We are extremely pleased and proud to share the news that following Caroline's move-in day, all of the people we previously supported who had a single bedroom now have a flat equipped with their own kitchen, bathroom, lounge space and bedroom. This gives them their own space, boosting their independence and life skills whilst also having opportunities to socialise in our communal areas and with other tenants. As part of Oakfield's mission, we strive to "develop individuals to reach their full potential and live as independently as possible", a mission which we feel our refurbished flats have been a major factor in helping us achieve.

Following the final person we support moving into her flat, we have received great feedback from her family stating that they are extremely pleased with the flat and commented on how happy and settled Caroline seems. They mentioned that the flat feels as though it was made for her. After their previous visit, they had been feeling quite worried as Caroline didn’t seem herself, but this time they left feeling reassured and very happy. They feel that moving into her new flat has had a very positive effect on her wellbeing, they also mentioned how it is wonderful to visit and spend quality time with Caroline in a homely environment, rather than only in her bedroom or the communal lounge.

The family were also very complimentary about the ongoing and completed changes at Oakfield and said how positive it is. 

In the New Year, there will be two newly re-furbished flats available, if you would be interested please do get in touch by emailing info@oakfieldcommunity.org.uk. You can find out more on Oakfield housing and tenant information by exploring our website.
