What Families Say

‘Don’t you take me back home,’ said my grandmother. She’d never been afraid of anything, but she was frightened about going home. She felt safe here.

It’s a nice, bright family place, where people are well looked after.

Everyone we asked said good things about Oaklands Nursing Home. We were concerned about her appetite before moving in, but here she’s put on a (much needed) stone in weight.

The staff at Oaklands are excellent. You just can’t fault them.

The nurse had a lovely warm smile and I know that my mother is better here. I have no hesitation in recommending Oaklands.

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.

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.

Mum has been at Oaklands Nursing Home for 3 months now and has settled in really well. The whole team are amazing from management to housekeepers – everyone genuinely cares and shows such compassion and empathy. Residents are kept busy with lots of activities and the food is lovely. I wouldn’t want my mum anywhere else.

My sister-in-law has been in Oaklands just over 3 weeks. During this time she has said that she feels safe and the staff who have been looking after her are very kind to her. She had to go to a hospital appointment last week. I would like to thank the management and staff for organising the transport and providing a member of staff to accompany her. She said that the member of staff was lovely and very kind to her. Thanks also to the staff for answering any questions we have asked when visiting and keeping us informed immediately when there was a change of date for a clinic appointment, and for reassuring us that it would be organised by them. As we live a very long way away this is very much appreciated.

My mother has been living at Oaklands since July 2025. I have always found the home staff to be warm, respectful, welcoming and a hive of activity going on. The staff can’t do enough for my mother, taking her out to local events, parks, cafes and shops. The management are readily available to help solve any minor issues if they arise. It’s a wonderful place and I am so pleased we managed to get her in at Oaklands.

The home is constantly upping their game when it comes to care, and I mean actual care. From days out for residents, to working with the community to bringing in exercise staff who engage with ALL individuals. It shows that they are always looking to improve the service they can give. The staff are lovely and work so hard.

Great care/nursing home, fantastic staff, lots of activities for everyone, food excellent, very clean environment, management extremely courteous to everyone. I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Oaklands to anyone.
