We’re very proud of how, every day, we help transform lives
“I would very much like to compliment the Manager and staff at the Supported Living accommodation that my sister moved into this year (May 2025). They have made her transition so much better than it could have been by being caring, nurturing, understanding – and fun. She seems really happy which is such a relief for me. A massive well done and thank you to Lisa and her staff.” Susan – commenting on the care Oaklea gave to her sister when she moved to Spennymoor, County Durham
