Meet The Manager
Pete Watt is Home Manager at Oaken Holt Nursing and Residential Home.
“Oaken Holt is a wonderful home-from-home with a fascinating history and a wide range of activities and facilities. There is an energetic and compassionate team working with me to deliver the highest standards of care.
We are really fortunate to have such extensive and beautiful grounds, and it is well-documented what a positive impact being outdoors can have on everyone’s mental wellbeing, so I will be working with my colleagues and our residents to make sure we are making the most of those opportunities.
Every person in our community has a story to tell and our role is to help those stories be told, shared, and understood. We put the individual at the heart of everything we do, celebrating their stories, and helping them write new chapters.”
