Mum loves going to Dove Court for respite.The staff are always loving, caring and supportive with her. The manager of Dove Court also gives mum all the support she needs. Also gives me a lot of support too and help with lots of advice for me to care for my mum at home. Mum has always said if she has
to go into a care home she will only go here. We love everything about Dove Court. Management, staff, rooms, entertainment, food and drink. Thank you everyone.

My 89-year-old mother has been living at Dove Court for five years and is thoroughly enjoying her stay. The home is bright and cheerful and there are social activities to engage with residents and have fun. The staff are friendly, helpful, and professional. My mother's carers are kind and compassionate
and take care of her everyday needs; she has a choice of delicious drinks and meals throughout the day. My mother has a lovely comfortable room with sunlight beaming through her window; it is beautifully decorated and is peaceful. My mother is safe and secure, and I am very happy with the service provided.

Mum has been in Dove Court for a few years now, first arriving during Covid. From the start, and in difficult circumstances, the care home staff have shown great care and compassion to both Mum and us, her family. The staff engage well with her despite her dementia and associated communication difficulties.
Mum is well fed, and her health is well-cared for. Clear effort is made to include her in the communal activities arranged for the residents. Overall, Dove Court provides a very positive experience for us all.

Very caring staff, a very skilled and caring manager. My Mother has been in now for almost 2 years, and the day she went in, Dove Court immediately accommodated her when it was quite an emergency at the time. She is well looked after and all of the staff I have met are a credit to the home and the manager
who also works tirelessly.

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.

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
Overall Experience  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.

My brother has been at Dove Court for several years now, but to my shame, I have only now come to write a review. From his first day at Dove Court, the Manager and all staff, have always taken time to get to know his every need; and notice the smallest of changes in his demeanour, They react to these
changes with immediacy, patience, kindness and understanding. They treat him with dignity and have a great rapport with him, using humour appropriately that he loves and responds well to. Communication is excellent and staff inform me immediately of any changes to his personal needs or anything that he requires. The home is clean and well furnished and I have always received a warm and hospitable welcome on my arrival, having travelled a long distance. He really enjoys the food and always tells me that he's very happy. He wouldn't want to be anywhere else. There is no greater recommendation than that! I have always felt very happy that he is well cared for - just like a family member.

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.

I found Dove Court to be extremely warm and welcoming for my mother from day one. The staff are very warm and friendly, and the manager is always available for both feedback and support. My mother was taken and looked after there, the day after my father (her carer) was taken to hospital after suffering

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.
