Although Oaktree Manor http://www.partnershipsincare.co.uk/facilities/oaktree_manor.html has only been operating since about 2002, they could use the slogan "170 years of residential care" for this is the workhouse which opened about 1836 to serve the thirty or so parishes of the Tendring Poor Law Union.
