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.

Mum was taken in here after she had a fall and fractured her wrist and ribs on Christmas day. The staff cheered her up and the food and service to my mum was excellent. She was never alone there and even though she was diagnosed with dementia, she was and is still very bright. She has had two more falls since and once again been admitted to this home she was looking forward to seeing them all and rang me today to say don’t worry about me I'm happy here. This means the world when you know they are happy. Thanks guys, your work means the world to us.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our home. It's so wonderful to hear how settled and happy your mum is with us at Nunthorpe Oaks. She is always welcome. Best wishes, Fae
Lovely surroundings and beautifully clean home. Mum has just been in a couple of days, she said the food is lovely and the care people are really patient and kind.

Mum has been at the home for about five years. I know mum has always been looked after very well. The staff have worked tirelessly through the Covid epidemic and always manage to keep smiling. The staff have always gone above and beyond to accommodate both my mum and family. Thank you to all the staff for everything you do. You are all amazing.
Transition to the care home was made quite easily thanks to the friendly approach of the staff. Moving to a new residential situation can be difficult but in my case, I had no problems.

Mum took a while to settle into Nunthorpe Oaks but the staff took time to get her needs and personality. She gets the best of care and is really happy to participate in events. The new manager is a great improvement and now that renovations are complete, the home looks lovely. The food is excellent too. The care staff are doing a great job in these difficult Covid times.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Nunthorpe Oaks and for your kind words. It is so lovely to hear how settled your mum now is with us and that you are pleased with our recent refurbishment. Best wishes, Fae.

This is over and above a care home. The care is amazing, as are the carers. The food is excellent, and the rooms are so pretty, functional, accessible and so clean. The facilities are brilliant, with various meeting and seating areas, both quiet and buzzy, and even a bistro restaurant as well as a dining room. What I did notice is that the encouragement to mix has meant that the home is alive and has something for everyone. I cannot praise this home for my dad enough, and both my brother and I agree we made an excellent choice. It is light, bright and happy and gives very good vibes. Their Covid precautions are excellent.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Nunthorpe Oaks and for your outstanding review - it is so appreciated by our team. We are so pleased with how our refurbishment has come along and are glad you love it too! best wishes.
The home is comfortable, clean and facilities are fine. Staff are friendly and helpful.

The care home is very professional; the staff are caring and attentive to the resident's needs. I would recommend Nunthorpe Oaks to any person who may have a family member in need of care.

My mum came into the home at the beginning of May 2021. We have found most things have been good. A few issues with the booking in system for visits but overall we are very pleased. I do think we could be advised on a regular basis how our loved ones are doing, especially when my Mum arrived, there seemed to be no one to speak to, I had to look for the manager in the end. The Covid testing lad tended to be the only one who knew how she was doing. He wasn't a carer but tried his best to fill me in.
Visiting arrangements very well organised. Staff always very caring and helpful.

My mum has settled into this home really quickly and seems the happiest we have seen her in a long time. She is really well looked after and is forever praising the staff for everything they do for her.

Always been made very welcome and during the pandemic this care home has been amazing. My cousin always talks about his carers with affection which is a great comfort.

The staff are friendly, but the restrictions on home visits isn't great. Two visits a week is heart breaking. During a difficult time in February Nunthorpe Oaks Residential Care Home were fantastic. It's difficult to comment as we have only just been allowed inside the home. The pod took too long to be sorted.
Overall, the care for my mum has been very good. The staff work hard under sometimes challenging circumstances. The COVID pandemic must have added extra challenges for the staff and they have dealt with this very professionally.

Our residents at Nunthorpe Oaks come first. I love interacting with them and supporting them to feel happy and fulfilled. We have so many lovely activities going on to enrich their lives. I am deeply passionate about involving the local community in life in the home, keeping those community connections alive for our residents to enjoy.

I love the residents and making sure they have a lovely, clean environment to live in.
