I have worked for the Pri-Med group since 1996. soon after joining I became Deputy Matron at the Gables Nursing Home, a job which enabled me to develop my managerial skills as well as my nursing skills.

In March 2001 I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity of becoming the Manager of Oaklands House. The home consists of a small team of enthusiastic staff creating a homely and friendly environment where residents are encouraged to take advantage of the various activities organised for the home.

Welcome to the calm and serenity that is Oaklands House. Set in nearly five acres of attractive grounds in Southwold, the house offers a unique setting for retirement in Suffolk. Established to emulate a hotel, we provide a higher standard of service than other retirement homes. This includes more varied menus, a bar taxi service, etc.

We are situated for easy access to the historic and charming seaside town of Southwold, and a short distance from main routes to Norwich and Ipswich.

A variety of well appointed rooms, including apartment style suites provide a comfortable and relaxing environment. The house has been sympathetically restored to reflect the grandeur of a period property incorporating range of facilities to suit all needs. These include all the things you would expect from a Pri-Med Group home ( click here for residential homes facilities) , and on top of these we have wheelchair access to all levels, attractive terrace overlooking wooded gardens, roof terrace garden, summer house a licensed bar for residents and their visitors as well as hair salon and many others too numerous to mention.
