At Oakland Care Group, we believe that personalising living spaces helps create a sense of belonging.
Both Oakland Court and Oakland Grange offer spacious, well-appointed care home rooms that can be customised to reflect each resident’s personality and preferences.
Planning the Move into a Care Home Room
Before moving day, we recommend:
• Visiting the room
• Photographing the space to plan furniture placement
• Making a list of essential items
• Choosing special personal belongings
• Discussing any specific requirements with our team
“From day one, the staff at Oakland Court helped us make dad’s room so personal to him. They even helped us arrange his photographs just the way he likes them.”
– Daughter of Resident, Oakland Court
Personal Touches That Matter
We encourage residents to bring:
• Favourite photographs and artwork
• Meaningful ornaments
• Comfortable chair or small items of furniture
• Familiar bedding and cushions
• Much-loved books or magazines
Safety and Comfort
Our Properties Manager ensures all rooms are:
• Well-maintained
• Freshly decorated
• Fitted with Nobi fall detection technology (if applicable)
Creating Familiar Routines
We help maintain familiar routines by:
• Arranging furniture similarly to their previous home
• Positioning favourite items within easy reach
• Setting up technology for keeping in touch with family
• Maintaining preferred morning and evening routines
• Incorporating personal preferences into daily care
“Mum’s room at Oakland Grange looks beautiful – just like a boutique hotel room but with all her personal touches. It’s bright, clean and so welcoming.”

Technology to Stay Connected
Each room features:
• Wi-Fi access
• Modern nurse call system
• Free personal telephone
• Television point
Alongside staying connected digitally, families often ask what are the visiting hours and policies at a care home, as regular, meaningful visits play a vital role in helping residents feel settled and supported.
Clear visiting guidelines allow loved ones to spend quality time together while maintaining a calm, safe, and welcoming environment for everyone.
Ongoing Support
Our housekeeping team ensures care home rooms are:
• Cleaned daily
• Well-maintained
• Fresh and hygienic
• Regularly checked for any maintenance needs
We understand that needs may change over time, and we’re always happy to help residents adjust their living spaces accordingly.
Seasonal Changes
We encourage families to:
• Update care home room dressings seasonally
• Bring in appropriate clothing for the weather
• Add festive touches for special occasions
• Refresh photographs and personal items regularly
“The staff are so helpful when we want to make changes to mum’s room. Nothing is too much trouble, and they really understand how important these personal touches are.”
– Family Member, Oakland Grange
