Review from Elaine B (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 October 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
All staff are welcoming and friendly not just to the residents but also to the family visiting. Staff are thorough in the care given and automatically report any concerns to the nurse on duty. Activities, the staff work hard to mentally stimulate residents and have a very good rapport and provide friendly
banter. Staff also report to the relatives but also write up reports on a regular daily basis.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad has been in the Oxford House Nursing Home "family" for over four years. I live in the USA but am always confident that he is in the best possible hands. When I can speak to the same dedicated staff day after day it is beyond reassuring. I cannot say enough positive things about Oxford House Nursing
Home and their team of wonderful carers.

Review from Janet E (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 October 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My first connection with Oxford House was when my grandmother was a resident in the 1990's. At that time our family was delighted with the care that she received. More recently my mother spent 2 weeks in Oxford House when her home was in danger of flooding. The response from staff when I contacted them
was very quick and so very caring.
When my mother decided that it was necessary for her to have care that we could not provide at home she was very anxious that she should move into Oxford House. When I contacted the manager the response was very quick and in no time at all my mother was happily settled in the nursing home. My mother is so happy and feels cared for and listened to. I am 100% happy with the care and love that she is receiving. I find the staff caring and responsive to my mother's needs and wants. Their communication is excellent and I have the utmost confidence in them.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Oxford House to anyone who was looking for full time care for their loved one.

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.
