No bad words to say about Oxford house; with me being in a medical profession, I would say my dad has been looked after so well as a family member. Lovely place that I chose for my dad. Multicultural staff, I salute them, how professional they are and dedicated. I would highly recommend Oxford House
Nursing Home. Many thanks to the management team and staff. Thanks.

Dad was taken to Oxford House following a stay in the hospital. The staff have all been very kind and attentive, giving him one-to-one care that he needed a lot of the time. He has enjoyed all the activities, especially the air and seated exercises. He has a good appetite and enjoyed the meals provided.

My mother was admitted from the hospital as she could not be sent home due to her condition and issues. On the day that she was admitted, she was settled into her room with care and friendliness. I was kept up to date as to the progress of her admittance at all times. As she had not had lunch, the chef
came to her room to see what she would like, which I felt was great service and care. All of the staff are friendly and caring, and the management team are excellent. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I live some distance away from Oxford House and only have contact by telephone, video link and photos. Staff are always friendly, informative and reassuring on the phone. In photos my sister looks happy, clean and well dressed, as do other residents.
I can see on photos that a variety of activities
are available for those who wish to participate.
Party and celebration food always looks brilliant with good variety and choices. I'm sure the everyday catering is of an equally high standard.,
I feel happy that my sister is receiving exceptionally good, professional, care.
The staff seem to go over and above, in ensuring that Oxford House is a well run, happy home.

Oxford House is run by an excellent manager and her team. The consistency of love and care my husband receives has taken away most of my worries. Nothing is too much trouble; even the "all-rounder" gardener makes tea during visits. My observation is all who work there are dedicated to the job and have
worked there for many years. I'll book a room when my time comes. The one with doors opening to a beautiful tranquil garden.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been a resident at Oxford House Nursing Home since 2013 and I have always felt that she receives the best care possible. The staff are so friendly and helpful and they make Oxford House Nursing Home really feel homely for the residents. The staff always celebrate special events with the residents
and arrange to take them out whenever possible. The food is of a high standard and they cater for all needs. The Manager and Deputy Managers are brilliant at what they do and are so approachable and friendly. My mum is and always has been very happy living at Oxford House Nursing Home. In my opinion, no nursing home even comes close to Oxford House, my family and I can rest assured that my mum is being well looked after.

Review from Jacqueline H (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 June 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff always keep me abreast of mum’s condition and medications, if she falls sick, has antibiotics or a flu shot. They are very kind and mindful of her needs even though she is not the easiest person to look after. They provide her with care and friendship when my brother and I are not there as
we are still working full time. The staff always let me know what mum needs so I can bring it in on my next visit. Even though she can be difficult at times due to her dementia, she seems to respond well to the staff on the whole and sees them as friends rather than enemies. She is always commenting on the nice ‘girls’ that work there. The only downside I have is communication has broken down a little in the past on the odd occasion. Keep up the good work! I love seeing the posts on social media and how you dress up the home/provide special meals/entertainment for all occasions. If I ever need this kind of service, I would hope I am somewhere as great as Oxford House Nursing Home.

Review from NIck F (Son of Resident) published on 30 May 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father had a troublesome transition into full-time care in June 2020 at the height of the Covid-19 lockdowns. Initially placed into another care home for his own protection; he struggled to come to terms with the sudden loss of his independence at the advanced age of 89. I had him re-located to Oxford
House in 2021, and since then, his mental well-being and quality of life have improved immensely. I am now glad to report that he is happy and settled. He places credit firmly at the feet of the amazing staff at Oxford House for this incredible turnaround, as do I. They are a pleasure to deal with, always helpful and accommodating, even with Covid restrictions in place. Every request and enquiry has been met with a "can-do" attitude, which is a credit to the profession. A very special thanks must go to the activities coordinator, who Dad describes as "his rock", being there for him at a very challenging and lonely time during the Pandemic. 1000 times, thank you.

Best place to call home for my mum. Very caring staff. Approachable to speak to. Never have been worried about the care they give mum from medication to food. Best care home. Put it this way if I have to go to a care home when I get older. This is the place I want to be. I know I will be happy there.

Was very apprehensive about Dad going into a home. Oxford House staff are brilliant. They look after Dad, taking care of all his needs, and we couldn't be happier. We felt incompetent trying to look after him and so unsure if we were doing things right. Oxford House are like the experts, and we know
all his needs are met and that he is safe. Thank you, Oxford House.

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.
