What people say about us
I am so happy that my wife has settled in so well at Great Oaks, mainly due to the superb care provided by all staff and management, as this came as a surprise to me my wife being admitted, not only for my wife but also helped put my mind at rest. So with all the help and advice from all, I give them a 100% with no reservation.
I feel that my mother received excellent care at Great Oaks and don't feel that she could've got any better care. All staff and carers were able to meet her needs perfectly and personally, I couldn't be more grateful, I can't thank everyone enough.
Everyone here all seem to enjoy what they do. There's always plenty to do - trips, singers, games and the girls are also super happy and friendly to chat with, and lovely to see them smiling with Mum knowing she is happy and in the best hands. Food always looks well presented, and the home always seems to be in a positive atmosphere. Thank you.
Very well-managed and organised home. Excellent accommodation. Very caring and kind staff, who truly care about their residents. There are organised activities for the residents to join in. The food is also very good.
Can now rest assured Mum is receiving 24-hour care from an extremely attentive care team. The activity team excel with either activities / animal therapy / entertainers (or even trips) every day to stimulate their minds and well-being. It is a very happy and positive environment. I look forward to visiting.
It is very reassuring for me to know my friend remains well cared for in a place I would be proud to be a part of the care team. I have worked in Dementia Care for 23 years in various roles. I am always welcomed warmly on every. Great Oaks feels like a very large and extended family, and I am always very grateful to all the staff who make this place a special home for my friend and all those that reside there.
All the staff and management are excellent. Everyone is very friendly, kind and caring. They do all they can to keep you happy. They listen to any concerns. The food is good. The rooms are gardens are very nice. The managers are friendly and approachable. I like it here.
I was very impressed by the very high standard of care given to the resident by the staff of all ages. The end-of-life care was so supportive, giving reassurance and sensitive care to the resident, meeting his needs on every occasion. The staff always greeted the visitors in a friendly way.

🍂WOW! What a busy October we've had!🍂
From exciting day trips out, fantastic singers and relaxing spa days, to welcoming Oak Academy and Orchard Nursery back, we've certainly had plenty to celebrate!❤️
We also had the wonderful opportunity to celebrate our Bon Voyage Club when we headed to Japan!🇯🇵We got into the Japanese spirit by making delicious sushi, enjoying iced matcha, learning about Haiku poetry and having a go at the beautiful art of origami! What a fantastic way to explore Japanese culture! 🍣🍵🗾
🌏 Looking ahead to November….🇮🇳
We're getting ready to travel to India, alongside even more exciting trips, new sessions and plenty of opportunities to make more wonderful memories!
Another month full of laughter & special moments!
Keep your eyes peeled for our November planners and posters so you don't miss out on all the exciting things coming up!
If you don't see me please just ask for me as I am probably busy under some Christmas trees 🎄 getting ready for the big day, but any of the pink ladies will help!

What a fun afternoon we had playing skittles and hot potato!🥔🎳
Our residents had a fantastic time joining in games, with plenty of laughter, excitement and friendly competition. We're not sure who had more fun – the residents or Michelle!! 😀
It was wonderful to see everyone getting involved and enjoying each other's company. 💕
