My mother was here 9 years ago and now a friend is with you on my strong recommendation! Staff are amazing and gentle, willing and helpful, seem really to have a genuine relationship with residents, whatever their state. I knew them individually. The staff treat patients as their own relatives.

Thank you, Michael, for your feedback following your recent experience at our home. We are happy to learn it has been a positive one. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know how we are doing. Have a wonderful day.
In my opinion, the staff especially the lady in charge of the activities goes over and above her job description. They treat all residents with the dignity for which they deserve, trying to make their stay as comfortable as if in their own homes.

The way I was looked after at every visit and relatives that come from Worcester was much appreciated. Also, his final days and hours, how thoughtful and compassionate everyone was. Excellent care.

All the staff are caring, attentive, helpful and the communication is excellent. My wife was in the home for eight years and was treated with respect and dignity by all the staff. The whole place has a calm, loving and caring atmosphere which I could not fault

Over a period of six years I have experienced the provision of 3 care homes for my parents. It is only Headington Care Home that I would wish to praise. Leadership (or a good manager) is key to setting standards, attitudes and values in the staffing. The leadership here shows commitment, passion and joy and inspires many of the younger staff to further their training. I have witnessed the genuine time and compassion given to those in her care and her welcoming positive approach to their relatives. Headington Care Home will be highly recommended by my family.
The staff looked after my cousin for many years in a safe environment. Especially throughout his last days he was treated with dignity. His children and the rest of the family were allowed the time and space to spend quality time with him. The staff we were in regular contact with were...
The staff looked after my cousin for many years in a safe environment. Especially throughout his last days he was treated with dignity. His children and the rest of the family were allowed the time and space to spend quality time with him. The staff we were in regular contact with were exceptional, including the coordinator, the staff nurse and another staff member for her support and understanding.

The carers at The Headington Care Home always go the extra mile and it is obvious that they really do care for and understand the needs of all the residents. My father had been in a number of homes before arriving at The Headington Care Home and it is such a relief to know that he is well cared for in a clean and welcoming environment, where the staff are always cheerful and attentive.

My father was admitted to the Headington Care Home after his behaviour deteriorated. At his previous establishments he had been heavily sedated and was listless and unable to communicate. Since he has been at Headington his life has been transformed - though still very ill with advanced dementia he is animated, laughs and smiles and is demonstrably happy. This is due almost entirely to the quality of care he has received which has been nothing short of exceptional in every respect.
