From daily support with routine tasks and personal care to round-the-clock assistance and specialist care, our experienced team provides the help needed to inspire each resident to live life to the fullest.
We believe personalised care begins with the little details, whether it’s knowing when residents like to wake up, how they take their tea, or understanding their daily routines. This attention to individual preferences allows us to tailor their experience to suit their unique needs and interests. Residents have the freedom to choose how much support they require, allowing them to maintain their independence within a vibrant, homely community.

Byron Nadgie is our Home Manager at Oaklands House Care Centre, here’s a little bit more about himself and the home in his own words:

I actively promote the highest standards of care by working closely with families, colleagues, and residents to make sure every resident receives the support they deserve.

Getting Social
If you were to ask our residents where they would like to pop out to, invariably they would say Haskins Garden Centre. A popular favourite with our Oaklands family, it offers stimulus for all the senses.
A wander through Haskins is often a wander down memory lane, reminiscing of previous visits with family and friends. Residents Audrey, Barbara and Myrna are all previous patrons and were pleased to be included on this return visit, enjoying being out in the community and accompanied by our volunteer, Pam.
Myrna took great pleasure in seeing the vibrant spring plants and trying out summer hats, Audrey eyed up some clothes she would quite like for Mother’s Day and Barbara delighted in the whole experience.
Another draw is the large, friendly restaurant, offering an abundance of amazing cakes, it took quite a while and two visits along the counter for decisions to be made!!
All agreed it was a lovely way to spend a morning and our ladies are looking forward to more trips out soon.

Well deserved Dave. Always willing to help, especially when the tv's or remote controls don't behave themselves! Can turn his hand to most things.
Well done you xx👍🏼🥳
Natalie, a newcomer to Oaklands, was welcomed into our home by enthusiastic residents for her debut appearance.
Singing well known songs from bygone eras, her audience spiritedly sang along, as well as showcasing some spontaneous moves on the dance floor .
Music can help a person with dementia to connect with the past by evoking memories, feelings, and emotions that they might otherwise find hard to express. It can help improve communication and relationships.
We look forward to Natalie returning to entertain us in the future.

Amazing Oaklands House Nursing Home 👏👏👏
A stunning Valentines afternoon tea was presented to some of our wonderful ladies, joined by their husbands, for this special celebration.
The spread was truly inspired, From savouries through to sweet, everything was designed with love, thanks our talented Chef Toulla.
The Vintage Café and tables were romantically decorated with the heart in mind, along with fresh roses. Bottles of sparkly popped, and melodies of love filled the room.
A memorable time was spent in our quaint Vintage Café, everyone had a wonderful time.
