About Oakdene House
At Oakdene House, we provide residential care for a wide range of people in the heart of Erith, Bexley. Our home supports older adults, younger adults, and people living with learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We also offer respite care for those who need a short break or some additional support at a particular point in their lives. We think it matters that people feel genuinely at home here, not just looked after. That means getting to know each person properly, understanding what is important to them day to day, and making sure their care reflects who they are rather than just what they need. Whether someone is staying with us for a short while or has made Oakdene House their permanent home, we aim to offer the same warmth and consistency throughout. Our team works hard to create an atmosphere that feels calm, friendly, and respectful. We take time to listen, and we encourage the people in our care to remain as independent as possible while knowing that support is always close by. Families and loved ones are always welcome, and we believe that staying connected to the people who matter most plays a real part in someone's wellbeing. We are pleased that our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an overall rating of Good. It reflects the genuine effort our staff put in every day, and it gives families some reassurance when they are making what can be a difficult decision. If you are considering care for yourself or someone you love, we would encourage you to come and visit us. There is no better way to get a feel for Oakdene House than to walk through the door and meet the team in person. We would love to hear from you.
