About Us

Five Oaks is a residential care home in Hadley Wood, looking after older people who need support with daily living rather than nursing care. We offer permanent places and respite stays.

We want this to feel like a house where people live rather than somewhere they have been placed, and that shows up in ordinary things. Getting up when it suits you. Your own belongings around you. Being asked rather than told. Carrying on with what you have always enjoyed for as long as health allows. Those details are what residents actually notice, day after day.

A number of the people here live with dementia. What helps is familiarity above all: the same faces, a routine that holds its shape, surroundings that make sense, and staff who take the time to understand what somebody is trying to express rather than reacting to how it comes out. It is slower, and it works better.

Respite guests join the household properly from the day they arrive. For many people a short stay is their first experience of a care home, and it should be reassuring rather than something to get through.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good.

You are welcome to come and look round, meet the people who live here, and ask whatever you would like to ask.
