Review from Jenny H (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 January 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother had respite care for 7 weeks. She was made to feel welcome and all staff made a determined effort to involve her in activities. They were kind and considerate to my mother's needs and cognitive ability. Meals could be taken in the dining room or own room as my mother wished. As a family, we
were listened to and encouraged to visit at any time. All our questions were answered courteously and honestly.
Reply from Gareth Knight, Manager at Oxendon House Care Home
Thank you for taking the time to write a review, Jenny. It was a pleasure having your mother at the home and your input in helping her to settle was very much appreciated.

My father only stayed in this care home for one night as on the morning following his admission we visited mid-morning and it was clear that we needed to get him straight out again.

Although we accept that we could have done better in relation to the short stay of the resident referred to in this review, we do feel that the review is very unfair. We do not feel the resident was…read more

The majority of the staff are kind and caring.
We like going out on the bud. They are very supportive.
More staff are needed at times.
Thank you for enabling me to be with my husband of 66 years.

Review from Beryl L (Wife of Resident) published on 17 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband has been a resident at Oxenden House for nearly 12 months and I am thoroughly satisfied with the care and attention that has been provided by all the staff during this time. All the staff greet you with a smile whenever visiting and the atmosphere in the home under the present manager is
cheerful, friendly, homely yet efficient.
I don't think I can add anything other except to say I am very pleased that we chose Oxenden House as a home for my husband now that I can no longer look after him.

Review from D N (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The home was able to provide convalescence care at short notice. The room was new and well equipped, the bathroom was disability friendly. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The food was standard but a good choice each day. The manager was new to the role but the home appeared to be well
run. We would definitely return in the future should further care be required.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Since there has been a new manager, things in the home are so much better. The staff are great even though there are not enough on duty to be in all the areas. Weekends are often the worst. The care for my husband is great but there often doesn't seem to be time to deal with basic needs. He has been
in Oxendon House Care Home for over two years and the best care is now.

Everyone here seems really friendly and welcoming. My friend always seems really happy when I visit. They have started to eat well again as they really enjoy the food, it's nice to see that it's all home style cooking. The new rooms look fantastic.

Review from Lorraine M (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 November 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was accepted at Oxendon House after an extreme crisis period and hospital care of 4.5 months. I was distraught at the through of putting my vibrant, self assured mother into a home. I needn't have worried. Mum's health and mental capacity have improved dramatically since moving in. The
care and respect she receives is 2nd to none. All staff care about her, and for her, nothing is too much trouble. The Senior Nurse and the home Manager have both provided me with the support to accept this position. They have been, and conitnue to be, way above what I expected, such professionals with over arching 'care' for both the residents and their families. I am truly blown away by how much all the staff do for mum and all other residents, they truly care and I have seen several very light hearted moments where everyone is laughing. Mum has a beautiful room and bathroom and has 'visits' several times a day from staff 'popping in' with tea, snacks, medications etc... often sitting down for a little chat. Mum absolutely loves it there, something I never thought she would accept. She loves the food, adores her room, enjoys the food and most of all has the freedom to get involved with little household activities which remind her of her independent days. She helps with handing out teas, tidying the 'sock drawer' and the day room as she feel fit to, something that some homes would not allow. It has proved to be Mum's saviour and I can once again see her vibrant personality shining through. She is safe, happy and in the best place she could possibly be. If you are at all concerned about putting a loved one into a home, check out Oxendon House, I would recommend it. I feel happy having my mum live there and I'm not an easy lady to please!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the staff at Oxendon House for the care and love you gave to my friend.
From the moment she arrived she was made to feel so special and everyone made great efforts to get to know her and I will be eternally grateful that she spent her last days
amount such caring and professional people.
My visits were always welcomed and the staff were always courteous and ready to assist with any issues that I might have, the home is run as a family environment so I found it easy to visit.


I would also like to say a great thanks to the management team for their invaluable advice and support regarding dementia care, they were very good at simplifying some of the issues we encountered when trying to find a home for our loved one.


The home is excellent, clean and well run and I would recommend it to anyone who has a relative with dementia.

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.
