and everyone joined in to sing Happy Birthday as he was presented with a birthday cake made by our head chef. Great Oaks is home for our residents and it is therefore imperative they are made to feel part of the day-to day running of it.”
The luxurious care home opened in June, following a successful Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection, and is welcoming residents to the home for residential, nursing, dementia and palliative care. Short-term respite stays are also offered at the home, which is discreetly located within a private woodland setting on Poole Lane. The idyllic location of Great Oaks offers residents a restful atmosphere, which is enhanced by the landscaped garden. It features raised flower beds and a vegetable patch, which green-fingered residents are welcome to help maintain. Organic seasonal vegetables and the herbs that are grown in the garden are used wherever possible in the meals prepared by Great Oaks’ catering team to enhance the taste and nutritional value of the dishes.
The architecture of Great Oaks has been designed with large windows and verandas to ensure a light and airy space is created throughout the home to promote healthy wellbeing. All bedrooms are generously sized with a private en-suite wetroom, movement-triggered lights, and adaptable lighting levels to suit the residents’ needs. The building also features underfloor heating for the benefit of its residents.
Great Oaks is the latest addition of an established family of care homes managed by Encore Care Homes, with two other care homes in Dorset and Hampshire. The 80-bed care home is fitted with state-of-the-art facilities, which are designed to enable staff to provide the highest standard of 24- hour,
