Mum was in for respite for 2 weeks. The place was clean, warm and welcoming, mum didn't use the facilities although encouraged by staff. But the activities seemed good and varied. We feel mum would have enjoyed her stay if she had joined in and requested help.

Having been chosen at a POA for a very dear friend of 60 years! I chose most carefully choosing the appropriate Residential and Nursing Home for her future care! Therefore I can honestly express my true account of the nursing care, cleanliness, food, drink, safety etc - in one word Excellent" It warms
my heart seeing her so happy with so many caring staff and new friends. Despite having to give her beautiful home up, she accepts this is a new chapter for her latter years.

My 97 year old father was recently become a resident at Oxbow Manor, from what I have witnessed. Nothing is too much trouble for the nurses, or carers. I think it is a lovely home, well looked after. It is a pleasure to visit. I cannot find fault with anything.

It was necessary to spend some time in Oxbow Manor recovering from surgery, unfortunately, because I had no one at home to support me. This has proved to be a most rewarding decision. I almost hesitate to say enjoyable, considering my initial difficulties & problems, but it has proved to be enjoyable.
The security of staff visits during the night whilst initially suffering pain & considerable discomfort. The positive response to any problem, whatever the hour. I quickly came to think of the staff as friends, not carers. I had a choice of nursing homes upon leaving hospital. I am so pleased that I chose this one. And then there is the food and cakes - magic!

After viewing about 4 other care homes, we quickly found Oxbow Manor was by far the nicest with a good 'feel' to it completed with the managers friendly and professional manner. She explained everything clearly and whilst the costs are high - compared to others there is not much in it though my step
is happy and enjoys the food as well.

Within days of coming at Oxbow Manor, my mother was visibly happier and bright. After two weeks, she referred to Oxbow as her home. She is eating very well and we can tell she knows she is safe and looked after by people who genuinely care. Amazingly clean establishment. All the staff are warm and friendly
and guests and residents alike. We are so glad we chose Oxbow Manor.

Generally satisfied, apart from the cost and the catering.
How some £7900 justified for residential facility can be justified. I do not understand unless capital cost is being reserved ober a short period.
Hotel prices would be half or less, with better catering. Access to medical care, i.e. GP, doctor

My first three weeks were undoubtedly the most difficult time having to accept that my home, my car, many of my belongings and all my very many friends were no longer a part of my life. Even my family were no longer readily available as previously. However, as I begin to accept my new situation, I found
the Oxbow Manor exceeded my expectations and my new life was now being accepted.

We recently celebrated our diamond wedding anniversary and I arranged unbeknown to the staff a cake, champagne and nibbles. We had a party of 10 people. When we arrived, we found the cinema/bar decorated with an assortment of decorations from the ceiling, the words "Happy Anniversary" on the TV, a cluster
of balloons on the bar and a fantastic cake. All our visitors were full of praise for the staff and everything.

My father has stayed for 2 week period. The facilities are tidy and clean and gave my father a good routine and settled very well. The staff were very friendly, caring and able to offer myself as a care lead, quality advice and support. Which I have been able to use, especially when dealing with social
care. Without this support it would have been more difficult. If we need to use a residential home for rest bite or full future residential care in the future, this would be place we would like to take him again.

We moved mum to be closer to the family. After much research, it seemed that Oxbow Manor was the obvious choice, and we have not been disappointed.
The first thing you feel is friendship and belonging from the get-go, and all the staff make you feel welcome. Within a day everyone seemed to know her
The first thing you feel is friendship and belonging from the get-go, and all the staff make you feel welcome. Within a day everyone seemed to know her
and greeted her everywhere she went, and that level of dedication to care is evident in everything they do.
As a family, we are greeted and they engage with us and keep us informed. Nothing is ever too much trouble.
The facilities and atmosphere are impressive too. Go to the library, garden or cinema/music room or kick back in the cafe or a TV lounge. Mum loves the hot chocolate.
Having a loved one with advanced dementia can be tough but it is so comforting knowing whether we are there or not she is in safe and genuinely caring hands.

Two weeks respite care at Oxbow Manor after breaking my leg was an enormous help and definitely an aid for my recovery. The friendly staff and bright, attractive rooms made my visit truly enjoyable! Nothing was too much trouble and I would like to give special thanks to the maintenance man for his skill

Due to a sudden illness, I admitted my husband into Oxbow Manor for nursing care and respite. It was a difficult decision, and I felt so guilty that I wasn't able to care for him myself. However, I had to put my feelings aside and consider what was best for him. I am so glad I made the decision. The
care, the support and the staff were amazing, and I am convinced his journey on the road to recovery was made possible by the excellent treatment he received. I would not hesitate in recommending Oxbow Manor to anyone who find themselves in the same position I found myself in.

Oxbow Manor is a wonderful home. The staff care not only for the residents but the relatives too. Everyone is treated with dignity and compassion.
