Home care that makes a difference

Many of Oakhaven Care’s clients could be described as vulnerable and require various levels of care, which could include regular care visits, respite care, convalescent care, live-in care and palliative care. The team supports clients with daily tasks such as personal care, medication, preparing meals and fluids, help in the home, nighttime care, getting to appointments, and much more, including, importantly, companionship to combat isolation.

Being able to continue to live in their home environment whilst receiving an outstanding level of care allows people to retain a level of independence, and also crucially, it enables them to continue living a happy and fulfilling life in the familiar surroundings they know and love, close to family, friends, their community and, if they have them, their pets.

Another thing that distinguishes Oakhaven Care Ltd from its peers is that it really does see clients as individuals, and as such, no two care plans are ever the same. Oakhaven Care is committed to finding the best and most cost-effective way of meeting the client’s needs and aspirations, which will form the basis of their personalised care plan.

First-class care in your own home - with close links to Oakhaven Hospice

Oakhaven Care works closely with Oakhaven Hospice. All Oakhaven Community Care Assistants are fully trained and have the skills and knowledge required to offer the best level of care. The staff go that extra mile and value the connections they have with their clients.

Erica Longyear, Managing Director of Oakhaven Care, explains, “Over the past twelve years, Oakhaven Care has grown from a small team to now employing over sixty carers. We are all passionate about providing the very best standard of personalised care for all our clients.

“Carers and clients alike, we are very proud of the contribution we make towards our local hospice charity. Just a small proportion of Oakhaven Hospice’s costs are covered by the government, and therefore, in donating all our profits, we are helping to provide hospice care for our whole community.”

Andrew Ryde, Chief Executive of Oakhaven Hospice, said, "We'd like to wholeheartedly congratulate everyone at Oakhaven Care for achieving this recognition. The team works hard to provide first-class home care, ensuring the highest levels of professionalism and training at all times. Oakhaven Care is very much a part of the Oakhaven family, we are immensely proud of the outstanding service they provide to clients, the excellent camaraderie within the team and the contribution they provide to support the Hospice each year. Well done everyone!"
