About Us

We at The Oaklea Trust (South Lakes & Furness) are proud to provide compassionate home care across Kendal and the wider South Lakes and Furness area, supporting people to live well and independently in the place they know best: their own home.

Based in the heart of Kendal, within the beautiful county of Westmorland and Furness, our team reaches families throughout the LA postcode area and the surrounding North West communities. Rather than asking people to adjust to an unfamiliar environment, we come to you, bringing thoughtful, personalised support into the familiar comfort of your own front room, kitchen and garden. For many families across the South Lakes, this continuity of place is a precious part of feeling settled, safe and truly at home.

Our care is built around the individual, and we support a wide range of people with differing needs and life experiences. We work with older people who value a little extra help to keep their routines going, and we provide specialist dementia care where consistency, patience and gentle understanding make all the difference to daily life. We also support younger adults, people living with learning disabilities or autism, individuals managing mental health conditions, those with physical disabilities, and people with visual or hearing impairments. In practice, this breadth means we take time to understand the whole person, their history, their preferences and their goals, and shape our support accordingly, whether that is help with personal care, medication, meal preparation, companionship, community access or building confidence with everyday tasks.

For families, this approach offers real reassurance. You can be confident that your loved one is receiving care that respects their dignity, honours their independence and adapts as their needs change over time. We understand that inviting a care team into a family home is a significant step, and we work hard to build trusting, respectful relationships from the very first visit.

The Oaklea Trust (South Lakes & Furness) is rated Good by the Care Quality Commission across every area assessed at our latest inspection in August 2022, including Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well led. This consistent rating reflects a team that is not only kind and capable, but also thoughtfully organised and genuinely responsive to the people it supports. For families considering care, it offers an independent, trusted marker of quality and peace of mind.

If you are exploring home care options for yourself or someone you love in Kendal or the wider South Lakes and Furness region, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please get in touch to talk through your situation, ask any questions on your mind, and discover how our team can help your family feel supported, understood and truly at home.
