Review from J N (Son of Client) published on 5 August 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The GoodOaks care team in East Dorset have now been looking after my mother for 12 months. They are a very professional outfit and are constantly in touch with me updating her care plan whenever necessary. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for care arrangements for themselves, their relatives or their friends.

Overall Experience
My brother had a stroke over a year ago and GoodOaks have been fantastic. It has allowed him to stay in the comfort of his own home. All the carers are so kind and caring, professional and go above and beyond in their daily work. GoodOaks whole team give one hundred percent from their individual care team to the office and administration.

Thank you so much we are so grateful.

Overall Experience

Generally a very good company but this week the timings in the evening have gone all over the place, I couldn't plan for Mum's evenings because I wasn't made aware of issues. Unfortunately, I tried to make mum's meds more simple getting the NHS to blister the pills so the packs were dated week to week, day to day, easy you would have thought but ended up all over the place as far as distribution was concerned. Not good!

Due to the deterioration in our postal service, we would appreciate receiving our weekly carer rota by email. Sometimes the week is almost finished by the time we get the rota. Otherwise, the service is very good with no complaints.

Overall Experience

My elderly mother, who lives with us has needed extra care since January this year. We are so pleased we found your company. Professional from the first phone call. These delightful carers are reliable, reassuring, knowledgeable and above all truly caring. We can't thank or praise them enough. Friendly welcome visitors to our home. Can thoroughly recommend Good Oaks.

Overall Experience

I have dementia and arthritis and was having problems last year, particularly with my back and knee. I needed support for a little while mainly for day-to-day activities ie: cleaning, preparing food etc. I had a recommendation from a friend about Good Oaks so I contacted them and I am so glad I did - the staff I dealt with were lovely and very helpful and within a short time I had the support I needed which was a tremendous help! I have now recommended them to other residents where I live.

I have found my carers very friendly and caring and they help to make the day start well. I have one neighbour who moans about door banging at 7-7.30 am (she usually moans about everything).

Overall Experience

Simply faultless. I've received nothing but five-star service from all carers and office staff. Care staff visits three times a day and their standards never drop below outstanding. Each career is super professional, attentive, knowledgeable and reassuring at all times. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they all make me feel important and valued. I'm a complex case but they all listen to my very precise care needs and adapt the visit accordingly. Thank you all.

Good Oaks East Dorset look after my mum. She was very reluctant to have the help in the first instance but with lots of patience and perseverance mum is enjoying the carers' visits. They give me great peace of mind that my mum is being looked after so well.
