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.

I am writing this review having just returned from visiting my mother in Nunthorpe Oaks, where a great time was had by all residents, staff and visitors. A 'dress as the decade you were born in' day had been arranged, complete with a singer and people in fancy dress. A brilliant atmosphere was created. For anyone who finds the idea of care homes 'depressing', you really need to visit. The staff here don't just care for the residents, they care about them. A team of activity organisers ensure that residents are engaged at a level they can access, as well as meeting their physical needs. Brilliant!
Very friendly and professional staff. Lovely food!

This care home is a very great credit to its manager and all her staff. The manager and all her staff are very resident-orientated with all their thinking. It is a pleasure to go and see everyone happy, with clean rooms and excellent food. Visitors are treated like one of the Oaks family.

I like my room, I can have it how I want to. I enjoy my days here. I like going to games and activities and I like my pamper days. It's spotless.

My mother-in-law has been a resident since May 2022 and the care she has received has been excellent from the manager to care workers and kitchen staff, they all made her feel so welcome as well as ourselves. The entertainment team are excellent and never fails to keep the residents entertained at all times. I cannot praise the team enough for all their hard work and care is definitely their number one priority. Well done to the Nunthorpe Oaks Team, you are simply the best!

I do feel improvements could be made on the personal care front, e.g. nails (both hands and feet), hair (i.e. brushing and styling, especially after a shower) and generally the attention to detail over and above the basic care. Note: I understand staff can't cut toenails but keeping an eye on when they need doing is important.
Having been put in the situation of finding a home for my aunt after becoming unable to live at home and not knowing what I was looking for I came across Nunthorpe Oaks after many many hours searching reviews on many many homes. I contacted Sanctuary and they put me in touch with the deputy...
I cannot say thank you enough times to everyone!
Since Mum entered this home she has settled in well and the staff have made her very welcome. The activities are good and she joins in most of them.

it. One of the best new additions to the team is a new Activities Coordinator who goes above and beyond to keep residents active and entertained, ably assisted by the other Activities Coordinator. We are looking forward to the beach day, there seems to be so much more going on. Our mum has dementia and is 90 she did the exercise class with the Activities Coordinator this week. We are so grateful.
Good care home, clean. The staff are very helpful.

Very pleasant and helpful staff. Good food and a nice room although the bathroom is maybe a little small in regards to people with mobility issues and staff getting in as well etc. A call button near the chair as well as on the wall may help as well. Overall though, very good.

We are kept connected with my dad through Skype which has given us great peace of mind.
