Independent Living
5 / 5 ★The monthly fees are 'climbing'
Excellent staff and management
5 / 5 ★Everything Reasonably priced Excellent Chefs & Kitchen staff. Veery Caring Available Manager
Activities are Amazing
5 / 5 ★Very happy to have my 92 year old mum at the Oaks. She is keeping her independence but help on hand at all times. Love the Oaks and staff and other ladys at home. I visited about 8 resthomes and picked Oaks and am very happy.
Four Star
4 / 5 ★I have no regrets in choosing to move into a village eight years ago. There are seven villages around where I am. We are all good friends. Our activities are varied; we have our own large room, kitchen and toilet. We travel to various restaurants etc. Our staff are excellent and very approachable.
Good Bus Service
4 / 5 ★Turn over in staff not good.
Food
4 / 5 ★Wheel chair car parking - there are 3 dedicated wheelchair car parks ... BUT they are very very narrow, once I am parked in there is very little room between my car and the next to open the door and therefore very hard to get person from wheelchair into car ... only works if there are two beside each other that are free. Makes it hard to take my mum out and about if we use the wheel chair, just ok if using walker as she can just squeese between cars with walker, but sometimes wheel chair is need
A sad ending for our dad
1 / 5 ★[In my view, there are still unanswered questions about what happened.]
Review
1 / 5 ★[In my Opion] Do not recommend ever!
