My father has been at Oaklands Nursing Home for nearly 1 year and he's settled in really well. The home is always clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. The staff are excellent and there are numerous activities to keep everyone interested and stimulated. It's so reassuring to know that after my visits, my father is safe, happy and with his friends. I really wouldn't want my father to be anywhere else.

I can't fault Oaklands Nursing Home and it's staff. My dads a stubborn and proud man who strives for independence and while that's not always possible for him Oaklands offer him patience, understanding and his dignity.

The care home was excellent, very caring and friendly staff. Management of the care home were absolutely brilliant, can't thank them enough for the care my husband received. It was like he was in a 5-star hotel not a care home, would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of care for a relative or partner.

My mum was sent to Oaklands Nursing Home from Burnley General it was not chosen by the family. I have worked in care homes earlier in my life and I can't say how pleased I was when I first went in to visit Mum. I knew it was going to be good for Mum and her needs the place was lovely and clean always and the staff were fantastic nothing was too much trouble and they treated you like old friends. I was worried that at one point they might have moved mum nearer to home but thankfully she got to stay and I couldn't thank them enough for the care and understanding they gave my mum.

My family were told my gran had to go into a home, we were broken, we always promised we would never put her in a home. The day we looked around, we were instantly put at ease, the whole vibe of Oaklands is lovely. We decided on Oaklands after looking around a few others, it was by far the most welcoming and friendliest of them all and I knew Gran would be happy here. They have activities everyday, including singers, trips out etc. My gran, unfortunately was very poorly and bedridden, but they made sure she didn't miss out, activities went to her, and the smile on her face said it all. All the staff were brilliant and like family, every one of them are an asset to the profession and worth their weight in gold! They made sure gran was happy and content 24/7. The management couldn't do enough for us as a family, nothing was ever too much, from the kind receptionist ringing us daily, to sitting with them and having a brew and a chat. Would highly recommend Oaklands to anyone.

December 2022 - February 2024 My Grandma was in Oaklands for 14 months, we had looked round a couple of other homes but Oaklands just stood out, the cleanliness, facilities and the relationships the staff had built with the residents, we knew that's where our special lady would spend her final months. Oaklands allowed my Grandma to do that with dignity, pain free and familiar faces each day which helped us and my grandma to build relationships with staff that us as a family now class as friends, who we could trust to care for her. I visited my grandma most days, she was always clean, comfortable and happy. Oaklands go above and beyond for their residents and their families, Oaklands staff were particularly good with my Grandad. One thing that did stand out for me with Oaklands was the amount of activities that were on offer for the residents, they would have a full timetable each week and the food if residents didn't want something they would offer them alternatives to suit. Oaklands is a special place.

My mum has been in Oaklands for just over 6 months. The change in her from the previous care home is remarkable. All staff go above and beyond and we are always greeted by the manager when we arrive, she always goes out of her way to see us. We are kept well informed on all of Mum's care. I cannot rate this home enough. A home-from-home.

Our mum was transferred from hospital into Oaklands Care Home in September 23, it was the hardest decision that we have ever had to make as we had been looking after our mum at home. The manager went above and beyond to make sure our mum came into the care home due to some issues with us not living in Lancashire. All the staff looked after our mum so well and also welcomed us whatever time of day we wanted to visit, we could stay for an hour or 4 hours, it wasn't a problem. Any concerns that we had were discussed immediately and a solution given to us. Our mum had a very rare condition but the manager made sure that all staff were familiar with it by printing off paperwork for them to read. We as a family enjoyed 'singing for the brain' and other activities which they provide at Oaklands, there is always something going on. Our mum passed away in February 24 and without the help, knowledge and support from the staff we could not have got through this time.

My mum went into the care home in September 2023, this was not an easy decision but Oaklands staff really looked after Mum and us through a very difficult time in our lives. Mum passed away in February 2024 and Oaklands did everything they could to support us all right up to the very end, we wouldn’t have got through it all without them they were just amazing and Mum really liked all of them.
07 May 2024
I found the standard of care at Oaklands exceptional - there were certain staff members who developed deep and meaningful relationships with my mum that continued even when we'd moved her nearer to family. During her time at Oaklands staff were patient, caring and kind to Mum and to us as a family. The activities and opportunities offered during her time with you gave Mum a quality of life and when I was visiting we enjoyed joining in music and craft activities together.

Our mother entered residential care in May 2023, but sadly passed away in February 2024. Throughout her time at Oaklands Nursing Home all staff treated our mother with the utmost respect, care and professionalism. Her needs were catered for without question and all staff, from the management team through to the very nice lady who did the laundry, she could not have been in better hands.

My mum is now in her 3rd week at Oaklands. All the staff are fantastic and have made Mum (age 96) feel very welcome. They have tried so hard to let her keep as much independence as possible whilst ensuring her safety. Too many staff to mention personally, but the manager, her assistant and the kitchen manager ensure their teams provide the best care. Thanks to all the staff.
06 September 2022
I have found the care at this home to be excellent. It's very clean, tidy and friendly. The food is lovely, and I can leave my dad knowing he is safe and well looked after. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality care in the area.

It is a very difficult and emotional decision to place your mother into a home and it really did take quite some back and forth for a number of years. Ultimately we realised that Oaklands would be the best place for her to provide my mother with the quality of life that she deserves. Around the clock care but with activities, family visits, laughter and great meals and treats. We are very thankful to the Oaklands staff for all that they do.

My father-in-law recently asked to move into a care home after spending a few months in a local hospital. Before this he had been living in sheltered accommodation and has poor eyesight and mobility, with a number of health issues that require nursing care. My husband and I chose Oaklands because of the warm feeling we experienced when visiting the home and the excellent reputation. Our experience so far has been really positive and the home is kept clean and tidy and feels very homely. There are regular activities for my father in law and he is now happy there.

My mother-in-law was a resident until she passed away last week, and we as a family could not thank the staff enough for the care and attention she was given from her first moving in, to her final days there. If anyone is looking for a care home look no further. And finally we just want to wish all the staff a big, big thank you for the care and support we received in Mum's final days we couldn't ask for any more.

I cannot possibly rate this nursing home highly enough. Having heard 1st hand from people's experiences and also after reading reviews we decided to place our mum here for end-of-life care and were definitely not disappointed. Oaklands Nursing Home is very well run and we found the staff to be extremely approachable, respectful, caring and positive in every other aspect that you could possibly wish for and we can say without a doubt that Mum couldn't possibly have been better cared for. Firstly we found out through mum's own personal experience how lovely the staff were, and then from our own as sadly the end of her life drew near, when, in all honesty, we just couldn't have had more support or compassion from either the day or night staff. Placing a loved one in someone else's care and trusting them to look after them is definitely one of the hardest most stressful things you have to do, but we can only say how glad we are that we chose Oaklands Nursing Home and also how highly we recommend this nursing home.

The staff at Oaklands are very welcoming and caring. They are approachable and friendly. The nursing care they gave my mum-in-law was first class and would I definitely recommend them to care for your loved one.

Dad is a relatively new resident but he has been treated with great care and respect. The staff are very attentive and seem keen to make all the residents and their visitors feel at home.

This is a wonderfully welcoming care home. My dear friend has been here for a number of years and he is truly looked after. Not only is he able to choose exactly when he would like his breakfast, but he is also able to select what he would like at mealtimes from a broad range. On his birthday when I last visited their kitchen chefs made him whatever cake he wanted and it was just marvellous. Must have taken them ages but nothing is too much trouble. Everyone sang happy birthday to him, his room had just been newly refurbished and the church came to visit for a service after dining and a musical number or two. One day we may all reach the stage that we too may need to go into care. I just hope that I am so lucky to be looked after as well as my friends staying at Oaklands.
