“We spent a lovely time chatting with residents, their families and the staff at the home and I must say what a fantastic facility this is for our elderly community in Haywards Heath, happy residents, staff and families, well organised and with delicious food too!


“What really struck me as soon as we stepped through the door, was the incredible warmth and friendliness of everyone at Oakwood Court.
"Families and residents told us they were so happy there and the staff we met showed great care and professionalism. It was very clear how much they enjoy working there and they really do care about their residents.
