the Oakland Care family.
I originally trained as a photographer and photographic printer back in the days of film! From shooting family portraits in the studio one day to being in the darkroom the next, it was a varied job.
I then worked in a Grammer School Art and D.T. departments, supporting the teachers and students. Ensuring learning had taken place. My main role was setting up and running the photography unit.Before joining the Oakland Care family, I spent nine years with a boutique Cinema, covering many aspects of the business and heading up customer relations.
Working for Oakland Care has been by far the most personally rewarding; helping residents and their families navigate what can be a difficult and stressful pathway to happiness gives me immense pleasure.Our residents are at the heart of everything we do here at Oakland Care, and I feel truly humbled to be a part of it.
Outside work, I enjoy getting out in the fresh air, either on my bike or walking in the countryside.
