My father came into Cavell House aged 93, for end of life care, having been given less than a week to live. Here we are 3.5 years later and my Father is just about to celebrate his 97th birthday. Cavell House literally saved his life. They have supported him not only physically but mentally too. They
have accommodated him every step of the way. He is a fiercely independent man and they have given him the means to be as autonomous as possible. As a family we know he is in the right place. He is safe, comfortable and looked after to a very high standard.

This care home is wonderful, the staff go back and beyond to help the residence nothing is too much trouble.

We felt very welcome into the home to visit our aunt in her last few months. All the staff treated her with love and kindness. She always looked clean and well cared for. The room was bright and airy with a nice view of garden. Although our aunt had dementia and was easily distressed, we found her much
more settled here than at her previous care home. We commend the nursing staff for their compassion and professionalism.

Cavell House Care Home

from Andy M (Son of Resident) published on 9 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Some staff more compassionate/caring than others. Told by nurse within minutes of mum's admission that I had to get an undertaker as the body needs be removed within 3 hours of death. Brutal. One nurse has zero compassion/people skills. Lovely staff helped personalise mum's room which helped massively.
Staff shortages lead to unanswered call bells and mum being left in soiled pants some mornings. I requested medicine for painful mouth ulcers, nothing was actioned so I was told to buy over counter myself. Then nurse refused to administer it! Staff smoke on premises (outside). I had to push hard for mum to receive a direct drive for final days as the regular injections were causing her to scream in pain. I received a call at midnight to say mum had died and the nurse said "I told you to wait a few more hours" (I'd been at her side until a few hours earlier and every day for 4 months). Uncaring comment. Mum's watch was removed from her body and "disposed of" before going to undertaker.
Reply from Julie Slater, Home Manager at Cavell House Care Home

We take complaints and concerns very seriously at Cavell House. Please contact the home and I will arrange for you to meet with the regional manager to discuss your concerns. Once again we send our condolences on the loss of your mum

From our initial contact seeking respite for Dad, we were so pleased with the immediate and professional response we received. After visiting Muirton House, we felt assured and confident that this would be a good place. During Dad's respite, he was well looked after with staff going above and beyond
to reassure him he was treated as a welcome guest.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law hasn't got her dentures in when visited today. She complained about her mouth being sore. I bought her some oral pain relief gel for her from the supermarket. Carer said she would put it on.
She isn't wearing her glasses to watch TV. The home said they would get the opticians to come
in over a month ago, still not done.
Mum is unable to verbalise which is difficult for us when communicating. I have asked for a device to assist her with the calls. The home says they have one but to date, this is not being used. This is distressing for Mum and us as a family, especially as we live in Oxford. Please can you ensure these things are done?
She pays for her care so needs help with this to enhance her interaction with us.
Thanks.

Dear Teresa, I apologise that your experience doesn't meet your expectations. We would like to invite you in to review your concerns raised, and the Home Manager will contact you to arrange a meeting. Thank you for sharing your feedback, best wishes Katie Wilkinson (Regional Manager)

My brother has settled in well at Cavell House due to his comfortable room and the caring staff. He has very complex needs and is pretty much non-verbal due to a degenerative condition. Most staff are understanding and through kindness and compassion help him through his day. After a long traumatic
time in hospital, he is now cared for in a manner that his family is very appreciative of. Thank you to those at Cavell House who go the extra mile to help him through this tragic time.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this review. Your brother is settling in well and as he builds relationships with the team they are learning to communicate with him more effectively. As a team, we are keen to make sure that we give him the care that he needs with dignity and respect.

We are grateful for the care that we have all had over the last 3.5 years. In every aspect of Mum's care, she has been looked after and we have been kept informed. All professionals who came into contact with Mum treated her with respect, kindness and understanding (because she wasn't always at her
best/kindest). End-of-life care was just what she asked for. She felt safe, loved and cared for. We can't thank you enough.

My mother-in-law is doing well with the care here. Some days she says better than others.
She has Macular Degeneration and although looks like she can see, staff need to know she can't see well at all. Needs help with such and her balance is very poor.
Reply from Sandra Reilly, Home Manager at Muirton House Nursing Home

Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. We take all reviews and look at how to make improvements so that we can provide the best care and support on an individual basis. We are striving to have a stable, well-trained team, that is aware of all the intricacies of providing care for all residents, and we will take your comments and use them to expand on all staff induction and training. Our activity coordinator works closely with her and tries to provide appropriate activities for her based on what she has discussed with her. This is a continual learning process and is open to suggestions from both the client and you as her family, who have a great knowledge base for us to utilise. We are also looking at changing the menus for the summer, and have gained feedback from all residents including the client, on what they would like to see added. This was passed to the cook.

Mum has been a resident of Muirton House since October 2023. It was a hard decision for my sister and I to find a care home for Mum, as she had lived in her own home till that point. Staff were supportive and helped Mum and us settle her into her new home. Knowing she is in a safe and caring environment
means so much to us. Mum has now fully settled in and enjoys the company of other residents. She joins in some of the many interesting activities that are regularly scheduled for the residents. The lady who organises the activities is always cheerful and welcoming. The grounds are lovely, and we look forward to taking Mum outside for more than a quick walk, in warmer weather.
Staff are caring, attentive, respectful and nothing is too much trouble.
