Review of
Yarnton Residential and Nursing Home
from P W (Friend of Resident) published on 20 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

I joined a resident for Christmas lunch and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The meal was fine (could've been a little warmer) and quite filling, well cooked. The dining room was spacious, clean, well lit with splendid views of the garden. The staff were polite, attentive, welcoming and efficient.

They were helpful in getting my partner and I coffee tea biscuits after joining our friend in her room. They also helped us to bring in 2 guinea pigs which my partner owns, to the delight of our friend and several other residents who loved stroking and petting (I know you have therapy animal brought in to engage with residents) them!

Reply from Kate Czeczko, Business Development Manager at Yarnton Residential and Nursing HomeThank you for your lovely feedback. We're pleased you enjoyed the Christmas lunch, the dining environment, and the warm, attentive care from our team. Your comments about the food temperature will be shared with our catering staff. We're also delighted that the guinea pigs brought so much joy to your friend and other residents - moments like this truly mean a lot to us. We hope to welcome you again soon.

Overall Experience

As has always been the case during the four years my wife has been a resident here. I am impressed by the exceptionally high standard maintained by the staff. My wife's needs are met in a professional yet intensely caring manner. The standards of her care are quite outstanding. The staff are friendly,

helpful and always welcoming. The home itself compares with a Boutique Hotel. Excellent.

Overall Experience

Dad's been at Wantage nursing home since 2021, the care has always been excellent, the staff show genuine compassion and respect for the residents and we never dread going to visit as it's such a happy environment with lots of engaging activities going on. The team even set up a private room for us

this weekend to celebrate Dad's 80th, with a birthday banner and a little buffet, a completely lovely surprise! We couldn't be happier with the care Dad receives here, the team are a credit to the industry.

Reply from Kate Czeczko, Business Development Manager at Wantage Residential and Nursing HomeThank you for sharing such wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear that your dad has received excellent care and that the team could make his 80th birthday so special. Your kind words mean a lot to everyone at Wantage, and we're proud to create a happy and welcoming environment for our residents and their families.

Review of
Yarnton Residential and Nursing Home
from Gamal Y (Son of Resident) published on 16 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother, who suffers from dementia, is resident at Yarnton. The people make the place and this is certainly the case here. Over the many past months we've seen that, without exception, the team at Yarnton have displayed a huge degree of care and empathy (dare I say love, even?) for my mother. This

attitude creates a safe, protective and cheerful atmosphere for her to live in. While she can't be cured, of course, she is at least stress-free and content despite it, which was sadly not the case when she lived with me and my wife. Dementia is 'second childhood' i.e. the victim's mind reverts to a childlike state. Well, she can't lie and it's clear from what she says and how she behaves around the staff that my mother is very content and settled. Full credit for this to the entire nursing and management team. Her improvement has been so good that she's been able to come off ALL of the calming medications that were previously necessary! Thank you so much. Please keep up the great work.

Reply from Kate Czeczko, Business Development Manager at Yarnton Residential and Nursing HomeThank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt review. We're delighted to hear that your mother feels safe, content, and cared for at Yarnton. It means the world to our team to know their dedication is making such a positive difference. We'll continue to do everything we can to provide the best possible environment for her and all our residents.

Watlington & District Residential and Nursing Home
from Keith M (Husband of Resident) published on 8 December 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

When I made the very hard decision to place my lovely wife into a nursing home because I could no longer cope with her Alzheimer's, I took great care to ensure that she would be happy and well looked after. I wanted somewhere:- 1)The staff were very caring, friendly and happy in their work. The majority

of staff have worked in this home for many years, which indicates that it is well run from the top down. 2) The building was clean, light and airy and well well-furnished and surrounded by beautiful countryside. Upon looking out of the windows, one can see beautiful tended gardens, open fields and hills. Good entertainment is provided and good well-presented, wholesome food. I definitely made the right choice.

Reply from Kate Czeczko, Business Development Manager at Watlington & District Residential and Nursing HomeThank you for sharing your experience and for trusting us with your wife's care. We're so pleased to hear that you feel confident in your choice and that the environment and team have met your expectations. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we'll continue to do everything we can to ensure she feels happy and supported.

My mother was treated with care, respect, understanding and patience. Not an element of her care gave me any concerns, and I was forever impressed with the staff's cheery dispositions. When her time came the whole thing was handled with care and tact. Quality compassionate care over her stay.

Overall Experience

My mother arrived at Sanctuary after being discharged from hospital following an illness. She was underweight and had lost her mojo! Within a very short space of time, she was back to herself because of the care, patience and fantastic food provided by everyone at Wantage. I cannot thank everyone enough

for bringing my mum back to me.

Reply from Kate Czeczko, Business Development Manager at Wantage Residential and Nursing HomeThank you so much for your kind words. We're absolutely delighted to hear that your mother felt so well cared for and supported during her time at Sanctuary in Wantage. It means the world to us to know that she regained her strength and spirit with the help of our dedicated team and nourishing meals. Your gratitude is deeply appreciated, and we'll be sure to pass it on to everyone involved in her care. Wishing you and your mum continued health and happiness!

Watlington & District Residential and Nursing Home
from Anna B (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We tried to keep my 96 year old mother at home as long as we could but had to make the tough decision to put her in a Nursing/Care home last September 2024. This turned out to be the best decision we could have made given the excellent care she received in her last year of life. She had Alzheimer's

and a debilitating neurological disease and they made her welcome, looked after her superbly and made her last year memorable and gave her dignity and warmth. My family and I owe the nurses and staff of the Watlington & District Nursing home an enormous debt of gratitude. She could not have been looked after better.

Reply from Kate Czeczko, Business Development Manager at Watlington & District Residential and Nursing HomeThank you so much for sharing your heartfelt experience. We're truly honoured to have been part of your mother's journey and are deeply grateful for your kind words. It means a great deal to our team to know that we were able to provide her with comfort, dignity, and care during her final year. Your message is a touching reminder of why we do what we do.
With sincere gratitude. The Watlington & District Nursing Home Team

Overall Experience

My mother was a resident for just over two years. In that time the staff were without exception amazing. They were patient, loving & professional & made a huge difference to my mothers life. The home was always so spotlessly clean & ran very efficiently. There was always plenty going on in terms of

activities & I simply couldn't fault it. I would highly recommend Yarnton Residential & I will miss everyone & thank them fro all that they did for us.

Reply from Jacob Hardie, Design and Marketing Assistant at Yarnton Residential and Nursing HomeThank you so much for your kind words.

from Clive C (Husband of Resident) published on 15 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My wife has now entered her fourth year of residence, and I continue to visit her almost every day. Two years have passed since my first review and I now record my continuing admiration of, and gratitude to, the staff providing her with the appropriate care and attention far beyond what I could do

myself. It is no longer possible to tell how aware my wife is of her surroundings, but every day she is hoisted into her wheelchair to spend the day in the company of other people. Her room is always immaculate, her food is individually prepared, and any health changes are promptly discussed with me. Many of the staff clearly love their jobs, and their frequent laughter provides the home with a happy ambience.

Reply from Jacob Hardie, Design and Marketing Assistant at Wantage Residential and Nursing HomeThank you for your thoughtful review and continued trust over the past four years. We're truly grateful for your kind words and pleased to know our team's care, attention, and cheerful atmosphere bring comfort to both you and your wife. It's a privilege to support her, and we're always here for you.

Absolutely fantastic care home. Everyone is so friendly and helpful.

All members of the Watlington Nursing Home clearly care passionately about what they do.There is a genuine interest in the welfare of all residents. Great efforts are made to provide a variety of activities to care for all, whether its a trip out, quiz night, singalong, arts and crafts or gardening.

from I S (Son of Resident) published on 16 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident for several months and the standard of care is outstanding. From the beginning all of the staff irrespective of their role have been very supportive, kind and helpful. The nursing staff are very diligent in ensuring that all the nursing needs are addressed either themselves

or by working closely with external agencies. Care staff are kind and empathetic despite having to meet challenging needs. All of the support staff are very friendly and helpful. A real effort is made by the management and all of the staff to create a welcoming culture and friendly environment while ensuring an excellent standard of care is provided. The lovely setting and quality of the facilities contribute to the very high standard, but it is all the staff that play the most important role in enabling the standard of care to be of such high quality.

Reply from Jacob Hardie, Design and Marketing Assistant at Watlington & District Residential and Nursing HomeThank you for your thoughtful and generous feedback. We're so pleased to hear that your mother is receiving the high standard of care we strive to provide. It means a great deal to know that our entire team-from nursing and care staff to support and management-has made a positive impact. Your kind words truly reflect the values we work hard to uphold every day.
