Testimonials
| After a period living independently in Oakwoods Village, it became apparent that my mother required the extra support that the Rest Home facility would offer. Mum is now in her fifth year in the care facility and has been wonderfully looked after throughout this period. The staff have been very attentive and sensitive to Mum's needs and very accommodating of any concerns or questions that I have ever had. As 'next of kin' I have always felt very welcome and part of the Oakwoods 'family'. Graham |
