“I felt I had to write to thank you and all your staff at Oakland Court for all the help that you given to me and my parents. As you know, my parents' stay was originally intended to be a short one but they have now been with you for nearly a year.

The enthusiasm and dedication of all of your staff is an inspiration. Oaklands is always spotlessly clean and the food is excellent - always an important point especially for my Dad! My Mum and Dad are truly grateful for the care that they receive at Oaklands and we all would have no hesitation in recommending you. Having the knowledge that they are being well looked after has given me tremendous peace of mind and has taken away a lot of the worry.

Congratulations should also go to all of your team for their determined efforts in helping my parents be as comfortable as possible.

Many thanks again.

Yours sincerely,
Tim Lyons
