Nunthorpe Oaks is a beautiful home which has recently undergone a stunning refurbishment. With a warm family feel the moment you walk through the door, it feels like home from home.
Providing residential care, the team also offers respite care breaks, which are ideal for carers looking after loved ones, who would like to plan a short break themselves.
There are spacious lounges and a garden room, as well as a new bistro-style café area. And there’s a hair salon and nail bar, for regular appointments with the mobile hairdresser, plus pampering sessions with facials, manicures and hand massages.
The gardens are beautiful and are the perfect spot to relax with loved ones, who are welcome at any time. Nunthorpe Oaks also has a private family and friends Facebook group, where families can see what their loved ones have been enjoying doing, even if they can’t be there in person.
The residents enjoy so many activities, with music from local choirs and musical entertainers to karaoke. The home even has its own choir. There are regular gentle exercise sessions, crafts, knit and knatter, baking and cocktail evenings, as well as trips to local parks, shopping and garden centres and coffee shops.
In the dining rooms, the residents enjoy delicious home-cooked meals prepared by the chef, who was proud to be crowned Best Performing Chef for the entire region at Sanctuary Care’s annual Chefs’ Conference (2023). From roast dinners with all the trimmings, to fish and chip Fridays and lighter bites like home-made soups. And there is home-baking every day for afternoon tea, with the chef’s cheese scones and cakes always going down a treat.
The local community are embraced into life at Nunthorpe Oaks, with regular church services and hymns in the home to visits from local school children.

Thank you for sharing such lovely feedback about Nunthorpe Oaks. We're delighted to hear our team takes the time to understand and respect each resident's individual preferences. It's wonderful to know you enjoyed the food and our beautiful garden.
Excellent care home for my mother. She is well looked after and appreciates the attention that the staff give her. She does wish that she does not get taken out more on day trips. My father was here for 2 years, and the same applied to him.

We are more than happy with the care of our mother here. She suffers with a sore on her back, and the staff are quick to deal with it when required. Can't seem to fault it.

Food is served in a friendly manner. Looks healthy and is presented in a tasteful way, taking into account individual residents' needs.
Rooms are well presented, and clothing is well taken care of, e.g., laundry care and labelling. Mam's room always smells clean and is well ventilated.
Only criticism would be occasional urine smell on the 1st floor corridor.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We're delighted to hear our team's compassion, attentiveness and the quality of our environment have made such a positive difference.

Both my parents came in Jan 2024. Unfortunately my dad died March 2025. The care and attention he received was excellent and very professional but what was also outstanding was the care we received as a family for all staff. His death was an experience made so much easier by the level of care we all experienced. From maintenance to kitchen not only main carers. Mum's care is still outstanding plus the help she has to cope with dad's death. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing such heartfelt feedback. We are truly touched to hear your father received such professional and compassionate care, and that our team could support your family during such a difficult time. It means a great deal to know your mum continues to feel well cared for and supported.
Love the home, have company when needed, privacy in my own room which is fabulous. Can come and go as I please as I am mobile and still drive. The garden is my domain which I love.

Love the home, have company when needed, privacy in my own room which is fabulous. Can come and go as I please as I am mobile and still drive. The garden is my domain which I love. Support if I need it. The staff are brilliant and the home runs smoothly with the manager at the helm. Food is boring same old, same old, well cooked but need more variety. Activities are more catered to the more non mobile residents but I enjoy what is aimed at us more mobile.
Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback. We're delighted you enjoy your independence, your own space, and time in the garden. It's lovely to hear you feel supported by the team.

The staff are all wonderful and we the relatives treated kindly. Its a very nice care home and we wouldn't hesitate if she felt it necessary to live there permanently.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback. We understand how important it is for loved ones to feel comfortable and supported, especially during respite care. While it's natural for your mother to have wanted to return home, we're truly glad to hear that you were happy with the care she received and that you felt welcomed and respected by our team.

All Dad's needs were met including making his room as homely as possible so thank you to house keeping and maintenance.

I would definitely recommend Nunthorpe Oaks to anyone requiring respite or long term care. My mother has settled in well and I am happy knowing she is safe, well fed and entertained daily. It gives me peace of mind, not having to worry about medication. The staff are excellent and provide a good family atmosphere whilst still maintaining a professional and personal touch. Her recent birthday was celebrated with excellent entertainment followed by afternoon tea for all the residents.
We're so pleased to hear your mother has settled in well and that you feel reassured by the care she's receiving. It's wonderful to know she enjoyed her birthday. Our team takes pride in creating a warm, supportive environment for every resident. Your kind words mean a lot to us!
A most pleasant experience. Everything about the staff, facilities, building was a positive experience and highly recommended.

I visit my mum 2-3 times weekly and there is always a welcoming atmosphere. There are regular / daily activities that are optional but encouraged and these allow for sociability amongst residents. The communal lounges are pleasant, the garden room in particular is lovely with a nice view of the garden. My mum has developed in confidence and generally when I visit she is getting involved/ observing the various activities which is a reflection of the positivity the staff have. The home is modern and clean and has excellent food and laundry services.
