I’m happy and feel safe here, considering I can’t be at home.
We stayed safe during the pandemic under trying circumstances.
I can’t live in my own home anymore but here is the next best thing.
The staff are very good to me.

Each time I visit, I am greeted in an extremely warm welcome and in spite of Covid restrictions, I feel the home, in all aspects, runs in a very good, reliable system.
Well done.

Review from Judith G (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 16 June 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
She says her room is really nice and very clean. She enjoys the singing but is disappointed she cannot join in with the activities because of her poor eyesight. She was rushed into care last September due to a dramatic change in family circumstances - the carers went out of their way to help her to
cope, as she really was not prepared for the change. Once again, in November when her son died; the compassion shown to her was second to none, which was very reassuring to us as her family. We look forward to a time when we can be more involved with her care at the home. Big thank you from all the family.

Review from Tina B (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 7 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law started off staying as a respite resident. She enjoyed her stays and remarked how lovely everyone was. Recently, she has moved in and appears to be much happier being around the company constantly, both other residents and staff, and they can offer the care and attention that we weren’t
able to provide as time went on.


The staff have been so supportive during respite and moving in. Not once has this felt like a business transaction, which sadly I felt with other places we looked at. Right from the start, it was about my mother-in-law and what she needed. I’ve never felt rushed when I called to ask numerous questions.


Feel very assured about my mother-in-law living here.

Thank you so much for letting me visit Mum today (13/5/21).
I was riddled with guilt from not seeing her for nearly a year and it was such a relief to visit today.
My last phone call with Mum mainly revolved around sleep, but today she managed a good half hour! Superb and just enough time to catch
her brilliant smile, which just goes to show just how content she is,= and what a great job you are all doing making Mum at home and looking after her.
Thank you all so much.

The home provides a safe and caring environment situated in a lovely position in a small village. The care that is given is first class and my mother has been well looked after especially after what we have been through. She is happy and feels very safe. There are also activities every day for the residents
if they want to join in. I would highly recommend this care home as you will not be disappointed. The staff have been amazing.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We moved our Mum from the Care Home she was in and were very impressed with Oxendon House. They were very happy to provide a virtual tour and answer all our questions. At this time when we are unable to go into the care home to see Mum, Oxendon really put our minds at rest. It was good to see visiting
is facilitated both by secure pod and also at the window. They are always happy to talk on the phone if we have any questions and keep us informed of how Mum is. Mum's room looks very nice and she was able to take her chair and some personal things. The staff were very welcoming when Mum arrived at the home, which was lovely and really helped her. It is good to see the activity list each week and I think now Mum is settling in, she will enjoy what is on offer. I like that the Facebook page is updated regularly so that we can see what they are doing. My sister and I feel confident that we have made a good decision for Mum and know she will be happy there.

Oxendon House staff are extremely dedicated and work so hard to make sure that they do not have one case of COVID-19 in the home. They have kept my dad safe and well during the pandemic, as well as having to think of their own families, and in the absence of most of the professional visitors who normally
support residents. I can't thank them enough. It is so difficult for me not to be able to visit as often as I used to, but the staff help me to keep in touch with Dad and keep me up to date with what is happening. I can't wait to visit regularly and see Dad, as well as all the staff and residents.

The care staff at Oxendon have gone above and beyond during the Covid crisis. Firstly, they have managed to keep the home virus free by their diligence outside and inside. Secondly, they have done everything possible to ensure that we have contact with our loved ones, however tricky that may be. The
staff have been patient, kind and, most importantly, empathic during a time that has been very distressing. Not being able to see a frail, beloved relative is torture but all the staff have done whatever is possible to make a terrible situation that bit better.

I just want to thank everyone at Oxendon House Care Home for keeping my friend safe, well looked after and very well fed with all the lovely home-cooked food during the pandemic.

A lovely friendly home where my mum is felt to be part of a big family, well cared for and looked after, especially in the lockdown we are going through right now. Reassuring that they have set video calling up and I can stay in touch and see my mum, helps my mum too as she can see me and my family
on the screen. Great to get email updates too. Food is great and staff are very friendly and helpful, lovely to have the social media page so we can see what they are getting up to and nice to see they have a range of activities that they can join in with. I have already recommended to several people. Keep up the good work!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.935)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.935) 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.935 for Oxendon House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (145 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.935
  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 13 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 13 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.
