We received this outstanding review on carehome.co.uk! A massive well done to the incredible staff team 👏👏
“My dad struggled to find an appropriate place until we came across Oaklands, and the team there have provided him with great care and support through some challenging times.
I never thought he would settle in a care home, but he seems very at home there.
The manager, seniors and staff are very supportive of me as well as my dad, always keeping me in the loop and helping me to help my dad.
It gives me great peace of mind to know my dad is somewhere he is happy, safe, supported and well cared for”

We helped the residents to make these beautiful crepes paper roses. First, we chose our colours for the roses then once we had made them we added our own choice of essential oils so they would smell lovely. Whilst we worked we all enjoyed a good chat about our favourite flowers, and of course, we had tea and cakes.

We have been getting the home ready for Halloween. The residents got together and made some spooky ghosts out of recycled milk cartons which we used to decorate trees outside with them. We think they look fantasticly spooooky!

We had lots of fun with some Karaoke! We sang along to songs we all remembered from years ago, we also got the lyrics on the big iPad so we could all have a go at singing just in case we forgot the words. We had the pompoms out, everyone had such a brilliant time. After, we enjoyed cakes and soft drinks.
