Review of Watlington & District Residential and Nursing Home from L B (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 August 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Making the difficult decision to find a long-term care home for our dad, who has frontal temporal lobe dementia, was heartbreaking. Looking back, we know it was the right decision.
Dad settled quickly and is happier than he has been in years. He enjoys the activities and has formed wonderful relationships with the caring team.
Led by the amazing manager, Julie, every member of staff goes above and beyond to ensure Dad is comfortable, happy, stimulated and treated with dignity and respect. Their kindness shines through every day.
Many people see a care home as a negative, but for our family it has been life-changing. The team at Watlington District Care Home has helped us rebuild our relationship with our dad because we can now focus on enjoying precious time together.

We are so grateful for everything you do. We always leave knowing Dad is safe, happy and being cared for by the very best. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Review of Watlington & District Residential and Nursing Home from V K (Regular Volunteer) published on 4 August 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

For the last three years, I have done a weekly COFE Communication service at Sanctuary Care Home in Watlington. We even had a Bishop of Dorchester visit us in March to confirm a 93-year-old resident. The staff are always friendly, caring and competent. I never have any hesitation in recommending Sanctuary to our local community. I am always impressed with their level of competence and compassion.

Review of Watlington & District Residential and Nursing Home from Jack S (Brother of Resident) published on 28 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I am in regular contact with my sister by phone, being that I live a couple of hours away. But my infrequent visits in no way diminish my envy of where she is now resident. My original first impressions are constantly recalled in the monthly newsletters that are packed with activities and information.

Now well settled in to a new way of living, I could not be more pleased and reassured. She chose very well.

Review of Wantage Residential and Nursing Home from M F (Wife of Resident) published on 16 July 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter and I had to hurriedly find a care home for my husband as his dementia was sharply in decline; also, as a laryngectomee, he needed nursing care 24/7.

We were so blessed to find the Sanctuary in Wantage, and were fortunate that they could take him immediately. The carers and nursing staff were so caring and compassionate, they treated those in their care with respect for the dignity of the patient, always having a smile and a cheerful word. The day and night staff were both exemplary.

The front of house staff were so considerate and friendly, welcoming us with genuine warmth. Whilst the administrative staff were extremely efficient, and took care of all formalities, paperwork and our concerns.

The carers and nursing staff were very attentive, sensitive and kind. They all treated those in their care with respect for the dignity of the patient, always having a smile and a cheerful word. Both day and night staff were exemplary.

Other areas at the home are equally efficient, e.g., laundry and cleaning.

I thoroughly recommend the Sanctuary to all who need care or end of life care.

Watlington Sanctuary Care has provided outstanding support to my mother-in-law. The staff are amazing, and the activities on offer fill each day. It was a difficult decision putting Mum into care, but it was 100% the right one for her health and wellbeing. We can't thank the care home enough.

Review of Watlington & District Residential and Nursing Home from P P (Friend of Resident) published on 18 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
A few years ago, my elderly godmother was a resident in the Watlington Care Home for the last 2.5 years of her life, and 5 years ago my wife was there for a fortnight. Today, and many times this year, I have also visited friends in this Care Home.

Now, as on all previous occasions, I have been so impressed by the welcome given by the staff and by their cheerful and caring support for the residents. The Care Home is always clean, bright, welcoming and tidy. Although I hope that I may never need to live in a Care Home, I will be very happy to become a resident in this lovely Watlington Care Home it it ever becomes necessary.

Review of Wantage Residential and Nursing Home from Wendy K (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
We contacted Sancturay Care in Wantage to see if they could accomodate my mum for two weeks respite care, this was at very short notice and all staff could not have been more helpful.
Professional courteous, staff at all times, the home felt 'homely' and my mum's care was excellent.

All staff were helpful and happy, if required I would be more than happy for either of my parents to be a resident. Excellent service all round at all time.

Review of Watlington & District Residential and Nursing Home from Jules E (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My experience of my father's care home has been overwhelmingly positive, and a great comfort to our whole family. The staff are truly wonderful. Kind, attentive and genuinely caring, always going above and beyond to ensure residents feel valued and supported. There is a fantastic range of activities on offer, which helps create a lively and engaging environment, and visitors are always made to feel incredibly welcome. One particularly special memory was when the team helped us celebrate my parents' Diamond Wedding Anniversary. They arranged a delicious lunch, complete with a beautiful cake and bubbles. It was made even more meaningful when many members of staff, including the manager, took the time to come in and offer their congratulations. They are also wonderfully welcoming to my young children, who now look forward to visiting-especially if it involves joining Gramps for lunch and maybe playing a game of table tennis! We feel so lucky to have found this home.
