We had a fantastic afternoon yesterday as the wonderful Mike joined us for some live entertainment! 🎤

Our residents always love the chance to sing along to familiar, well-loved tunes, but here at Great Oaks, we never miss an opportunity to get up and have a dance together too! ❤️

A brilliant afternoon filled with music, movement and great company. Thank you, Mike, for keeping us entertained! 🎶✨

We had some very special visitors yesterday! 🦙

We were delighted to welcome the lovely Caramac and Liquorice, two beautiful alpacas, into Great Oaks! 🥰

Residents and relatives gave them both a very warm welcome, with plenty of gentle strokes and lots of questions about our new furry friends. It was wonderful to see everyone getting up close, learning more about them and enjoying such an unusual visit.

Thank you, Caramac and Liquorice, for stopping by and making our day that little bit more special. We look forward to welcoming you both back again soon! 💛🦙

Eyes down… 👀

It’s bingo time! 🥳😍

Yesterday, our residents came together for a fun-filled game of bingo, with plenty of laughter, smiles and a little friendly competition along the way!

Everyone was listening carefully for that all-important number, hoping to be the first to shout BINGO! A lovely afternoon spent together, with plenty of laughs along the way. 💛

We’ve been making the most of the lovely weather at Great Oaks! ☀️🌿

Our garden has been keeping us busy, with residents tending to the chickens, picking fresh raspberries and getting stuck into tidying up the flower beds.

There’s always something to be done outside at this time of year, although we’re not sure how many of the raspberries actually made it back inside! 🍓🐔 😍

We had a brilliant afternoon at Great Oaks last week when Chay came along to entertain us! 🎶

It didn’t take long before everyone was joining in, with plenty of singing and dancing throughout the afternoon. One of our residents even picked up the guitar and played along, which was great to see! 🎸

A big thank you to Chay for coming along! We had a great time! 😍

A little something for our four-legged visitors! 🐾 At Great Oaks, we know that pets are part of the family too. 💛

That's why we've created our very own Puppy Pad! A cosy little welcome station where visiting dogs can enjoy a fresh drink of water, a tasty treat and even a comfy spot to relax while they visit their loved ones.

We absolutely love welcoming wagging tails through our doors, and it's the little touches like this that help make Great Oaks feel like home for the whole family. 🐶✨

💍♥️A very special moment for Derek♥️💍

Our resident Derek's granddaughter Sophie got married last week, but unfortunately the journey was too far for him to travel and be there for her special day.

Sophie just had one special wish – a photo with her Grandad. So today, we did our best to recreate a little bit of her of wedding day, giving her the chance to have that precious photo with Derek 🥰📸

It was a beautiful and very special moment for everyone involved.

Congratulations to the happy couple, Mr & Mrs!💐🥂
Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness.❤️

Thank you so much to Megan for recreating the cake, truly stunning!😘

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.

Leo N, Husband of Resident

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.

Carolyn W, Daughter of Resident

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.

C B, Daughter of Resident

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.

I M, Daughter of Resident

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.

J B, Daughter of Resident

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.

Jill S, Resident

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.
