At The Oaks care home, in Lexden, Colchester, we are pleased to provide expert, warm, person-centred care for up to 61 older people who require residential or nursing support.

Internally refurbished to a high standard in summer 2017, The Oaks, has a beautifully decorated and homely feel. There’s always a full diary of fun social events and activities, thanks to our dedicated Activities Coordinator, meal times are carefully planned with delicious, freshly, on-site, cooked food, and our fully trained, friendly team of carers and nurses are on hand 24/7, whenever you need them. So much more than just a care home.

Spacious and with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, bedrooms are beautifully decorated, while the family room, breakfast room, cinema room and open-plan dining room offer the perfect place for you to relax or socialise in.

The Oaks has the added benefit of being surrounded by large gardens and well manicured lawns, which were created by award winning gardener, author and lecturer, Beth Chatto.
We can provide a variety of types of care, dependent on your assessed requirements.

The Oaks is part of New Century Care. Our approach to care is a simple one, to provide the highest standard with the best interests of our residents at heart. We provide a safe and homely atmosphere in all our homes and welcome residents on both a permanent or short stay basis.
