Overall Experience

I have to say I am very impressed with the staff and the way it is run at Oakiew. If you want to ask anything the staff even though they are always busy will give you the time. I must say that one of the staff lights up the room with her energy. Very caring and someone I admire for her loyalty and care.

It was mine and my husband's 40th anniversary. We had a party for family and friends and residents. It went very well. The weather was good, the staff were brilliant. We had a wonderful day, my son and his wife who are singers provided the entertainment. My husband who had a stroke and cannot communicate

very well had a wonderful time. Cannot praise the staff enough for the day.

I will be eternally grateful to Oakview and all their amazing staff. My dad passed away peacefully under the loving care and kindness of Oakview. As a family we were able to stay the night before he passed, laugh around his bed, tell him how much we all loved him and he had no pain and was cared for

with such kindness and dignity until he passed. Thank you for giving us peace of mind with our loss.

I have found Oak View to be a lovely, caring, inclusive environment for mom. The staff are caring and treat her with respect and is too much trouble for them, taking allergies etc into consideration.
Overall the best decision I could have made for Mum's care.

Overall Experience

All the staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable around Mom's likes and dislikes. I do visit daily so have seen first hand the care the staff take to meet Moms' needs. We have only had a few questions throughout Mom's residence and we were able to discuss with staff openly and confidently that the

issue would be addressed and amended .
Mom is settled, she feels safe and likes that she can access different levels for entertainment.
It would be nice if Mom could access more activities in the home. Mom loves crafts and watching others and still has a voice!
It would be nice if the staff were able to spend more one-to-one time chatting and playing games with Mom.
Overall very happy.

Looking after elderly people can be very demanding but the staff know how to handle difficult situations and calm and reassure the resident. My relative is treated with respect as am I if I have any concerns or queries.

Overall Experience

My Mum has been resident at Oakview for ten months now and the whole family is very happy with her care. The staff are warm and kind, the communication is always good, and I have complete trust in everyone involved in Mum's care. Before she came to Oakview she was in a different care home for eighteen

months, and the experience wasn't so good, so when she moved we were anxious in case it didn't work out, but we have been so happy. I visit Mum up to five times a week and always feel welcome and part of a family, which is lovely and reassuring. I wish I'd brought her here from the start.

Thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to write a review! It means a lot to us that you and the whole family feel satisfied with the care provided at our care home.

From the day my mom went into Oakview to the day she passed the staff were amazing. From the management to the cleaners this place made such a upsetting and difficult time so much easier I can't thank them enough.
When occasional issues did arise they were addressed immediately.
The cleaners keep

this home spotless.
The carers are attentive and caring.
The management are always available to speak to.
We couldn't have chosen a better place for my beautiful mom to be cared for thank you.
