The Oaks Residential Care Home in St Ann's

Our objective is to provide all residents with a life that feels as normal as possible, tailored to their specific health and care needs. We foster a homely atmosphere that enables them to live as independently as possible, while ensuring their privacy and dignity are respected, and allowing them to make their own choices.

Each resident is provided with personal care whenever needed, day and night. We make sure that their needs are thoroughly assessed and documented in a detailed care plan, which is created in collaboration with their caregivers and family members.

Our care team are available around the clock to help with any needs, whether it's daily tasks like washing and dressing or enjoying a friendly and reassuring chat over a cup of tea. We warmly welcome friends and family, who are essential in creating a comfortable, home-like environment.
