GoodOaks Homecare is a homecare provider that offers high-quality visiting and live-in care to individuals in their own homes. Their aim being to keep their clients living independently and comfortably at home for as long as possible.
The business is split across two areas of homecare, visiting and live-in care. Visiting care professionals can help with anything from a 30 minute daily visit to help with meal prep, to supporting individuals with complex conditions and needs.
Live-in care is designed around the client and means the care professional will stay with them in their own home. They will help to run their household, provide personal care, companionship and much more.
Each care plan is carefully tailored to the individual, encompassing their needs, likes and preferences. Care plans are regularly reviewed, adapted and monitored to evolve with their clients' needs.
GoodOaks have always understood that the only way to provide quality care to clients is to work with quality care professionals and to support them to do the best job they can.
Their care professionals are carefully selected and trained to give the highest level of care and support. This means that with GoodOaks, the care professional walking through the client's front door is properly trained, supported and valued. They can adapt to routines and provide the bespoke care that has been shaped together with their client and families.

Thank You for your kind words and taking the time to write a review for us - we really appreciate it and I will pass this onto our carers.
I have used Good Oaks in Bournemouth for over 3 and a half years for firstly my Mum and then my Dad. Their carers were always kind and respectful towards both myself and my parents. Any issues we're dealt with properly and in a timely manner. The last carer I had for my Dad was with him more than...
Managers always listened to my points of view and were a good support to myself and my parents carers.
Hi Jacqui,Thank you so much for reaching out and doing this review for us. I will pass this onto the carer too! I only knew your Dad but it was a pleasure to care for him and your Mum before my time. I will always remember his smile and dancing with the lady at the Client Event! Keep Smiling Jacqui and sending all our best wishes to you and your family.
Excellent service. First time we have had carers for my mother. Very sympathetic company. Understood our needs and had a very good timetable to fit in with our lives. My partner and I live with Mum. We would recommend GoodOaks to anyone.

Right from the start I felt a wonderful, personal, caring and understanding approach. As my father's needs changed rapidly from what we initially had booked to commence with you, you were quick to ensure we had the necessary care provision in place.
We straightaway formed a wonderful relationship with the young carer who was appointed to us and she became one of the family in the short period she was with us.
Cannot fault a single thing about Goodoaks. We are forever thankful for them being there for us at a time when we really needed them.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly touched by your feedback and so pleased to hear that you felt supported and cared for throughout your journey with us.Ensuring that families receive the right care, especially when needs change quickly, is at the heart of what we do. It means so much to know that our team was able to provide not only the care your father needed but also the reassurance and compassion your family deserved.We will be sure to pass on your lovely comments to the live-in carer who supported you-it will mean the world to her to know she made such a positive impact.Wishing you and your family all the very best, and please do reach out if we can ever be of support again.
All the carers come at the time expected. They are invariably pleasant and efficient and I think my husband welcomes them. I certainly could not manage without their help. Financially it is quite a commitment but I prefer to have home care. The carers say they are here to help me as well as my...
All the carers come at the time expected. They are invariably pleasant and efficient and I think my husband welcomes them. I certainly could not manage without their help. Financially it is quite a commitment but I prefer to have home care. The carers say they are here to help me as well as my husband. The carers very quickly learned where to find whatever they needed and I don't need to get involved.
Thank you for your kind words. I will pass this on to the care professionals who cared for him. I'm glad we were there to support him and yourself.
Thank you for caring for my parents so well. For being supportive during the transition to my parents having live-in carers which at times was challenging. Having your carers looking after my parents gave me peace of mind that they were receiving safe, dignified care and has taken some of the...
Your manager and admin team have also been very supportive and stepped in when required. Overall you provide a reliable, professional service and your team has shown kindness and support to my parents, and myself.
Thank you so much for your kind words and I will pass this on to the manager and the team. It means so much to us when someone reaches out to say what an impact we have made. We wish you and your parents all the best.

They started their care for Mum, just before the outbreak of Covid 19.
During that time, the carers did a excellent job in extremely difficult circumstances, even taking over the weekly shopping duties, when lockdown was imposed on us.
Overall the Good Oaks team have been reliable and provided a professional service to my mum on a daily basis. The team brought kindness and some laughs along the way to help brighten up Mum's life.
A special mention to the staff, who always went that extra mile and is an absolute credit to her profession.
Thank you to the manager and the team at Good Oaks for the last 4 and half years of service to my mum.
The service provided really did make a difference to both myself and Mum's life. Thank you once again.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us this beautiful review. We know it's a very difficult time at the moment, but I will ensure that this is passed on to all the carers that looked after your Mum. She will be truly missed and best wishes to you. Take care

The care and support provided by GoodOaks Homecare - Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch allowed my father to live independently in his own home, as he wanted, for longer than we thought possible. The carers and office staff were always helpful and friendly. Many thanks.

My lovely mum reached 100 years old and was visited by the manager of her group of lovely carers who bought her a lovely present of flowers and a card - a lovely gesture.

Excellent, friendly and efficient service. In taking me on as a new client, explaining how things work and making me feel very reassured. All staff that I have met have been friendly and competent with good timekeeping. I especially appreciate the rota for the following week.

I have found the carers who have dealt with me to be very professional, friendly and, most importantly, trustworthy. I have always been treated with dignity, which is of paramount importance to me as I am paralysed from the waist down. My main carer is excellent, as are the two regular carers. Any issues that have arisen over time have been dealt with satisfactorily by your office. I have been with your company for the past five years and am happy to continue.
Thank you for your review. We always recruit our care professionals based on a fit with our Values of Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Dedication and Empathy, as well as the 'Mum Test' - would we be happy for this person to look after our loved one? I am glad your carers are doing such a great job, we'll be sure to pass on your feedback!
Very satisfied with the service. All the carers are most capable and sensitive to my needs.

I have been working in social care for 33 years, in my role I support the team both for live-in and visiting services. I also need to ensure that our team is meeting the standards of CQC that we are delivering the best care and that all care needs are met on a day-to-day base.
Prior to working with GoodOaks, I was overseeing supported living services in Sherborne for adults with complex behaviour and I also set up a community support service for adults with Asperger's Syndrome in my previous role.
