About Us
Here at Oak View, we provide residential care for adults in the heart of St Leonards on Sea, East Sussex. We support people with learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities and younger adults who need a little extra help with day to day life, whether that is on a long term basis or through short term respite stays.
We believe that everyone who comes through our doors deserves to feel genuinely at home. That means getting to know each person properly, understanding what matters to them, what they enjoy, how they like their days to go, and making sure our support fits around their life rather than the other way round. We take time to listen, and we encourage the people we support to have a real say in how things are done here.
Our team works hard to create an environment that feels calm, friendly and welcoming. We know that choosing a care home, whether for yourself or for someone you love, is not a decision anyone takes lightly. We want families to feel confident that their person is in good hands, and we always make time to talk things through openly and honestly.
We are pleased to have received a rating of Good from the Care Quality Commission, which we feel reflects the genuine care and attention our team brings to their work each day. That said, we never stand still. We are always looking at how we can do better and how we can improve the experience for everyone who lives with us.
If you would like to find out more about Oak View or come and have a look around, please do get in touch. We are always happy to welcome visitors and answer any questions you might have.

Questions families ask about Oak View
Answered from the CQC register where we can. 5 of these the home has not told us yet, so ask when you call.
Can Mum or Dad stay here if their dementia gets worse?
No. Oak View is not listed for dementia care on the CQC register. If dementia is likely, choose a home that is, so a second move is not needed later. Source: CQC register
Is there a nurse on site if health needs change?
No. Oak View is a residential care home without on-site nursing. District nurses and GPs visit, but someone who needs daily nursing may have to move to a nursing home. Source: CQC register
Can they try a short stay before deciding?
Yes. Oak View offers respite and short stays, which is a good way to see whether the home is the right fit. Source: CQC register
Will they support end of life care, so there is no move at the hardest time?
Ask the home. End of life care is not listed on the register. Ask the manager whether residents can remain in the home with hospice or district nurse support.
Can she bring her cat or dog?
Ask the home. The home has not told us its pet policy yet. Ask directly; some homes allow small pets in residents' rooms or welcome visiting dogs.
Can a couple stay together?
Ask the home. We do not know whether the home has rooms for couples. Ask about shared or adjoining rooms if this matters.
Will the council help pay, or is it self funded only?
Ask the home. The home has not told us which funding it accepts. Most homes take both council funded and self funded residents; ask about council rates and any top up. Use our funding calculator to check what you might pay.
Do they take younger adults as well as older people?
Yes. Oak View supports younger adults as well as older people. Source: CQC register
Can I visit before deciding, and are there visiting hours?
Ask the home. Every home should welcome a visit. Call to arrange one, ideally at a mealtime or during an activity, and ask about visiting hours for family.
