Honest answers
The questions every family asks
Fees, visiting, what happens when needs change — the things that matter are answered plainly here, not saved for a sales call.
What does care at Oakfield House cost?
Fees start from £1,350 per week for residential care, depending on the level of support needed. That figure includes everything day to day — meals, activities, laundry — with no surprise extras. We publish our fees because families deserve to plan with real numbers.
When can we visit?
Whenever suits you — there are no set visiting hours. Grandchildren, dogs and birthday cakes are all welcome. We just ask you avoid mealtimes for a resident's first fortnight while they settle.
Can couples stay together?
Yes. We have two companion rooms, and where needs differ we build a care plan around each person while keeping them together.
