My husband was welcomed to Oak View Lodge at the beginning of September. From my first visit I felt welcome and greeted ny everyone with a smile and a welcome greeting. During his month long stay my husband was treated as a special guest.The meal time menus were varied and freshly prepared and the portions were generous and there were drinks and a variety of snacks available all day. Midmorning and afternoon snacks were offered to residents. My husbands room was light, modern and comfortable. There was a sensitive mat beside his bed to alert staff if he got out of bed at night. My husband was well cared for and spoken to by name and the kind staff always knew where he was. Should he need long term residential care I would contact Oak View Lodge immediately.

My wife has been nursed in Oakview for nearly three years. She has received excellent care throughout. The home is comfortably and appropriately appointed. The staff are warmly friendly yet the care is not intrusive. There are daily stimulating activiites suited to the differing circumstances of the residents.In other words Oakview is a well balanced and well managed home.

This Care home is extremely good, with excellent staff and routine. It is clean and tidy. My mum has a very good bright room with great window and furnishings. It is warm or cool as appropriate. The Care staff are very attentive to her needs. Food is well prepared . Very impressed. Due to her age and health, some activities are beyond Mum. However there is a community feel.

My mother has recently had a few problems and, as usual, the Home reacted very professionally and sorted her problems. They always listen to our needs and the staff take a proactive stance in dealing with anything.

I cannot praise Oakview Lodge staff highly enough. They were wonderful right from the start of my looking for a place for my very ill husband - right through to the end, when he died. We were impressed from the beginning with the care and friendliness the staff exuded - my daughter and I even asked if we could put our names down for when we need a Care Home. Sadly, they said no. I was kept informed at all times of anything of note, everything was carefully explained and expertly and kindly done. The professionalism of both the Management, the Nursing Staff and the Carer Team was exemplary, and so kindly handled when the end came. The Home itself is very well appointed, kept sparklingly clean and beautifully decorated with lots of facilities for the residents. I'm so glad my husband spent his last months there. Thank you.

Oakview are amazing at caring for our elderly relative. They are kind and caring towards him. They anticipate his needs and support his health and wellbeing very effectively. We could not ask for anything else for him. Thank you to the home's leadership team and all the staff who care for him so well.

My husband has been on the Nursing floor for over six months now. He has been given consistent, cheerful and loving care and we have never seen any signs of impatience from any of the nurses or carers. He is treated - and valued - as an individual and is encouraged to be as active and engaged as possible, given his physical challenges. My family and I particularly like the fact that all members of staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. The atmosphere is always cheerful and the home is immaculate.

Mum's health needs changed very suddenly during my visit. Staff present responded quickly, calmly and professionally. I was hugely reassured by the team's response to relieve and treat my mum's condition. As a result, all is now well with Mum. Thank you, Oak View nursing and care staff - you are all very special people.

Oakview Lodge Care & Nursing Home is an excellent facility. The rooms are spacious and bright, complete with an ensuite. The staff are very attentive and caring and are always there to help. The home has an extensive and varied set of activities during the week, including a cinema and pub for the residents. The management staff have been excellent and very flexible in ensuring my mother is being well looked after. I am very happy I was able to get my mother there as a resident.

When my parent was admitted to Oakview Lodge, the first impression was that it does feel like a home and not a hospital. The corridors just in and out with bits of furniture and pictures which gives the feeling you're in a house. Looking down the hallways you cannot see lines of doors. The rooms are very spacious with underfloor heating and ensuite facilities. Reasonable-sized double-glazed windows. The food is very good and the lounge area has lots of space with tea and coffee provided.

I can't recommend Oakview Lodge enough. The staff are truly exceptional, kind, attentive and always go the extra mile. The facilities are top-notch, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment. Most importantly they've taken such wonderful care of our family member. It's a relief knowing they're in such good hands.

I can't fault anything about Oakview Lodge. The staff are amazing. Mum has been in Oakview since November 2023 and is very happy. The staff arrange daily activities and keep us posted on Mum's welfare. Although we as a family visit regularly and take Mum out, she is always happy to return to Oakview Lodge. I would highly recommend Oakview Lodge for your loved one. Thank you to all the staff.

Mum is so much happier now she is a resident at Oakview Lodge. The staff are always cheerful and Mum adores them. The family are very impressed with the safety and security and also regular outings with staff, plenty of activities which Mum enjoys. Well done to all the staff and management for their constant updates. A real down-to-earth team but professional.

This is a beautiful, welcoming home. There is a happy rapport between all staff who are exceptionally helpful and cheerful. The nurses are most caring and have given me the best of assistance after my operation. The ground floor room was clean and comfortable. There could have been more towel rails and hooks. The lunch and dinner menu always has two choices. If none of the choices appealed I could order something special. However, there was not much guidance on what else could be served. It took me a while to come to grips with it. A good stay!

We are beyond grateful for the extraordinary care my father has received over these last 4 years. This environment goes way beyond the hotel-like facilities that you first encounter. My dad is treated with dignity, love and humour and above all is listened to 24/7. My mother who comes to visit, is also looked after with grace and subtlety. Neither have ever been pushed into doing anything that doesn’t suit them. Nothing is forced or hurried. These wonderful caregivers answer a calling. It shows in all they do. Many times we managed to bring our entire family together from all over the globe. We had access to the large dining room for a huge feast. After that, we moved to the pub and loudly played music from our parent's era. We danced, sang, lived and loved through the rest of the day. Throughout, my dad had his diaper changed, his medication given and all needs seen to. This care continues daily. To all of you at Oakview Lodge; Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

Very friendly staff to residents and family. Efficient and caring and when asked to help, promptly assist. Always working hard and pass information on to other members of staff. Weekly activities are shown to all residents and offered to all. Food is basic, could be a lot better for private care!

My mother has always been treated with dignity and respect. The care workers are very considerate and are extremely good at, not only looking after her physically, but they also take time to engage with her so she feels valued. All the staff do a very good job catering to her needs.
