Excellent care home! Exceptional staff - always friendly, upbeat, positive, and very kind and gentle with the residents. Beautifully clean and tidy with modern decor. Fantastic food with a nutritious range of products. Thank you for all you do.

My mum has only been in Oakeshott for a couple of weeks, but the standard of care she has received in that short time has been nothing short of excellent. Oakeshott has an exceptional and very approachable management team who will stop short of nothing to ensure my mum receives the best care possible. Oakeshott is a beautiful nursing home which is immaculately kept and would give many 5-star hotels a run for their money.

This is a beautiful home. Staff are very pleasant and helpful. The only downside is it's very expensive.

I wished my friend to feel safe, secure and happy in the care home, and that is the status quo.

My mother has been a resident of Oakeshott House for six months now. She has been well cared for in all that time. Unfortunately, Mum's health has declined and is receiving palliative care. As a family, we believe she is receiving care second to none and we cannot thank the staff enough for the care and support they give Mum and us as a family.

Sadly my mother recently passed away at Oakeshott House. She became a resident in June 2022 because of Alzheimer's and the care and support she received was fantastic. She was a very strong-willed lady and the staff were brilliant at finding the balance between persuading and understanding when something would be too upsetting. She always said how much she loved it there and although the decor etc was a factor, it was clearly how nicely she was treated that was the most significant factor. My mum suffered a stroke and was on an end-of-life pathway for 12 days. This is when we truly realised how much she was loved by everyone at Oakeshott. From incredible nursing care and dealing with her medical needs to the dignified way she was physically cared for, nothing was too much trouble. The lasting memory I will have is of how close the staff were to Mum and how they were personally affected by her passing. You have no idea the difference they made to us and we will never forget it.

My mother has been in your care in Oakeshott House Care Home for about three months and my brothers and I are really happy with how well she is looked after. The staff are very friendly and show genuine care and affection for my mum. She is well-fed and has put on much-needed weight in the short time she has been there. Thank you all so much.

My husband went to stay in Oakeshott House for one week of respite care. He has heart failure but is mentally good. He received help with showering and toileting but was able to walk to the dining area and was about to enjoy the hotel-like facilities. The carers were good, and there was excellent 24-hour nursing cover if required and who supervised medication. We would use Oakeshott House for respite care again.

I helped to settle my dear friend into Oakeshott House on behalf of his wife. My dear friend has Alzheimer's and is a true gentleman of exceptional taste with extremely high standards. Upon first inspection, Oakeshott House seems like a five star hotel, from the high quality of interior design to the exceptional cleanliness and the superb teamwork headed by the manager and assistant manager - both of whom have made extraordinary efforts to accommodate my friend. As I have continued to visit this lovely nursing home, my impression remains the same: Excellent. The telephone is always answered, and the reception remains welcoming and relaxing, whilst the subtle yet effective security measures (such as keypads on the lift) keep the more vulnerable dementia residents safe. Every member of the staff truly cares. I'm so grateful. Thank you. Well done!

The staff at Oakeshott House were superb in making my mum comfortable in her last days. Professional and caring - they took care of her and my dad as he faced the inevitable.

After looking at other care homes in the area we are so glad we chose Oakeshott House for our parents. Dad moved there in July after being in another care home and he couldn't be better looked after. Dad and our family and friends have been made so welcome by the management and all of the staff in this beautiful, modern and very clean care home. He is well cared for and well-loved by all the team. Mum moved to Oakeshott in September after a spell in hospital and then finding she couldn't manage at home without Dad. She has now settled into her routine at Oakeshott House and really appreciates the care she is receiving and enjoying the standard of her beautiful new home. As a family, we cannot praise Oakeshott House management team enough, initially for getting my parents move to them carried out quickly and compassionately and now for the rest of the team looking after my parents on a daily basis. At a time of crisis for us this year, we could not have wished for better care and support.

My grandfather has been here for a few months now, I am made to feel very welcome and the staff are always friendly and professional. I feel like they are giving my Gramps the best care possible. Very modern environment and feels a lot like a hotel!

My mother has settled in well and constantly tells me it is very nice in the home, the people are very kind, the food is very good and that she is staying in a 5-star hotel for retired people! The facilities are superb and having looked at 4 other local care homes, I am very confident and happy that there is no better home in the area offering the quality of care and comfort as Oakeshott house. They have managed her personal care extremely well, and are very professional at coping with her dementia-related behaviour. It is lovely to know that she feels safe and cared for and is not lonely and vulnerable as she was in her own home.

Having been a resident here since April 2022, I have never been happier in my life. I have reserved all my independence and am very comfortable at the premises. The staff are exceptionally kind and nothing that you ask them to do is ever a bother to them. Visitors are made very welcome and visitors are all conscious of the informality of things and feel that I am very lucky to be here. There are very nice and plentiful rooms for sitting in and hosting visitors. The food is very tasty, however, I am also out for lunch frequently. It's a real home from home and it's nice to think that if my health gets poorer, I will not have to move out. I feel that the home is extremely well-run, clean and very friendly. I am very much looking forward to the arrival of the new activities coordinator.

My father is a resident and the care he receives has been fantastic. All the family are made to feel very welcome when visiting and the staff are always on hand to answer questions. The quality of the building, the surrounding grounds and facilities are exceptional. I would highly recommend.

My husband was transferred from a different care home in June. This was to be nearer his family. The transfer and welcome he received from Oakshott House were excellent. The preparation that went into his transfer made his move stress free and he has settled down well in his new surroundings. All the staff at Oakshott House are very caring and kind, they carry out their duties in a calm and professional manner which all adds up to a reassuring place for your relative to live and a welcoming place to visit.

This is a beautiful, well-kept care home. The care given to my brother is amazing, nothing is too much trouble. The staff are lovely, always checking on him and making sure he is comfortable. The staff also made sure we were looked after when visiting. They are all very kind.

My father moved to Oakshott House in June from another care home and the manager and deputy manager coordinated an incredibly smooth transfer. They organised a handover with the previous home and ensured that everything my father needed was in place before the move. The whole staff team have worked hard to help Dad, and the rest of the family, feel at home in Oakshott House. The environment is five-star and the staff team are friendly, welcoming and very professional. Thank you.

My mum entered Oakeshott House in April of this year until she passed away this month (July). The care and compassion my mum was shown by every member of staff who came into contact with her was excellent. She was treated with dignity, especially in her final days and we as a family, a very large family, were allowed to treat Oakshott as if it were our home and come and go as and when we wanted right up to the end, which was a huge comfort to us all. Oakeshott is a beautiful home and I would have no hesitation recommending it to anyone who was considering it for a loved one needing to go into care.
