About Oaklands House Care Centre
Oaklands House Care Centre is a nursing home in Southampton. We care for older people and younger adults who need qualified nursing alongside daily support, including people living with dementia and people managing a mental health condition. Nursing care here is meant to be quiet and competent rather than clinical in feel. Nurses are on hand, we work closely with GPs, district nurses, mental health teams and hospital services, and we would always rather flag a change early than watch it develop. What makes that possible is staff who know the people they look after well enough to notice when something is not right. For residents living with dementia we keep the day calm and familiar, allow time, and treat distress as something with a cause rather than a symptom to be managed. Families help us here by telling us about a person's life, and we use what they share rather than file it. Where somebody is living with a mental health condition, we plan support with them, agreeing in advance what helps when things are difficult and who they would want involved. Respite and short stays are available, including support to recover after a hospital admission. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering nursing care for someone, we would be glad to show you round and answer your questions.
