Wonderful care home. Management and staff were wonderful and caring. Family are made very welcome.
26 May 2026
Service & care is always exceptional. This care extends to the families, not just the residents themselves. Cannot fault.

Oak Manor Care Home has provided exceptional care and support for my Dad. As his mixed dementia became more advanced, he continued living with us, but when the time came to consider a nursing home, I was filled with worry and constantly reminded myself that it was in his best interests.
I could not
be more relieved or grateful for the care he has received. Watching him settle into his new home has been incredibly reassuring. Every team member shows genuine warmth, compassion, and dedication, giving me complete confidence that my Dad is cared for with the same love and respect I would want for him myself. The team work tirelessly and professionally, always delivering care with dignity and kindness. The facilities are excellent, and the activities are thoughtfully organised and Dad is encouraged and supported to join in. Most importantly, my Dad is smiling constantly and clearly enjoying the vibrant, welcoming environment around him. He is eating well and looks truly happy! Thank you

My Mum has been a resident for 4 weeks now. From the start when I was looking for the right care home to today, after she has lived there, I have been so impressed with the compassion, support, professionalism and kindness of all the staff. The management and care teams have also helped me so much
during this hard time.
I think Oak Manor is exceptional and I feel lucky a room became available just when we needed one.
My Mum is very happy there, has settled in quickly and now has a life with friends, support, activities to fill her day and all the lovely team who look after her so very well. It is indeed a great relief to me to know my Mum is very well looked after and in a nice environment.
From my experience, they have gone the extra mile to make sure my Mum is settled and looked after in all aspects of life. This makes me very happy my Mum has this new 'family' to enjoy this next stage of her life with.
Thank you for looking after her so well.

I have been staying in Oak Manor for respite while my daughter is on holiday. I have always heard excellent reports of this care home and my experience even exceeds these. The atmosphere is so warm and caring and the care is excellent. I hope that if I eventually need permanent care that Oak Manor
will be able to accommodate me.

I am very happy with my sister's care. The management team and staff are very caring and patient. Teresa eats very well.

When we began looking into care for our mum, we turned to friends and people in the local area for advice. Oak Manor was mentioned again and again. When speaking to the receptionist and manager, we were made to feel very welcome. Our mum was offered a place in July, and we moved her in. It was a
difficult and worrying time, but the staff made it a lot easier. They made mum very welcome and have taken excellent care of her. No matter what part of the team, you are met with a smile and a word of welcome. It has been a relief for us to know mum is being cared for and beginning to settle in. Thank you.

The care my Aunt is receiving from Oak Manor is of an exceptional standard. All of the staff are so caring and responsive to my Aunts needs. At times her distress of her dementia is upsetting to see but the staff are always supportive both of her but also are very caring towards family. We go away
from the home feeling a huge sense of relief but contentment of knowing that she is receiving the upmost care and attention. Thank you all at Oak Manor, we are all so grateful to all of your lovely staff.

Having visited Oak Manor some months ago, my sister Margaret moved in on a 3 week trial in early June.
She settled so well that she asked to stay.
Margaret has been very happy at Oak Manor and is eating and sleeping well. The staff from the top down are wonderful, kind and understanding.
Lastly, the care home is so clean it could be a hotel!

A year ago my elderly mother was in a private flat and unable to cope, due to lack of mobility, severe hearing loss and mental decline. My sister and I visited several care homes in the area, and noticed how much more engaged with residents the staff at Oak Manor seemed compared to the others. That
first impression is reinforced on every visit. The staff all seem to enjoy their work and nothing is too much trouble for them. They are incredibly kind and patient with my mother, who can often be moody and difficult, and always have time to chat with me. Oak Manor is spotlessly clean and very well maintained. Her room is a good size and the ensuite bathroom is always immaculately clean. One of many examples of staff going the extra mile happened on Christmas Day 2024. I'd left it too late to book a restaurant for lunch, so staff carried a dining table and chairs into the room, and served up a 3-course traditional Christmas dinner complete with table decorations! Oak Manor are a class act.
17 September 2025
Our mother was a resident for 3 and a half years and died on Tuesday 26th August. Every member of staff we dealt with was kind supportive and gave her much love and affection.
The senior colleagues dealt with the circumstances efficiently and with the utmost empathy.
26 August 2025
From the moment we made contact with Oak Manor to the recent visit, we have been impressed with the professionalism, care and friendliness of the management and care staff. At an extremely difficult time for our family, Oak Manor have supported us and our mother to make the transition from our own
home, to hospital, and now to care home as easy as it could be.
21 August 2025
We have only just started to get involved with Oak Manor, but have had a great experience so far. I have been surprised by how resident focused all the carers and managers are. Dealing with people there has been very easy.

My granddad has been in Oak Manor care home for 6 years. During this time, he has received the highest level of care and been treated with respect, compassion and kindness from every single member of Oak Manor team. This has been a constant reflection in his wellbeing. The facilities are always
immaculately clean and you can clearly see every member of the team working together to ensure the highest standards of care.
18 June 2025
My mother has been a resident of Oak Manor for almost 6 years and we have always found all the staff and management to be totally committed to providing the utmost level of care. Visitors are always made welcome. The staff are always upset and clearly happy in their working environment which
reflects positively on the residents. Thank you to the manager and the team for all you do!
18 June 2025
Oak Manor is a fresh, clean, bright and airy place. The staff are friendly and fun. We always feel able to approach them and feel that mum is safe and loved. On one occasion our mother suffered a bad turn and was not expected to live, the staff were finishing a 12 hr shift. They all came by at the
end of their shift and waited in line to see her for 15-20 minutes to say hi and possibly bye. It was so touching. It is a lovely place and we feel very lucky to have found it. Our mum is very happy there.
13 June 2025
A very well run and happy environment, where all the residents are cared for with love respect and dignity. My mother has resided in Oak Manor for several years now and is very happy, loves the activities and being valued.
11 June 2025
Following a fall, which fractured a hip, my mum has been cared for and rehabilitated in conjunction with a physiotherapist, with the utmost care and compassion. She is determined to walk on her own again, and often forgets she has had a hip replacement. Not to single anyone out particularly, but
thanks go to the seniors and staff on Sessile Unit for their unwavering care, even if mum's having a difficult day.
