Hartrigg Oaks the very best in retirement living The Oaks The Oaks, situated within The Oaks Centre, is an integral part of the Hartrigg Oaks community and is suitable for people who need higher levels of care than can be provided in their own home. It is registered to provide residential, nursing and dementia care. In providing services, we respect each resident’s right to dignity and choice. We carry out regular person-centred assessments that take into account all aspects of an individual’s life, to ensure that we provide the best possible care and support. The Oaks has 42 spacious bed-sitting rooms, which are all en-suite with level-access showers, and most have a French door leading out onto a balcony or patio. Three of the rooms are reserved for residents who require a short stay, for example following a period of illness, or early discharge from hospital. In addition to having its own dedicated facilities, including lounge, activity area, dining room and rose garden, The Oaks is ideally located for access to the main communal facilities. This means residents who move from their bungalow to The Oaks can still enjoy the same activities and social links. It is also conveniently placed for a partner or neighbours living at Hartrigg Oaks to visit. 6
