Oxford House Nursing Home

My father lived at Oxford House for 18 months and the care he received was excellent. There are many lovely carers/staff members at Oxford House, none from an agency, and many who have worked at Oxford House for years. Oxford House is very well run by the management, who are approachable, caring and constantly striving for the highest standards in everything they do. One of the best things about Oxford House is that it isn't too big, therefore the staff are able to create a very homely, personalised service and they will do everything they can to ensure residents are happy. My father had many medical problems and could do very little for himself, and the staff met his needs very well. They were particularly outstanding during the last week of his life, when everyone did everything they could to ensure he was as comfortable as possible, and I was just so grateful that he was able to spend his last days at Oxford House where the staff had time to look after him properly (and not in the local, overstretched hospital).

I visited my mother in law recently and was extremely happy with the care that she is receiving at Oxford House. The Management and staff go that extra mile to make sure that the home is very welcoming and that the residents not only receive the care needed but they live life to the fullest of their capability. The whole structure at Oxford House, from daily routines to special events organised by the home, is excellent.

Credit for the high standards at Oxford House recent go to the excellent manager who can be relied on to deal with any problems that arise. Oxford House is a very good example as to how a nursing home should be run.

They looked after my Mum excellently, I couldn't be more pleased with everything they did and always with a smile.

The owners welcome everyone with an open heart.

The management are very nice. The nursing staff are lovely. The carers are very good. I enjoy joining in with the activities. I can't say a bad word about anyone here.

The home has everything I need. I feel very well cared for. I enjoy flower arranging and painting at the home.

The staff spoil me here. Very willing to help.

I have everything in my room that I need. It has become home from home. I chose the colour for my room, it was my choice and it was done quickly. I feel very lucky.

I have been here for five years. When I first came the staff and surroundings were lovely. A lot of the staff are still here and the place gets better and better. I feel really at home here. The management is excellent, friendly and approachable.

They always make a big fuss of the residents on special occasions for example at Christmas, Birthdays and Mothers Day.

My Dad is alone in the home since my Mother died in May - Oxford House has been entirely sympathetic to both parents. My Mum was nursed very well and my Dad is fed well, tended daily in personal care, dress and encouraged to treat Oxford House as his home with plenty for him to enjoy. It is not regimented but all the staff take part in whatever needs doing. All the staff are well suited and the management is entirely accessible and friendly.

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.

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.

Friendly staff. Happy not to be on own and making new friends.

Very friendly staff. Everyone is very helpful. Food is good.

Overall excellent care home. Family member well taken care of.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Oxford House to anyone who was looking for full time care for their loved one.
