GoodOaks Homecare (New Forest) is both a Domiciliary Care and Complex Care provider who offer high-quality care and support to individuals in their own homes.

With Domiciliary Care, a range of services are offered to help you to remain independent, keeping you safe and comfortable in your own home by providing quality visiting homecare and live-in care. Assistance is provided with day to day tasks to help you remain living independently at home. Due to the rigorous training programme and wide network of care professionals, everything from regular homecare support to more specialist support such as dementia care, stroke care or palliative care are offered.

With Complex Care, a special kind of healthcare and support are offered to people who have chronic or long-term health problems and need extra assistance with their symptoms and daily tasks. It involves a nurse-led care and multi-disciplinary approach that focuses on the individual’s needs, goals, and preferences. It requires a higher level of medical intervention, and complex medical treatments like administering medication or managing specific health conditions. This is a more specialised healthcare task and support for individuals with complex medical needs.

With GoodOaks, clients are able to stay in familiar surroundings that they have spent their lives shaping. The award-winning training and expertise enables care professionals and office teams to care for a range of conditions with skill, empathy and warmth.

During an emergency need of night care for our mother after moving her from her house to her sister's home and then on to another sister, Good Oaks was contacted. Our appointment with the care coordinator was immediate, and care was arranged for nighttime backup to aid myself and my sister.
She arranged
to pull in team members - I can only say wow! The most amazing carers, sweet, genuine, kind and compassionate - a big difference to the previous care in the Southampton area. My sister and I would not hesitate to recommend the team. Exceptional - all going above and beyond - One carer even arrived 30 minutes early - unpaid - to get to know us and left 30 mins late - unpaid to say her goodbyes and discuss the night's events.
Simply amazing - thank you, each of you - you all have a place in our hearts.

My brother's care with GoodOaks has been exceptional and professional. The staff were assessed and all his needs were very adequately met. Due to his health declining he required additional care. I would not hesitate to recommend this professional team.

Mum has been benefiting from having live-in carers from GoodOaks Homecare for about eight months now. Without exception all of her carers have been kind and caring, coping with Mum's multiple problems with patience and understanding. After initially being adamant that she would never have someone living
in, Mum's growing anxiety, caused by the prospect of being unable to continue to live in her own home, has now been alleviated and she is generally much more relaxed and happy.

At very short notice excellent live-in care was provided to my mother. The carer really went above and beyond and my mom absolutely loved her.
She then moved to daily visits and again found all the carers to be friendly, professional and caring. A misunderstanding regarding the terms of the contract
was quickly and professionally resolved, as always with the elderly it is important to confirm they understand what they are asking for.

Staff keep smiling and get me moving every day, miss them at weekends and find their journey times difficult to justify.
Surprised to find staff left to make own Covid and flu arrangements. I, and I'm sure many of your clients, are classed as vulnerable.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the start of my father's care with Good Oaks, we have received exceptional service from them.
Initially, he received care visits following discharge from the hospital. He was assessed by the care coordinator who took into consideration all of his needs and ensured that these were met by the carers.
Following a decline in his health, he required additional care at very short notice. Again, this was dealt with in a caring and professional manner.
I was overseas for a couple of months and the communication from the care coordinator was exemplary during this time.
We moved to 24-hour live-in care which has been fantastic and has clearly helped in his recovery from an infection. This was arranged over Easter weekend at very short notice once again.
The live-in carers go above and beyond to help, working closely with physio and occupational therapists. They sit with my father doing exercises with him every day!
Again, I cannot rate Good Oaks carers highly enough, they are natural, happy, fun and professional.

GoodOaks Homecare have been providing home care for my 98 year old mother who was widowed 7 months ago. The care provided has been extremely good and much appreciated by her family members neither of whom live in the same area. GoodOaks carers provide meals, administering medication etc 7 days per
week, twice a day and had to fill in over the Christmas period when we were unable to visit and care for mum due to ill health (a virus). We would have no hesitation in recommending GoodOaks to any prospective customers.

Living a great distance from Dad and unable to visit very often, I have to trust that a care agency will fulfill our requirements. Good Oaks is reliable, caring and adheres to the regulations. Communication is good and easy and problems or actions required are notified to us promptly. Dad is well cared
for and likes the carers. The care app is useful to see the carer's visit reports and to get more of a feel for what is happening with Dad. Due to dementia, he is unable to tell us how things are himself.

Review from Laura P (Granddaughter of Client) published on 23 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our experience with the team at Good Oaks while caring for our elderly relative, on the whole, has been very positive. I can hand on heart say they are very friendly and trustworthy and although I sometimes got frustrated that not everyone did things the way that I would have, they still had his best
interests at heart. Throughout the time with Good Oaks, the needs changed and they were very good at discussing and auctioning it. Before Covid, the three-monthly review meetings were a good way to focus and refresh the care package and get any concerns out in the open. Like anyone in this position, it would have been impossible without a strong team like Good Oaks and I would suggest anyone get a system like this in place as early as possible, it will really go along way to helping the individual requiring care in the future.

Her individuality and dignity was beautifully managed with thoughtful and relaxed assistance provided. The office staff were easily available and responded

Review from Clare B (Daughter of Client) published on 1 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father's condition had been deteriorating rapidly over the past couple of years and care has been extended at each key stage-gate. We started with Good Oaks having an hour or two per day and when the time came for arranging the live-in care, their professionalism and genuine care meant that we turned
to them. It has been an enormous relief to have this in place over the past eight weeks and with our father's lifetime wish of never wanting to be put into a home, even with dementia, we will now work hard to sustain this care into the future. It is not an affordable option for everyone and we won't be able to afford it forever but this 5* service received recently has been so wonderful and has completely changed our relationship with our Dad for the positive. Thank you Good Oaks.

Good Oaks have been caring for our elderly mother for the past few years. She is 92 and quite a difficult character to cope with. Despite this, the staff who come in every day to give her breakfast and get her washed and dressed show continued patience and kindness. They are professional, clean and
cheerful and always do everything they can for our mother. Furthermore: whenever they have any concerns about her health they are always quick to contact us and keep us up to date, they have never let us down, by not turning up - even in these tricky times and every staff member is pleasant and approachable. Thoroughly recommend them.
