Review of Coombe End Court from K S (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 August 2026 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Our experience of Coombe End Court feels like home. it's well run with friendly staff catering for the care of our loved ones. Be it admin, meals, activities or laundry. And not forgetting how spotlessly clean it is.

Thank you.

Review of Meadowcroft from John H (Resident / Service User) published on 25 August 2026 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience

I've enjoyed it here, I'm going to stay to the End. Basically do what I want to do and in the week there is something to do and even Carolyn sometimes puts something on, on a Sunday. I love being taken into Thame town but it only happens 3 or 4 times a year, I would like to do it more often. I find the food is very, very good. I can buy anything else extra that I want. I get on well with everyone

Review of Millbrook Lodge from Cathy H (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 August 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience

Overall, in my opinion, the care is good, and most staff are friendly, approachable and supportive.

I have found that the quality of care is significantly improved when staff consistency is maintained. Staff who regularly care for Mum get to know her better, understand her individual needs and quirks, and are therefore able to provide more consistent and effective care.

Mum is also noticeably calmer when she is cared for by staff who understand her personality and know how to respond to her. This helps to prevent her frustration from escalating and makes a real difference to her overall wellbeing.

Overall Experience

Always a pleasure to visit my father. Staff are always willing to listen & spend time with us. The daily activities are varied & fun, allows him to take part with assistance due to his lack of sight. All rooms are kept very clean & tidy but welcoming when we visit. Being able to join my father for meals & enjoy the fine dining as a family is a privilege.

Review of Spencer Court from Elizabeth S (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 August 2026 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience

Mum has been resident in Spencer Court for just over four months. The care she receives is wonderful; given by such a kind, cheerful, professional, respectful team. Mum looks so much better than she has in years, thanks to the care she receives. I do too! Knowing Mum is safe, happy and well cared for gives me total peace of mind. I cannot find fault with anything at Spencer Court. A huge thank you to the entire team, for looking after my beautiful mum and for making me feel so welcome too.

↩Reply from Helen Dearing, On behalf of the team at Spencer Court

Review of Spencer Court from Charles J (Son of Resident) published on 20 August 2026 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Care is genuine and staff display heartfelt care. The culture at the home is one of genuine care. Unrelenting patience towards the entry/ visits of loved ones carers display genuine care towards Mum (voluntary strokes of her hair + genuine smiles + attention)

This is a culturally endemic approach - excellent management behind it.

↩Reply from Helen Dearing, On behalf of the team at Spencer Court

Thank you so much for such a heartfelt review. It means a great deal to hear that you feel the care your mum receives is genuine and that the kindness, patience and compassion of the team shine through in the little moments, from a reassuring smile to simply taking the time to be with her.

Review of Athelstan House from Z C (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 August 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience

Mum is very settled at Athelstan House. The care she receives is excellent and she has made good friends. The activities are extensive and the carers take time to get to know what Mum enjoys doing. When I visit I am always met with smiles and positivity from the staff. As I live quite a distance away I feel reassured that Mum is safe, cared for and enjoying her days. Communication from Mum's carers is good and there is always someone available to talk to if I have any worries or questions.

↩Reply from Harry Marsh, On behalf of the team at Athelstan House

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear that your mum is settled at Athelstan House, has made good friends and is enjoying the wide range of activities on offer.

Review of Whitefriars from D W (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 August 2026 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience

I would drop in unanounced on several occassions before Mum moved in always found welcoming, helpful, friendly staff. The atmosphere was always relaxed and homey. They assisted in an 'above and beyond manner' To help me place Mum with them and have been open and honest and communication excellent every step of the way I brought Mum home from Spain due to dementia and have felt supported every step off the way. Mum has settled well - it's a big extended family

Review of Farnham Common House from Kelly D (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 August 2026 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Farnham Common House or Orders of St John Care Trust! Has improved massively since the new management team have been in place.
I feel like our concerns are being listened to. Their only priority is the resident and it hasn't always been this way in the past.

The carers that look after my mum are amazing. The cleaners also do a fantastic job.

Thank you so much for your honest and thoughtful feedback. We're really pleased to hear that you've noticed such positive changes at Farnham Common House and, most importantly, that you feel listened to and that your mum's needs are at the heart of everything we do.

Review of Meadowcroft from Beryl S (Resident / Service User) published on 18 August 2026 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience

My room is quite comfortable and the staff, you never know quite who you are getting. Quite a lot are Indian. Some are nicer than others. The food is usually quite good. I'd quite like to go home sometimes to see what's happening at home as my daughter is living there now. I like having visitors, but they are often busy working. I like having my own pictures on the wall. Caroline the carer is fun.

Review of Meadowcroft from J K (Resident / Service User) published on 18 August 2026 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience

I arrived at begining of April and was very pleasantly surprised and when I met the staff I was even more impressed by the staff. The staff are really amazing. I came from another home so I have a comparison. The managers do a good job. The only problem is if I go to my daughters for dinner (she lives round the corner) I can't get back in. It takes too long to get in. Thats my only problem.

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. We're really pleased to hear how pleasantly surprised you were when you arrived and that the team have made such a positive impression.

Review of Goodson Lodge Care Centre from Mandy E (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 August 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience

My mum moved into Goodson Lodge from a different care home and the change in her has been amazing. She is so happy and all the staff make sure she is well looked after and cared for, she now joins in with activities and even goes to the dining room. The staff also makes sure that I am ok. And there is always someone you can talk to or just make a cuppa. It is reassuring that when we leave her she is in a safe, happy & cared environment which helps us as a family. So grateful for everyone at Goodson Lodge your all fabulous.
