About Oakwood Care Home
Oakwood Care Home is a residential home in Birmingham for older people, offering both permanent places and shorter respite stays. We look after people who need help with the ordinary business of the day: getting washed and dressed, taking medication on time, eating well, moving safely around the building and having somebody to talk to. A good number of the people who live here are living with dementia, and our approach to that is practical. We keep routines steady, we keep the surroundings easy to make sense of, and we take the time to understand what a person is telling us even when the words do not come easily. Meals are a proper part of the day rather than an interruption to it, and we pay attention to what people actually like to eat. There is a rhythm to the week, with things to join in with for those who want them and quiet for those who do not. Respite stays are important to us too. Families looking after a relative at home need rest, and a planned stay here can make the difference between coping and not coping. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We are easy to reach from across Birmingham, and we would encourage anyone considering a move to visit, meet the team and see how the day feels.
