Residents are well cared for. Staff are always welcoming, and refreshments offered on every visit. Staff interaction with residents is friendly. Mum always enjoys her meals. The upstairs lounge is bright and comfortable and there are always staff present. The lounge has an outlook over the recreation ground so plenty of activities to be seen.

My Husband was placed here as an emergency respite care but from the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with care and helpfulness and a genuine interest in the needs of my Husband. We have very good communication with the Management team and all the staff we meet are friendly and helpful. He has settled in very well and enjoys the food and environment and when we visit he appears happy and content. We would recommend this Care Home.

I visit 2 or 3 times a week and always receive a warm welcome and refreshments. My sister is well cared for. The staff get on well together and are very caring towards all the residents. There is always someone to talk to about my sister if I have any worries and I am kept well informed about her.

I cannot thank all the staff, for all the care they do for my mum, she is treated the respect and care. I would always say that she is so very well looked after and she loves it here also. There is nothing they won't do to support my mum and even myself so only can thank them for this.

My mother has been a resident at Oak Lodge for around 18 months now, after a year at a large corporate home who decided they couldn't cope with her needs. We liked that home but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as that home ended up being investigated and now having her at Oak Lodge, we realise how comparatively poor it was. Oak Lodge has been brilliant for Mum. The staff are amazing and her face lights up when she sees some of them (she has severe Alzheimer's). She is clearly far happier here than at her previous home and it's obvious she's more safe and secure, not least because of the high staffing levels. As others have said, it's very like a nice hotel, with spacious rooms and everything is very clean. I genuinely can't praise the staff enough, and it's clear they seem to be happy working there, again something not always apparent at the previous home. I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone in the unenviable position of needing to place a relative in care.

The nursing home is very clean. My wife is very happy there. The staff are very good. The trouble is when I take a cream slice she eats the lot, never saves me one so I get a doughnut.

Absolutely outstanding care home. Staff are very attentive, friendly and well organised. Plenty of staff to go around for the residents, very well organised. Upon arrival, you are offered a hot or cold beverage which is a very nice touch indeed. This doesn't feel like a care home setting and when I say that it does not smell like a normal care home (urine/faeces) it has a very pleasant smell. The style and decor are like walking into a luxurious hotel. Management is absolutely outstanding. I can't thank everyone enough for what they have done for my father-in-law. Residents get fed 4 times a day and are also well watered. All staff have been retained so no high turnover of staff, the company are definitely doing something right. All levels of staff are amazing from the cleaners, caretakers, receptionists, carers and management. You will be peaceful to know they are well looked after. Well done to all the staff for making this place happen and work as it does.

The staff are always very kind, helpful and caring to residents at all times. Nothing is ever too much for them and it has been a joy to see how very caring they are. I couldn't have wished for a more caring home for my husband who has Alzheimer's.

My Mum has now been at Oakview for just over a month but I thought it would be useful to share my experience. Mum had come from her own home where she had 2 full-time carers, however, the time had come for her to move into residential care. From the initial viewing, I felt the setting was much more like a home environment rather than a care setting, I was so impressed with the information and the surroundings. An assessment was quickly arranged and Mum was settled in the home within a couple of days. As a regular visitor, I have been so impressed with how well she has settled in, each time she seems happy, calm, and content. Mum is now always clean, dressed in clean clothes daily and her overall appearance and mood have improved hugely since moving into Oakview. I feel supported by all of the lovely team at Oakview, I am informed about her care and any care decisions that need to be made. Any families making this huge decision should look no further than Oakview 10/10!

My sister was a resident at Oak View from March-Sept 2023. There is an opportunity for this place to be great, but it left me disappointed. The staff are polite and friendly, but there was little or no interaction between the staff and my sister other than calling her for meals and dispensing medication. My sister was not taken out for any excursion by staff either individually or on a group outing, despite the beach being very near. The only regular “activity” was the musical entertainment on Friday. The patio access is via a code-locked door and I rarely saw residents using it - mainly used by staff for their breaks. The laundry process needs attention because clothes regularly went missing which upset my sister. The “carehome.co.uk” website says there is a “Phone Point in own room/Mobile”, but no phone point and the care home bans mobile phones. This left my sister feeling isolated and lonely. In my opinion, the “luxury hotel environment ” claim in the home’s brochure does not reflect reality.

Mum was a resident at the home for five weeks and received excellent care. Her room was comfortable and always clean and fresh. The staff treated Mum with respect and care and was always friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The family was safe in the knowledge that she was being well looked after. I would highly recommend the home to anyone looking for care for a loved one.

Care at Oak View for Mom is excellent and always has been. The staff remain vigilant at all times as Mom is susceptible to infections; they catch these very quickly. Mom is loved and cared for and shows as she is always happy.

My husband has been at Oak View for two and a half years, and the care he has been given by the staff has been outstanding. They all go above and beyond to make his stay pleasurable. The home itself is modern and comfortable and caters for all the resident's needs. I can't praise this home enough.

As it had been my first visit in a long time, everyone was welcoming, helpful and friendly. Mum looked well, which I am sure is down to the care of all the staff who look after her, which I am always grateful for.

Excellent care.

The home is excellent and the level of care given to my mother has been first class. The communication has been most welcome and puts my mind at rest. Thoroughly recommend this home.
09 November 2022
Since our friend has been here everyone has been extremely helpful and positive. She has only been here a month and already there is improvement.

I attended a lovely Jubilee party at Oakview this month. All the residents were involved and included in a well planned and very enjoyable occasion. My husband especially had a really great time and was extremely well cared for by the staff. In fact when I visited today he told me that all the staff were very kind and caring. Something that I have been aware of for sometime. On a personal note, I would like to thank the staff who helped me last week when I arrived dishevelled and bleeding having taken a tumble while walking along the pavement to visit my husband.
