It’s a job to know where to start in complimenting Oak Lodge. The word ‘Care’ in care home isn’t sufficient to describe the care, love, and attention everyone receives at Oak Lodge. The staff make friends of residents and visitors alike and always greet you by name. They know the residents and treat them with dignity and respect making sure they are comfortable and happy.
On entering Oak Lodge, beautiful gardens lift your spirits. Inside is clean and bright everywhere. Mum and Dad were always in fresh clothes, and medication was meticulously given. Home-made cake mid-afternoon. There’s plenty of fun too; one day two penguins came to visit and one called Widget sat on Dad’s lap. Then they waddled off to explore the home! As Dad said: ‘At Oak Lodge you can still have amazing new experiences even when you’re 93!’ But the staff make this place; in truth, I have never been anywhere with so many kind, patient, and competent people under one roof. I’ve learned a lot from them. I’m so glad that Mum and Dad’s last months were made so comfortable, and in turn, this leaves me feeling very happy.
As he became bedbound, in ‘end of life’ care for several weeks I truly witnessed (visiting all of most days) in a total transparent way the devotion and love of the carers towards him and his increasing needs.
