The home’s caring team has created a family atmosphere.

Hi, I’m Ana and I am the General Manager here at The Oaks Care Home. Welcome to our website.

With a nursing career that began in 2015, elder care has always been my passion. Prior to joining The Oaks, I gained valuable experience as the Deputy Manager at another care home, which prepared me well for my current role.

At The Oaks, I am thrilled to be part of the Aurem family, where I lead a dedicated team committed to providing exceptional care and support to our residents. Our goal is to deliver a high-quality service that caters to the unique needs of each individual. We pride ourselves on having a wonderful home environment and an outstanding team.

Our mission at The Oaks Care Home is to build a community that feels welcoming, cheerful, and vibrant. We focus on ensuring that our residents enjoy enriched and meaningful lives. Central to our philosophy is treating each resident with the same compassion and respect that we would want for our own loved ones.

We believe that every resident deserves to lead a life filled with interesting activities and fulfilling experiences. Our team works tirelessly to create a stimulating and supportive environment where everyone can thrive.

I invite you to visit us, have a chat, and discover more about the exceptional care and vibrant life we offer at The Oaks. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing what makes our home so special.
