Still haven't guessed what's in the top secret box? Nicola, our Registered Manager, is here to let you in on the secret 🤫

It takes a village to raise a child, but it takes a dedicated, compassionate and united team to care for our senior residents living with dementia.

Our Oaklands team, across every single department, works around the clock to provide the quality of life our residents deserve - the absolute best.

In celebration of Carer's Week, our amazing residents have been busy crafting secret tokens of appreciation to say a massive thank you to our hardworking team. Every individual plays a role in making Oaklands feel like a second family.

When you're choosing a residential care home for a loved one, you aren't just looking for a building, you're looking for a passionate, empathetic team that shows up day in and day out with unwavering dedication.

Our residents know their stuff! 😌

From Technique to Targeting, our residents were in top form during our latest round of the Nine-Letter Word Game!

Keeping our minds sharp, engaged and challenged is a core part of daily life here at Oaklands and our residents always rise to the occasion, even cracking out a nine-letter word in the first three seconds!

We love our word games at Oaklands - cognitive stimulation doesn't just pass the time, it preserves memory, enhances social bonds and improves quality of life for our seniors.

How many words can you spot? 💜

Choosing the right residential care is about finding a home that supports both the physical and mental well-being of your family member. At Oaklands, we pride ourselves on building a warm, mentally stimulating and active environment.

There is nothing quite like a UK heatwave! ☀️

Our residents at Oaklands Rest Home have been soaking up the summer weather in style 😎

Staying social and active outdoors is a key part of the Oaklands care routine - ensuring our residents feel safe, engaged and full of life all season long.

Some of the benefits of spending time outdoors in the Summertime include Vitamin D boosts, helping to support residents' bone health, sensory stimulation and a decrease in stress.

What a beautiful day to bring the community together! Our recent Forget-Me-Not Cafe was an absolute delight, filled with laughter, fresh tea and wonderful company right out in the sunshine ☀️

We were thrilled to be joined by the lovely members of the Marchwood Women’s Institute, who added so much warmth and vibrant conversation to our afternoon - many of our residents were members of a Women's Institue and it was a privelege to welcome them to our home, creating meaningful social experiences for our residents. Thank you to all the ladies that stopped by! ✨

We also celebrated a birthday this cafe - many happy returns to our wonderful resident, Dennis! We hope your day felt extraordinary with us at Oaklands 💜

We would love for you to join our close-knit family. Come along for a cup of tea, tasty treats and friendly conversation at our next cafe.
