Oak Mount Care Home

Our family has run Oak Mount Care Home in Ringwood, for over 20 years. We live locally and we are in the care home on a daily basis, ensuring that everything is run to our very high standards and that our residents are happy and well cared for. Our vast experience has allowed us to create a homely and friendly environment, while still complying with all legislation. We encourage you to look at our latest inspection report, of which we are very proud.

We are a small 21-bed home, with a very consistent staff; most of them have worked for us for years. We feel this size of care home is ideal, as it means that all of our staff, and of course our very experienced Manager, Debbie, are involved with each of the residents on a daily basis.

This means that every member of staff knows each of our residents inside and out, so they are not just cared for in terms of their physical needs, but also looked after in those important little ways. They might know that Bob loves a chat about football, that Doris used to work as a hairdresser and that Gladys likes to help set up the tables for dinner.

The intimate knowledge of our residents is where we are different to some larger, more “corporate” establishments: Oak Mount is the relaxed environment which most of us imagine when we are looking for a care home for Mum or Dad. We believe this so strongly that in recent years we have had three of our own Grandparents as long term residents of the home.
