The Oaks new Care Manager Desme Daniels relishes in the daily transformations that take place across The Oaks Care Suites, “Witnessing people make new friends and participate in group activities - sometimes after living alone for sometime - it's wonderful to see.”

Oceania has always been about creating homes for people, not just bricks and mortar. As Desme explains, “Great care looks like home and family. Coming to The Oaks you get to be surrounded by staff who quickly become your friends, and whilst the clinical care is excellent, because we don’t look like a hospital or feel like a hospital or clinic, you sometimes don’t even realise how well cared for you are.”

To learn more about our Care Suites, chat to Desme on 0800 333 688.

I didn't know what was wrong with me
Right from a young child I have always loved food; I loved gatherings because of the food. As I got older I would steal food and money to buy food. My life was all about food and if I wasn’t eating, I was thinking about eating and food.

I was very athletic at school and not terribly worried about my weight at that time. It was when I went into high school and the “beach girls” came to our high school that I started looking at the differences. They were brown, thin and seemed to be very popular with the boys. I watched them and what they ate. I started eating what they were eating at school, but would eat as much as possible at home.

I tried to fit in, but wasn’t able to make friends easily. I was obsessed about my weight and food by now and it drove me to exercise and diets. I went on my first diet when I was sixteen years old, I took herbal diet tablets, exercised like a person obsessed and I drank alcohol, smoked cigarettes and drank black coffee to control my weight. I lost five stone and got a lot of compliments about how I looked, but that didn’t stop the self-loathing and madness in my head. It didn’t matter how much weight I lost or how thin I was, I was obsessed about my body, how fat I was and how thin I wanted to be. My self-obsession and food controlled my life, and it was to get much worse as I got older.
