Overall Experience

I cannot fault any of the care staff for their conscientiousness, professionalism & care for my Godmother. Nothing that I request is ever too much trouble. My Godmother is always clean and dressed in clean clothes. Her bed, room and facilities are well kept.

Yarnton Residential and Nursing Home
from Sara H (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

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.

Wantage Residential and Nursing Home
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.

Absolutely fantastic care home. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. It was a stressful journey finding the right place for my elderly father, however as soon as we walked into Iffley we were made to feel welcome and my mind was put at rest. I can not thank everyone enough for their kindness and they

way they look after my Dad.

Overall Experience

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.

The kindness of staff in their interaction with residents is clear. Residents are treated as individuals and I feel 110% that my mother is in a safe and protected environment. She is happy which is what matters most.

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.

Overall Experience

On my latest visit it was so lovely to see Gran talking animatedly about a concert given by some children who volunteered a performance. Music has always been so important to her and it is fantastic that the care home organises so many musicians to visit. It really brightens her day and she keeps talking

about it for weeks afterwards. The staff are also really good at taking photos of the events so we get to see her actually enjoying them.

Reply from Jacob Hardie, Design and Marketing Assistant at Watlington & District Residential and Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind review. We're so pleased your Gran is enjoying the events organised by the home, It's lovely to hear how much joy these bring her.

Overall Experience

My lovely mother in law has been a dementia resident at Watlington Care Home since August 2022. My father in law has also been a respite resident there for the past few weeks.
My family & I are all so grateful for the superb care that both have been given in their time there.
The staff are simply

quite outstanding, always happy to help. Always smiling & laughing with the residents, making it such a happy place. Nothing is too much trouble.
The facilities, grounds, food & equipment are all of an excellent standard & quality but ultimately it is the staff that makes Watlington such a special place.
Thank you all for all that you do.

My father has been cared for by Sanctuary Care for the last 4 years. I can honestly not fault the care home from the moment you walk in, the sense of "sanctuary" is felt. Clean, welcoming, all staff I have encountered have been fantastic. The caring levels are brilliant. I could say much, much more.
Big

thank you to the Sanctuary Care Team. Would highly recommend.

Watlington & District Residential and Nursing Home
from N H (Stepdaughter of Resident) published on 5 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We joined my Dad for lunch with his wife who is a resident in the dementia unit of the care home. First impressions were positive. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Lunch was tasty (roast chicken with Yorkshire pudding and vegetables , followed by dessert). We were able to eat as a family in

a separate dining room overlooking the garden.
My step Mum's room was small but comfortable with an en-suite toilet and basin. What struck me was the gentle manner with which the staff addressed the residents. Each of the residents had their own photo mounted in a frame by their door outside their room. This helps them to identify their own room but perhaps it also helps care givers to see them as real people who have lived real lives.
There were recent photos displayed of my step mum engaging in activities with the other residents. I have the impression that there is a positive working atmosphere between the staff.

Mum came for respite following a very bad fall. We were told she would not survive. She has, and I believe if she had not gone to sanctuary, she would not be here now.

Lovely atmosphere, staff always chatty & helpful. Plenty of activities, my friend's hair and nails always well kept. Care is always taken so that clothing is well presented and colour co-ordinated. In fact, everywhere is very colourful, this is important. Love to see all the photographs of activities,

I have visited a friend in the Watlington & District Residential and Nursing Home regularly over the last 2 years, and it has always been a total joy.
