Henry Cornish Care Centre

We have nothing to compare with, but we have been very satisfied with the care my father has received over the period since June that he has been a resident at Henry Cornish House, although during this time, he has had a fall and spent two weeks in hospital. Since then he has had another fall when back in HCH – the manager was very good at explaining the situation and implications.

Members of the management team are caring about his situation, they are patient and give my father confidence. Their dealings with us are good - they have kept us informed and made our enquiries welcome.

We are aware that there are activities on offer, although my father doesn’t choose to be involved. He is encouraged to be as mobile as possible and be sociable for meals. We can't confidently comment on the food question.

All of the nurses and carers were very helpful and polite and friendly and made the stay a lot better. Very clean and everyone couldn't do enough for my dad and our family. Thank you all.

This intermediate care unit is excellent. Staff are excellent. Food is excellent - Tasty, just right - got a good chef, clinicians excellent.

I arrived at this care centre following hospital treatment due to the norovirus illness leaving me dehydrated and not wanting to eat and lacking energy. I am so grateful to Henry Cornish Care - the staff at the care centre were lovely, caring, cheerful and helpful all day and every day. Food was delicious, activities enjoyable.

My husband received excellent treatment. Everyone was friendly and could not do enough for him. I would certainly recommend it to my friends.

Really cared for well. This was my second visit to the Cornish and again I had no complaints.

My Grandmother has spent several, very happy, years at the Henry Cornish Care Centre. She has had a lovely room, enjoyed the activities and facilities eg., hairdresser. Above all, she has been well cared for by lovely staff who go out of their way to support her. Thank you!

Did not want to come here but on arrival was surprised to find such a friendly, caring and efficient rehabilitation centre. I had no idea such a place existed. Well done St John's.

They were all so kind and encouraging - I couldn't fault them. I am totally in awe of the care they give!

I was transferred to this intermediate care unit from the trauma ward at the hospital without any option. However, it proved a very good move as it made visiting much easier for my wife and, having a relatively peaceful room to myself, has been a real bonus. I have been very well cared for during my three-week stay, have been well fed (too well to judge by my waist-line!) and very comfortable. Because of my limited mobility, I have been unable to make use of the facilities. My one concern is that the wonderful staff are frequently under too much pressure and must be praised for coping.

My mother's care was conducted in a friendly, caring manner, but was also professional and efficient. Apparently "the food was good and everyone was very friendly"!

As a resident, I find the staff friendly, helpful and caring. The lunchtime food is always good but sometimes the tea time food leaves a little to be desired.

Very friendly, well run home.

My mother was looked after following a spell in hospital after falling at home. She had broken her right arm and hip and needed a lot of support both physically and mentally. All staff were amazing - very caring, professional and proficient in their dealings with both mum and her family. I very much appreciate the help and advice given to me in finding a suitable care home for mum's permanent residence after leaving.

Being purpose built gives the facility many advantages over a converted property. En-suite, light and airy communal areas wide corridors etc. My mother has made friendships and is now clearly benefitting from the range of activities provided. Weekly GP surgeries and on-site hairdressing salon are positive bonuses.

My elderly aunt, who was frail and had developed Alzheimer’s disease, was cared for in Henry Cornish Care Centre from 2014 until her death in 2017. The family were delighted she could be cared for in Chipping Norton as she was born there and had lived there all her life. The care was excellent throughout. My aunt was always clean, tidily dressed, smiling and content when we visited, and the staff always cheerful and friendly. The regular hairdresser and podiatry service were appreciated too. On her 90th birthday, the home laid on a splendid buffet and made the day really special. The family will always be grateful to this care home for making my aunt’s final years, despite her many care needs, as comfortable and happy as they were.

My Mother spent 13 very happy months at Henry Cornish. During her time there she was treated with respect, care and dignity. Her wish was to have end of life care here, which she did, and during this time was treated with the same dignity, care and compassion as in previous months. Apart from my mother's experience my family, especially myself and my husband were supported well throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home to anyone in the future.

Staff are very welcoming and the home is a lovely place full of light, good fragrant atmosphere with fruit bowls available all the time. Meals are brilliant, choice and good quality. Activities are good in the week but after 6 pm nothing happens - I feel very lonely and want company in the evenings. Laundry is very well looked after. However, respite room is very basic without any 'softness'. The bed was very slippery and sheet kept coming off. Resident rooms look great, but a stark contrast to the respite room, but I like the home.

We were very delighted with the care and attention given to our mother. Many thanks to all the staff

I would like to say how good and kind all the staff are to us and helpful at all times.
