About Oaklands Rest Home
Oaklands Rest Home is in Southampton, providing residential care for older people, including many residents living with dementia, along with respite stays for those who need care for a short period. We are a home rather than a hospital, and the difference shows in the things we pay attention to. Whether the food is worth looking forward to. Whether somebody gets to stay in bed on a wet Sunday if they want to. Whether the person helping you wash has enough time to do it without rushing you. Those are not the soft parts of care, they are most of it. Dementia support here rests on familiarity and patience. We keep the routine recognisable, we keep the staff team as steady as we can, and we take the time to learn about the life somebody had before they arrived. Knowing that a resident ran a shop for forty years, or raised four children, or cannot abide being fussed over, changes how every interaction goes. Families are welcome whenever suits them, and we would far rather hear too much from relatives than too little. Respite stays work well for carers needing a rest and for people recovering their strength after illness. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please visit, meet the residents and ask us anything at all.
