Oxford house nursing home is an absolute gem! From the moment we visited, we felt welcomed and appreciated. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely passionate about all residents, specially from my father. The facilities are well - maintained, clean and comfortable, creating a warm
and inviting atmosphere. Activities are fantastic and diverse, which keep the residents engaged and entertained.

My father's partner has been a resident at Oxford House for almost six years now and will be 94 this year. I'm sure getting to this age has a lot to do with the excellent care she receives at Oxford House. My father who has always visited regularly is also treated with the utmost respect and kindness.

Mum has been very comfortable at Oxford House. She is well supported by staff who are very friendly. The room is nice and is kept clean. It is well furnished and is maintained well. Anything that Mum needs is sorted quickly and the staff are always on hand to help Mum e.g. changing her, keeping her
comfortable, giving medication. The staff look after family and friends who visit as well, they always ask if they want any food/drinks whilst visiting.

Dad has been living at Oxford House Nursing Home for 2 and a half years now. During his time here, he seems really settled. The atmosphere within Oxford House is always welcoming. The staff are exceptional and generally caring. Nothing is ever too much trouble and it's nice to see that Dad is comfortable,
happy and at home.

It was a daunting time for our family, finding a caring setting where we knew Mum's needs would be met. Oxford House immediately put those worries to rest; the staff are professional, caring, and kind. Mum is reaching the end of her life and being in this safe, thoughtful place is a gift that gives
us a sense of security and dignity to our Mum.

My partner has only been in Oxford House for one month so it is still early days, all staff have been very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The carers and nurses do a good job and all the activities staff are very enthusiastic. The kitchen, cleaning, maintenance and laundry staff are also proficient
and amenable. Food and drink preferences are noted and provided for individuals. The meals are very basic and not wildly exciting. The management makes themselves available for personal discussions despite their busy workloads. So far, so good.

Round-the-clock nursing and attention to detail are excellent. We couldn't do without all your help and understanding and certainly wouldn't be able to deal with the situation at home.
Oxford House staff are all lovely, dedicated

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I frequently visit both my parents at Oxford House and am made very welcome by all the staff, they are always extremely sensitive and attentive to all the residents and both management and staff always appear calm and cheerful. I am often present at meal times and have observed that the food and drink
presented is varied and of a high standard. The rooms are clean and uncluttered, and the residents always appear kempt and appropriately dressed. In the mornings there are different activities put on to provide stimulation which the residents participate in and enjoy. I have observed quizzes presented by the staff (and also via a video-sharing website), along with various musical performances.
Overall I am extremely impressed with Oxford House Nursing Home and am very satisfied that my parents are happy and being well looked after.

After looking at a few places, I settled on Oxford House as it is a smaller home with staff who have been there for many years, not a clinical environment, more of a home from home. Well-managed and approachable staff.

From the day my cousin was relocated to Oxford House Nursing Home, she was treated with absolute care and dignity. She always looks settled and happy.
The staff are amazing and she is treated as one of the family. I have witnessed this as all of my visits are unannounced.
I have no hesitation in
recommending Oxford House to anyone needing to find care for a relative

The staff genuinely care about the health and happiness of their residents, who they treat with dignity and respect.
They offer an excellent healthcare service for both long-term

My mum passed away just recently at Oxford House, having been there for nearly nine years. When the register issued Mum's death certificate, he simply said it is the best care home in the locality - by a mile - he is 100% correct. I saw my mum (my dad was there until he passed away in January 2018)
virtually every day. It is always the perfect model of a care home from the owners through to the manager and to all the staff. There's nothing I would have done differently there.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.712)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.712) out of 10 for Oxford House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.712 for Oxford House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.712
  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 Oxford House Nursing Home is based on 16 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 16 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.

Sairah Harris

Job Title: Deputy Manager/Clinical Lead Joined: 2010

I started Oxford House in 2010 as a Care Assistant, this was my first care role and the reason I went into a career in nursing. I moved out of the area and worked in other care settings but nowhere else had the teamwork, family feel or values quite like we have at Oxford House. After receiving my BSc with Hons in Nursing, I returned as a qualified nurse in 2020 and was supported to undertake a postgraduate course. I returned and was promoted to Lead Nurse in 2023 and Deputy Manager/Clinical Lead in September 2024. I have grown both personally and professionally at Oxford House and am very proud to be part of the team.

Job Title: Chef Joined: 2020

I have been a chef at Oxford House Nursing Home since 2020. I have found the job very challenging at times but very rewarding too. My passion for food, alongside working with people and for people, assisting their different needs made me change my career path and I became a chef about 6 years ago. I love my job as I relish seeing our residents enjoying the food. It's very emotional hearing words such as " the best meal ever", and "that dish was gorgeous". I love the home too. The teamwork is outstanding and it is the best place I have ever worked. There is a family atmosphere that helps you feel appreciated. My goals are always high - to provide an outstanding service to our residents and I always look for opportunities to improve my skills and knowledge.


I love politics and in my free time, I love gardening, reading books and socialising.
