🌟 Today we enjoyed a lovely visit from Clare from Curiosity Case! 🌟

We always look forward to seeing what Clare has bought along in her case, and today was no exception! 🧳✨

It was wonderful to explore the memories and items from the past, sharing stories and reminiscing about days gone by. There were plenty of smiles, conversations and moments of nostalgia as we travelled down memory lane together.🩷

Thank you Clare, for another enjoyable and memorable visit. We're already looking forward to discovering what's in the case next time! 😊

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! ❤️

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.

L S, Friend of Resident

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.

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.
