About Oaklands Nursing Home

Oaklands Nursing Home is a nursing home in Hereford. We provide nursing care for older people and younger adults, we support people living with dementia, people with mental health conditions, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment, and we offer respite stays for those who need care for a shorter period. Qualified nurses on site mean that somebody whose health is complicated or changeable can stay with us as their needs increase rather than being moved on, and that clinical decisions are made promptly by people who already know them well. The nursing is only part of it, though. Most of what makes a day worth having happens elsewhere, in conversation, in familiar belongings around a person, in a chair by a window, in family who come and go easily. We give that as much attention as the clinical side, and for people with sight or hearing loss we pay close attention to lighting, familiar layouts and unhurried conversation. We want to be plain about where we stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We accept that finding and are working through the areas it identified. Please visit, ask about the rating directly and judge us on what you actually find here.
