Offer tailored holidays designed around an individual's hobbies and interests, including a wide variety of therapies & activities. These can be booked ahead to allow carers to plan their own breaks.

The home's expertise in palliative care was recognised by Oxfordshire PCT when they piloted a Rapid Response service to cut down hospital admissions for patients on the End of Life pathway, and alleviate stress for patients and their families.

Since first opening in 1985, they have striven to provide the best possible nursing care for each individual resident, within a home-like, family environment. This impressive manor house dates from 1680, and is set in rural surroundings with a stream flowing through three acres of mature and level gardens.

Review from Trevor N (Son of Resident) published on 18 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I found the home to be very nice. The grounds are lovely in the Spring and Summer with lots of wildlife. The home itself is nice and clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Meals are good and they are happy to change the menu if they can. The decoration of the home is very good with various
different themes.

The staff and management are always friendly and available to answer any questions or concerns you may have about your relative, and also any issues or concerns are dealt with dignity and care. It is a beautiful home, with a very well tended large garden in a very nice area of Oxfordshire.
Reply from Denisa Ciobanu, Registered Manager at Fewcott House Nursing Home

Thank you very much for the positive feedback. It is a pleasure to have your mum with us and she is greatly loved here.

Review from J P (Husband of Resident) published on 2 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My wife was diagnosed as having Alzheimer's in 2011 and has regressed considerably since that date. She suffered a fall in May this year and was taken by ambulance to hospital. The social services team there allocated her to Fewcott House once it was confirmed that no bones were broken as she does require
assistance with normal functions. The staff at Fewcott House do attend to their work with compassion and assiduously. Some of the residents suffer from old manifestations of dementia but all are treated as if part of a family with care and very little recrimination.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.798)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.798) out of 10 for Fewcott House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.798 for Fewcott House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (107 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.798
  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 Fewcott House Nursing Home is based on 11 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 11 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.

WELL DONE US!!


Not only are we still enjoying being classed as outstanding according to our CQC Report, and are delighted to stay COVID free during this heartbreaking pandemic, but we also have some further exciting news to share with you.


Fewcott House have been accredited with the Gold Standards Framework Award. The aim of the Gold Standards Framework Award is to enable a ‘gold standard’ of care to help people live well before they die, and to die well in the place and the manner of their choosing.

As a thank you to all our staff and to celebrate with our residents, this week we have enjoyed eating fish and chips out of the paper from the local van, like the good old days and have had the ice-cream man visit weekly to keep us all cool in this somewhat unpredictable weather!


Well done everybody, teamwork makes the dream work and we look forward to welcoming everybody to celebrate with us when it’s safe to do so.
