Overall Experience

My father-in-law has been at Ocean Breeze for two years. The management and staff ensure that his health and wellbeing is taken care of accordingly. We are kept informed and updated of any changes in his wellbeing weekly or if needed daily. We are always made welcome. Since Covid 19, things have been

difficult but Ocean Breeze work to maintain stability for all concerned. It is a credit to management and staff for ensuring that father-in-law is in good hands and we feel confident that he is well looked after.

My wife has been in this care home since November 2019, it has been excellent. I cannot fault it in any way. If anyone else in a care home gets this standard they are very lucky.

I cannot speak too highly of the care my Uncle has received from Ocean Breeze. From the initial visit to assess him in hospital, through the process of admitting him and his care over the past year, the staff have been wonderful, caring, supportive, observant and always communicative with me and my

sister. A wonderful example of what a care home should be. Thank you to the Manager and team.

Overall Experience

Ocean Breeze Care Home really is a home to its residents. The staff treat everyone as if part of a family. Residents are cared for, entertained and fed extremely well. The standard of food offered is very good and anytime a resident may want alternatives, their requests are always positively met. I

truly believe my mother could not have been better cared for anywhere. The staff are amazing and the welcome extended to the friends and families of residents is so warm and genuine.
Ocean Breeze is a really happy and caring home, a real 'home'.

Overall Experience

Back in March when my sister and brother in law went into Ocean Breeze Residential Care Home, my brother in law only had 9 days there before he died. I cannot speak highly enough of the attention, dignity and care and love that was shown to him in his last 3 days he was dying. Overall I am satisfied

with the general standard of the home. The staff work hard and treat people with love and respect and my sister, considering the grief still, has settled very well. The biggest factor of annoyance is the laundry when my sister gets other peoples clothes and on occasion has been wearing them.

When looking for a care home for my father I visited several that were good and I'm sure would have taken good care of dad, however, I wanted somewhere where those caring for him would love him and want to get to know him well so they could provide the best of care for him and in Ocean Breeze, I feel

I found it. It has a homely atmosphere run by a great team.

Mum came to Ocean Breeze from a long stay in hopsital and I've been amazed at how well she has been built up from a frail condition by super dedicated staff concentrating on her every need.
Every day the time if filled up with lovely activities that everyone enjoys, mum has taken part in things she

has never done before. I come away knowing that mum is happy and in safe hands.

Overall Experience

My mother was previously in another local home where she did not leave her room on any occasion. I felt that this was not good for her at all and so after one month we moved her to the Ocean Breeze Residential Care Home. What a difference the staff at Ocean Breeze have made, my mother now looks forward

to joining in the homes many activities and is visibly so much happier. I cannot praise the staff enough for their genuine care, nothing is a problem to them and they always have a smile on their faces no matter what they are facing. My mother is 96 years old and we now expect her to be around for a long time yet thanks to the brilliant care that she enjoys at this home.

I would highly recommend Ocean Breeze to anyone looking for a safe, caring and happy 'family' home environment for their loved ones to live. Residents are treated with respect from caring staff who encourage, listen and engage with them through all manner of daily activities and tasks. Nothing is

too much trouble. Family and friends are invited to join in the fun at any time. Their view is "life is for living" and that is exactly what happens here.

My mother moved here from another care home and I have found that Ocean Breeze looks after her better. They ensure that she joins in activities and is not left in her room on her own, as was the case in the previous home.
Food is good and staff very friendly.

My dear Mum is a resident of this lovely establishment. She is in need of one on one care and after 18 homes had turned my Mum down Ocean Breeze did what was necessary to provide the care needed by employing extra help. The staff are very friendly and professional. The home itself is clean and has a

bight happy feel to it. They spend time doing lots of activities each day. The food is of a high standard too. The manager and deputy manager are the best, extremely knowledgeable and very professional.

I was very impressed by the cleanliness, care and compassion that I witnessed. I work at a social service agency in Canada and have high expectation of standards, so I believe I scrutinized more than the average individual.
I was also impressed by the constant activities that were taking place to

engage the residents.
The staff work hard at making it a great place to live for those that can't live independently anymore.

Ocean Breeze is a beautiful place to be. All of the staff are amazing, dedicated and so kind and caring to the residents, nothing is too much trouble. I am so relieved that my parents are here, they are comfortable, well fed and safe at last - as good as it gets away from their own home. I would

recommend this care home to anyone without reservation.

What a lovely day the residents were having when l popped in. Some were in the garden enjoying the sun all under gazebos with beautiful sun hats on and cool drinks, while others were having a sing song in the lounge. All songs were ones that most residents would know and they were all joining in. They

have just had a very successful garden fete with lots of family and friends attending, a huge raffle and lots of prizes and as usual, everyone made to feel very welcome. I was unable to stay late on the day l called but l wish l had, as l saw the most amazing strawberry cake, all home made ready for tea. This home is spotless and caters for the residents every need and all visitors are made to feel so welcome, l love going there, it's always smiley faces. Well done all staff, you should be very proud of yourselves.

I have visited my friend several times during her first week in Ocean Breeze. The staff have been kind, welcoming and friendly. They treat the residents with respect and give individual attention to them. There is a homely feel and residents are encouraged to join in with discussion/conversation.
There

is always a member of staff in the lounge which gives a much more caring feel. My friend is being well looked after and care is taken to make her feel good - i.e. she has had her nails painted.
