About Oakwood Care Centre
Oakwood is a residential care home in Stalybridge. We are home to older people, including many living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. We support younger adults too, and we offer respite stays. The things that decide whether a care home is any good are mostly unremarkable. Whether the toast arrives warm. Whether the call bell is answered. Whether the person who helps you wash knows you well enough to talk about something other than washing. If a person communicates in a particular way, we learn it and use it consistently. This is the foundation of the rest, not an adjustment at the edges. For residents with physical disabilities we plan the practical side around what somebody can still manage themselves rather than what is quickest for us, because independence given up for convenience is rarely handed back. For those living with dementia we protect the routine and ask families for the history that makes a person make sense to us. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. Relatives are welcome unannounced.
