Gurdev joined us at Oaklands back in February.
English was not Gurdev’s main language, so our staff have worked amazingly to integrate her into everyday life here at Oaklands.
We’re also fortunate enough to have multi-lingual staff, who’ve built excellent rapport with Gurdev over the last few months.
... Gurdev’s story is just one of many examples of the dedicated care and support our team at Oaklands provide.
To read her story, check out our blog here ☺️👉 - https://oaklandsresthome.co.uk/oaklands-g o-above-and-beyon…/
