Mum has been a resident at Oxendon House for nearly three years and is very happy in the very 'homely' home. The staff are always cheerful and friendly when we visit and understand mum well. The activities are varied, the food always looks appetising and the menu sounds excellent. The care mum has received
has been excellent from the dedicated and hard working staff. We are sure mum is in the right home.

My mother has been a resident since January 2024 and I couldn't be happier with the care that she receives, it really is a home away from home. She has Alzheimer's and this can sometimes cause challenging behaviour, but it is always dealt with gently and with exceptional professionalism. I can rest
easy knowing that she is safe and her sparkle and smile are still there.

My sister has been a resident in Oxendon House since January 2024. She is very settled and happy there. She responds well to the staff, who are all understanding and very aware of her needs; they are also very supportive of us, her family. They provide a wide range of activities, some of which she joins
in with. I am pleased to have been able to recommend the home to friends who are looking for residential care for their parents, etc.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care provided for my aunt is outstanding. Her needs are being met by a team of friendly and professional staff. The activates offered at the home are stimulating and meet the needs of the clients well. These activities are wide ranging and lead enthusiastically by the activities coordinator.
The
range of food provided takes into account dietry requirements and clients medical needs. My aunt still gets "treat" items when she wants them, not just the catered meals. Services like hairdressing and manicured help clients to feel positive about themselves helping with the move from independent living to a care setting. We couldn't be more satisfied with the care provided here. My aunt is gently encouraged to join in, especially on days when her mood is low and engagement expectations are tailored to these ups and downs due to her developing dementia.

Due to a family move, we needed to find a new care home for Dad. Oxendon House seemed the best fit for Dad's needs and the room available was very nice, with patio doors and lots of space.
The team at Oxendon House has made the whole transfer of Dad a very pleasant experience and was and are extremely
helpful and caring. Dad has settled in better than expected by the family and this is due to the care and professionalism of the whole team at Oxendon House, which we highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From my first visit to Oxendon House, I knew it was the right place for my Dad. It has a truly warm, homely and caring feel. The transition for my Dad was impressively fast, the staff had everything arranged smoothly, showing both exceptional organisation and genuine commitment. The staff are incredibly
warm, welcoming and professional. They communicate openly and effectively with me. They treat my Dad with the utmost dignity and respect. They genuinely care about the residents, creating a convivial, supportive and positive environment. The setting itself is beautiful, well-maintained, and always kept spotlessly clean. The food is excellent. I feel completely at ease knowing my Dad is not only safe but also truly cared for. It's clear that the home is led by strong, compassionate leadership that values open communication; I am always kept well informed and feel fully involved in my Dad's care. The entire team's dedication shines through every day. I would not hesitate to recommend.

My auntie moved into Oxendon House some time ago after a prolonged hospital stay, followed by being poorly looked after at a different care establishment. Whilst she still suffers from mobility issues, the staff and management at Oxendon House have provided excellent care, enabling her to regain her
health and enjoy a much better quality of life than she had previously. Thank you.

Review from Lesley W (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are so happy with the love and care Mum received in the last months of her life. Staff coped with her dementia and sometimes challenging behaviour in such a knowledgeable and gentle manner, often with humour, and made our family’s life so much easier knowing she was well looked after. We were always
cheerfully greeted and everyone, from management to cleaning staff, was supportive to both our family visiting every day and me living so far away in taking an interest, offering advice and a listening ear when needed. I felt they always had time for us, as well as Mum.
Everywhere is kept very clean and nicely decorated. We especially loved the peaceful and secure garden that can be accessed freely from within. Activities are improving now as new staff have come in and the social media page keeps us up-to-date with photos – lovely for those of us that can’t often visit.
A huge thank you to everyone at Oxendon House Care Home for doing such a great job: very well done.

Review from Leean I (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care Mum received from this wonderful home has been extraordinary - it's something I will never forget. Mum moved from another home in a spiraling decline of dementia. Staff at Oxendon House quickly assessed her needs and involved the mental health team. Mum was started on new medication and this
(and the vastly superior care) literally changed everything for her, reducing her agitation massively. Nothing was too much trouble, they treated her with so much love and respect despite her very challenging behaviours.
Mum reached the end of her journey with this terrible illness whilst in residence. They were always one step ahead of her needs and talked me through everything, preparing me for things that I'd never considered.
I spent the last week with Mum day and night and felt involved in her care 100%.
Losing her to dementia was heartbreaking but would have been so much worse without their love and care.
I can't thank or recommend Oxendon House enough.
They are wonderful!

Review from Paul B (Brother of Resident) published on 6 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My brother has been in Oxendon House Care Home for twelve months. He seems comfortable and the home is well looked after. Most of the staff are good, some excellent - I've never seen any being downright unhelpful. Senior staff are generally on the ball when it comes to illnesses and medication and keep
me informed of any problems. There seems to have been a lack of organised activities over the last year, which is more of a concern to some users than others, no doubt. It bothers me that the GP hardly ever visits, (whatever the CQC might like to think) leaving most things to a physician associate but I suspect this is par for the course now in most care homes.

The team at Oxendon House Care Home are amazing, kind, dedicated and nothing is too much trouble for them.
They really take the time to ensure my mum is well cared for and kept active.
Despite her obvious communication issues, they go to great lengths to understand her and her needs.
The social media
page is well maintained and is a pleasure to see how engaged all the residents are in the various regular activities and themed events.
She enjoys her food and is complimentary about the meals.
I am very happy that the manager and the team were able to take her in at short notice during the pandemic. She is clearly happy here in a safe, open and homely environment.
Very well done and thank you to all the team for always making me feel welcome when I call or visit.

I wanted to write and say how delighted I am with the care my husband has had during his five-month stay at Oxendon House Care Home. The staff are dedicated and experienced. My husband has been treated with kindness and consideration. The staff work to a very high standard and have a knowledge of the
people in their care. I have always been treated with kindness and all my requests and enquires have been cheerfully met.
My husbands room is beautifully maintained his bathroom is spotless. It is obvious that a great deal of hard work has gone into maintaining standards. During my visits various meals have been served, again I have been impressed by the presentation and quality of these meals. My husband loves his food therefore this is very important to him.
Oxendon House is a very beautiful building that has the feel of a home, its not ostentatious but just really pleasant and homely, the sort of place you feel comfortable.
Thank you all.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.892)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.892) out of 10 for Oxendon House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.892 for Oxendon House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (150 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.892
  2. 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 Oxendon House Care Home is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
