Our dad has been very well looked after and it's obvious everyone is sorry to see him leave. His care just needs to be more 1-2-1. I know his dementia is progressing. Many thanks for taking care of him!

The whole team at Oaklands Nursing Home have been exceptional and couldn't have given better care and attention to John. The whole team showed constant care, understanding, kindness and utmost respect. We cannot thank them all enough.

My father has been at Oaklands since the beginning of December 2025. He was in quite a bad state when he arrived directly from the hospital, but since then, he has vastly improved thanks to the very best care. All members of staff are friendly, attentive and compassionate. We are really happy
with Oaklands. It is comforting to know he is being looked after so well, and we are always welcomed so well when we visit.

Since my mother arrived at Oaklands in November 2024, she has received excellent care.
The staff are all welcoming, very helpful and understanding.
It was lovely that on her birthday, they put up banners and balloons and baked a delicious cake for her (no mean feat as she is a coeliac).
A very
friendly place.

A very well run and professional establishment, with staff conspicuous for both their attention to detail, for their generosity of spirit and for their positive outlook, which is, as a result, shared by the residents, enhancing their experience.

Oaklands offers a caring, supportive environment. All the staff are extremely friendly, always with a smile on their faces, and nothing seems too much trouble. Excellent and helpful management. Impressed with the range and quality of food. Overall, very impressed with the care for my husband at
Oaklands.

Since my husband arrived on 20th December he has had the best care from the dedicated staff. It took a while for him to settle in but is happy now and has accepted that this is the best environment for him to be in at this stage of his life. Thank you.

We have visited our friend many times in the last year and have always been impressed with Oaklands Nursing Home. The deco is always Immaculate, the place is nice and warm, and all the staff are most polite and caring. Even after all this, improvements are always happening. My friend tells me the
food is lovely and he really enjoyed it. He is getting a slightly larger bedroom which he is looking forward to. My friend enjoys the friendly atmosphere and has acquired quite a few friends. All in all, a very nice place.

After initial concern regarding change of ownership, things have now settled down.
A large amount of work has now been completed and the home is now 100% improved on before. Obviously the new management team are very dedicated on proving improved care for all residents.

Mum came to stay at Oaklands after a spell in hospital. I am just so delighted about the care and welcome she received. All the staff are so friendly and caring and go above and beyond to help Mum get mobile again. She really enjoyed the food and activities. Getting visits from dogs and even
meerkats kept her spirits up. As soon as she arrived they helped her set up both her phone and tablet as they know how important they were to her. I can so recommend Oaklands.

My mother, of 95 years old with severe dementia, moved to Oaklands Care Home after her previous home closed down in December 2022. I cannot fault the care she received and feel very lucky to have found you - it was outstanding at every level. I visited regularly and she was always dressed well,
encouraged to eat, given personal attention to her needs and looked after with dignity. You were angels for her. The nursing care she received when she deteriorated further was also outstanding, kind, professional and informed. I found everyone conscientious, kind and attentive. I knew she was in a place I trusted.
She only spent five months there and sadly died in May 2023. Though we are heartbroken, our family feel grateful for the level of care you showed her at all stages. Thank you to all of you, I have nothing but admiration for your attention to detail and highly recommend your care home to anyone wishing for an excellent home for their relative.
16 August 2023
All the staff at Oaklands Care Home are amazing! Each and every one showed that they really care for the residents at the home and the level of care provided to my mother was nothing short of outstanding. We could ring or visit any time and would always be warmly welcomed and I should also say
thanks for the endless cups of tea. Thank you for the ongoing support that you continue to provide and thank you for making my mother's stay with you as comfortable as possible. You deserve high recommendation for those looking for care for an elderly relative.

Staff are superb and go beyond the expected to care for Dad.
19 November 2021
I cannot thank enough the care and attention my father has received in the care home since his arrival. He is very much at "home" in his new surroundings and feels supported, safe and secure. Our family are very reassured by the feedback from staff that is always in a timely, professional and
courteous fashion regarding my father ongoing health.

Whenever we visit the care home I am always happy how well and cared for my sister-in-law us. The staff are always happy and willing to talk to you and discuss her. We haven't been for a while which is very understanding. I think they do there very best in every way.
16 July 2020
Mum had spent almost a year at Oaklands Care Home. Sadly, she passed away two weeks ago. All I can say is that the care and the compassion shown to Mum has been outstanding.
The carers and staff are coping in a very, very difficult time and putting themselves on the front line.
The staff really
care about their residents and, I mean really, care. We were kept informed throughout her demise, gently and carefully things were explained to us.
I never wanted Mum to have to have 24 hour care and have to be in a care home, but we as a family are so pleased we chose Oaklands and would highly recommend it to those looking for care for an elderly relative.
