View Full Details of Yoakley HouseMy mother spent nearly five years in Yoakley House Care Home. This home is fantastic. It has a lovely ethos as it is charitably run and this ethos runs through the whole organisation. They manage to deliver exceptional care at an astonishingly reasonable price by today's standards. The staff are all lovely - they become almost friends with the residents and they were genuinely sad to see my mother leave. Also remarkable for the care sector these days, a good proportion of the staff have been working there many years. This is a very good sign as they clearly love working there. The building itself, although it was built in the 80s, is very spacious and light. There are a couple of things that more modern homes might have, such as larger en-suite bathrooms, but this doesn't ultimately matter. The gardens are utterly astonishing - like an Oxford College - beautifully maintained by exceptional gardeners to an incredibly high standard. The managerial team are excellent and very responsive.
My dad stayed for 2 weeks respite at Yoakley House, as it was the first time he was away from our mum in 61years of marriage we didn't know what to expect. He was looked after and cared for so well and the staff were so kind and helpful and he was very comfortable there. We would recommend Yoakley to anyone, and as dad has to go back for another couple of weeks due to mum having another operation we have no worries about him going again.
