Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother spent her last 20 months at Oxenford House after her cancer had been diagnosed. The personal care she was given was excellent, particularly as she became less able to look after herself. All the staff were professional, kind and tactful. The care home is very clean, tidy and efficiently
run.
My mother enjoyed many of the activities regularly organised. The poetry and music sessions were great favourites, but one of the services she most appreciated was the regular manicures. She was proud of her nails for the first time in over 90 years.
My mother also appreciated the willingness of the management to be flexible over changing her room to accommodate her personal effects.
The end-of-life care she was given was excellent and she was very relieved to be able to receive the care she needed without having to be admitted to hospital. In my mother's last few days, I was touched by the care taken with small details to make her room quiet and restful.

My mother chose to come to Oxenford House without hesitation after three short respite stays. Everyone at Abbeyfield made her last eighteen months of life as happy and fulfilled as possible. She was treated as an individual, with sensitivity and respect, and really felt this was her home. Visitors were
made so welcome and all friends and family commented positively on their experience of visiting mum. Any little issues worrying mum were ironed out and thought given to her particular interests. She loved the garden, taking daily walks under the watchful eye of the staff, and was particularly delighted when the baby ducklings hatched! Little but important matters that meant so much.
We were particularly glad that mum's wish to remain at Oxenford in her final days was fulfilled, and the sensitivity and care given to us all at this time were much appreciated.
I have recommended Oxenford House to other people and will continue to do so.

My Mother was at Abbeyfield Cumnor for about 6 years and I have nothing but praise for the way that she was looked after and the very professional management there. Everybody showed very tender care and great patience in dealing with her character and various needs.


I hope that it is still running

when my time comes.

I am very happy to recommend Oxenford House as a place which has provided and is providing very good care for my mother, who has been a resident there for the last 6 years. The staff manage her complex needs with sensitivity and care. She has arthritis, poor sight and hearing and is now in the advanced
stages of dementia. It has been a blessing for me and all her family to know that she is well looked after by staff who understand her well. One particular asset of this home is the fact that the staff change little and so they get to know the residents very well and are able to cater for their changing needs over a long period of time.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother spent nearly two years at Oxenford House. As her immediate relative, I was very happy with her care. The home is relatively small with a friendly and inclusive atmosphere. As a resident, she was treated with respect and dignity and her individual needs met with patience and understanding.
Staff were flexible and considerate and when she no longer wished to eat with other residents in the dining room, she was given her meals in her room. The food was varied, fresh and with choices and the menu sometimes quite superior on special occasions.
A variety of activities were arranged by the staff, including a poetry group which my mother very much enjoyed. Local groups from outside the house were often invited in to provide entertainment and interaction with residents.
The home has a feeling of being well run and the staff happy. There was always a warm welcome as a visitor and the Manager always had time for a chat.
I would absolutely recommend Oxenford House.

Overall, I am very impressed with the care my mother receives. All the staff seem friendly and helpful. The residents have a variety of entertainments on a regular basis. The staff interact in a caring fashion with the residents and will help with any queries I may have. All staff are approachable and
nothing seems too much trouble for them.


The house is clean and fresh smelling. The meals served are varied with a couple of choices on the menu. It's a small and cosy establishment, carpeted throughout, giving a quiet atmosphere.


I would consider Oxenford House myself if ever I have the need of help in my old age.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Oxenford House was the first residential care home we entered that exuded happy active homeliness, most of the residents were up and about in the main day rooms doing organised activities, in with the hairdresser, reading or chatting with each other and staff. There were no “head back mouth open” residents
in evidence which were often the most common sight in other homes we saw; I didn't believe that happens by accident and since my mother moved in 9 months ago we now know it doesn't.


To be honest it's difficult to say how positive I feel about the care my mother is getting without sounding over the top but I am totally genuine when I say the management and staff in all areas are first class. As a relatively small home the manager is constantly in contact with all the team and has been able to retain key people for many years and that really matters in delivering the highest quality care. This home is a little gem and my mother is very happy there.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.847)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.847) out of 10 for Oxenford House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.847 for Oxenford House is calculated as follows: ( (185 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.847

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Oxenford House is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
