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.

Beautiful Home where my mam was a resident. Knowing that my mam was safe and cared for meant everything to me. Management and staff went above and beyond caring for my mam, especially at the end of her life. I would like to thank everyone. So much love.

The staff are to be congratulated for all the care provided. Christmas and New Year were memorable with all the special decorations, excellent food, like a 4-star hotel and the Christmas and New Year parties. I have also enjoyed an outing to a particular place, the first time since February last...

Mum recently suffered a fall and sustained a badly broken upper arm, for which the only treatment was to put the arm in a sling. The care and support from the team at Nunthorpe Oaks during this difficult time was amazing. So much so that we, the family, managed to salvage one week of a two week holiday, confident that Mum was in the best possible hands. Can't thank or praise them enough.
Thank you for leaving such a lovely review, the team at Nunthorpe Oaks will be touched to read your comments and we are so pleased you were able to have a well-deserved holiday too.

My mum has been a resident for nearly two years, during this time staff have always gone above and beyond to look after my mum. Praise to the deputy manager who is very approachable and, along with his staff, shows so much care and dedication to all residents. Thank you so much.

We visited our aunty to celebrate her 100th birthday. The people that were working at this care home were so friendly. They had put on a lovely party to help her celebrate and even provided a beautiful cake. It was my first visit but I was really impressed by this care home.

Thank you so much for your review. It's wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed your aunt's birthday party - our team loved helping you all celebrate. Best wishes, Fae.
On our regular visits the staff are always courteous and helpful. Our family member is always given full attention and care whatever she requires. No requests are turned down and there is thoughtfulness, dignity and respect at all times.

Thank you so much for your review of our home - it is so appreciated!
Overall the care, facilities, activities and staff are good. My father says the food has improved recently but before that not enough variation in the menu. Most desserts are served with cream, the goujons too hard to chew and how about a little more fish/seafood on the menu?

I hope you don't mind that this is rhyme, it's what I have now done for a while. I can now safely say my review is ok and hope it makes you smile. The head of the workforce and deputy to are always attentive to the staff. The carers are also second to none, they are dutiful, helpful and laugh. Even the cleaners that come in each morn are willing to do what they must. By the time we arrive it's all spic and span and we know what they've done we entrust.
I like being with other people and socialising with other residents in the home.
