Oaklands Care Home in Cambridge

Oaklands is a new addition to our Hilton Park Care Centre community, which consists of three homes, Hilton Park, Eden View and Oaklands. Opened in October 2008 Oaklands is a purpose-built facility for people living with dementia and young people with physical challenges. The home is set in beautiful ground on the outskirts of Bottisham Village, where we are an integral part of a wider community.

Oaklands Care Home has well-maintained and secure internal gardens so that people can enjoy the outdoors in safety. The home has hairdressing facilities, a café -style reception area, restaurant-style dining and lovely, relaxing communal areas.

Oaklands offers a real community feel. We have three units within the home. Two are dedicated Memory Lane Communities for people living with dementia. The remaining unit is for younger people with disabilities. We have given all units street names to create a village feel: each bedroom door even has its own letter box and door knocker.

Our experienced and highly qualified team delivers high quality care, giving people quality support that is in a league of its own, ensuring individuals remain in control of their lives. Working within the philosophy of person-centred care, the care team supports each individual in making their own decisions and choices regarding daily life and social activity.

We welcome visitors and enquiries, so please feel free to drop in to see us or to call.

Cecilia Thomson

General Manager

Hi, my name is Cecilia and I am the General Manager here at Oaklands. Welcome to our website!

Originally from Sweden, I am a registered nurse with extensive managerial experience in residential and dementia elderly care.

I have worked in health care management for over 15 years and, from 2013 to 2019, I was based in the Middle East, where I spent time commissioning a rehabilitation hospital.

Daily, I strive to make a positive difference to the lives of others and provide outstanding care.

The team and myself look forward to welcoming you at Oaklands very soon, hopefully.
