Care Home Owned by Mariposa in Oxfordshire

feels more like a 5 star retreat than a residential home. The care levels are excellent, the residents are all well matched and there is none of the shouting and aggression from previous dementia care homes. It is a gentle, kind and well thought out place, that runs like clockwork under the guidance of an excellent Home Manager. All make it appear a seamless and effortless experience, but we all appreciate the hard work and organisation that goes into making it appear so. My mother is a kind and gentle soul, and we now feel we have found her a place that matches those qualities. It is an amazing place, with good facilities, and the correct staffing levels and knowledge. 10/10 from us.

were charming too. Old Prebendal has a lovely atmosphere, all the staff are very pleasant and caring and it feels like more like a hotel than a care home.

my mum, she can be difficult.

cared for and happy to be there.

was made to understand not just the medical needs of my parents, but also their personalities, preferences, and routines. What stood out most was how welcoming everyone was - not just to my parents, but to the whole family, including the great-grandchildren. We were all made to feel at home, whether stopping by for a visit or sitting down together for a delicious lunch. A special mention must go to the manager, whose professionalism, experience, and leadership shine through in every aspect of the home and set the tone for the entire team. Having visited many care homes in search of the right one, we are incredibly grateful to have found such a special place for Mum and Dad.

a managed and peaceful death, so hopeless we felt of her condition.
This beautiful, peaceful sanctuary with its excellent team has been a lifeline quite literally for our mum and us. Mum has been transformed physically under the care and compassion of everyone involved in her care. From being completely bed-bound, unable to eat and the indignity of double incontinence she has been slowly, carefully and patiently encouraged to accept the personal care needed to maintain hygiene, health and dignity and to accept with gentle encouragement the physio needed to get her back in her feet. The fantastic food offering has her eating so well she gained half a stone in 4 weeks. Highly recommend.

sensitivity and support.

meals a day. We have even been able to arrange family gatherings at the house for Christmas and Birthday celebrations with a stroll in the surrounding grounds.

were are excellent, nothing was too much trouble, they helped wash me and dress me and told me to ring my bell anytime I needed them. We could have wine with our meals, lunch and tea time, white red or rose.
Great place to stay to get over a very big operation on my right shoulder. I was so much stronger after my stay there. I was able to come home and be looked after by my family.
All the staff were excellent including the handyman.
We also had bingo raffles and a sing-a-long with one of the members of staff so all in all a very pleasant experience.
A big thank you to everyone there and for making my stay such a good time.
Thanks again.

beautiful garden, there is something for everyone who resides at Old Prebendal. I am so happy that my brother is in such good hands. Thank you everyone.

of the building and the tranquil surroundings also made it the perfect place to recover.

place this is. Nothing was too much trouble and it was an absolute privilege to watch these wonderful carers in action. They were so gentle and patient and knew just what was needed without being asked. Thank you so much for caring for Mum and the family with such kindness.

feel at home. After a difficult few months and a brief disastrous experience at another nursing home, my mother finally found a home where she could relax in comfort, confident that all the care she needed was on-hand. Her room was fresh, bright and beautifully decorated and furnished with a modern clean bathroom. The home is housed in a historic and characterful Cotswold stone building in a quiet traditional Cotswold village. It has a homely rather than institutional feel and is surrounded by delightful, well-tended gardens with fountains, benches and terraces for residents to enjoy. We couldn't recommend The Old Prebendal House and its staff more highly.

best interests at heart and did their utmost to keep her happy, clean and comfortable. Caring and nursing is a really tough job and these people join as one happy professional team to provide a peaceful, clean, safe, homely environment and the very best for their residents. They really do all care and this is demonstrated daily. Caring cannot be taught, it is from within and the consistently helpful Management have chosen their team well. The environment is truly stunning and I’m hoping that now my Mum is hopefully on the mend she will be able to enjoy the beautifully kept gardens and communal areas more often. It is always such a pleasure to visit her, we are made so welcome.

been to such a clean and welcoming establishment. Every single member of staff, regardless of their job role, is totally committed to giving 110% of their knowledge, emotions and skill to each and every resident and visitor alike. The building itself is kept to what I can only describe as a 5-star standard, impeccable. The catering and hospitality staff are so skilled in their roles. Honestly, the food was like eating in a restaurant. I would have paid good money to eat the food in any hotel or eatery it was absolutely beautiful. I think the highest compliment I can give is that I would happily and very confidently recommend my own mother lives in this home, when the time comes.

the Old Prebendal have and are managing them exceptionally well. Further to this, they provide such a stimulating and wonderful environment which gives me so much comfort and reassurance as to his wellbeing, both physical and emotional. I can say he is genuinely happy to be there. The activities are always so varied and plentiful and if it is not a drinks reception outside, BBQ or hosting part a regional Art Week, there will be something else fun and original. They clearly have a genuine respect for their residents and are always welcoming and professional when myself and my young family visit. I can not think of a better place for my father to be!

care. There is a comprehensive communication policy set in place to ensure a dialogue between the caregivers and relatives. This builds confidence and trust in the knowledge that any issues that arise are acknowledged and hopefully acted upon. Such is my satisfaction, I would not want my Mother to be anywhere else.
