Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What a revelation to myself and siblings. We have tried two residential homes prior to The Old Prebendal, and they both let our mother down badly in terms of not living up to promises made in the glossy brochures. We feel we have finally hit the jackpot in terms of an amazingly beautiful place, which
feels more like a 5 star retreat than a residential home. The care levels are excellent, the residents are all well matched and there is none of the shouting and aggression from previous dementia care homes. It is a gentle, kind and well thought out place, that runs like clockwork under the guidance of an excellent Home Manager. All make it appear a seamless and effortless experience, but we all appreciate the hard work and organisation that goes into making it appear so. My mother is a kind and gentle soul, and we now feel we have found her a place that matches those qualities. It is an amazing place, with good facilities, and the correct staffing levels and knowledge. 10/10 from us.

My mother stayed with Prebendal for two weeks respite care and whilst it was an anxious thing for my family,as it was the first time my mother had stayed away from her home in many years, it was a very comfortable and welcoming place to spend two weeks. My mother was very well cared for and the residents
were charming too. Old Prebendal has a lovely atmosphere, all the staff are very pleasant and caring and it feels like more like a hotel than a care home.

This is a lovely care home. It doesn't matter what time I turn up, I'm always made to feel very welcome. The home is very comfortable and the grounds are beautiful. The staff, without exception, are warm, friendly and caring. They all have patience in shedloads! They often need it when dealing with

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum and Dad recently moved into The Old Prebendal House and it was clear from our first visit that it's a place of genuine warmth, compassion, and comfort. The pre-assessment process was impressively thorough, giving our family complete confidence in the transition. It was clear that every effort
was made to understand not just the medical needs of my parents, but also their personalities, preferences, and routines. What stood out most was how welcoming everyone was - not just to my parents, but to the whole family, including the great-grandchildren. We were all made to feel at home, whether stopping by for a visit or sitting down together for a delicious lunch. A special mention must go to the manager, whose professionalism, experience, and leadership shine through in every aspect of the home and set the tone for the entire team. Having visited many care homes in search of the right one, we are incredibly grateful to have found such a special place for Mum and Dad.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 87-year-old mother with advanced dementia has recently moved into the Old Prebendal after a 2-month stint in a London hospital where her condition deteriorated so badly she was given 6 weeks to live. My brother and I chose to place her in the care of the wonderful team here, in our minds to ensure
a managed and peaceful death, so hopeless we felt of her condition.
This beautiful, peaceful sanctuary with its excellent team has been a lifeline quite literally for our mum and us. Mum has been transformed physically under the care and compassion of everyone involved in her care. From being completely bed-bound, unable to eat and the indignity of double incontinence she has been slowly, carefully and patiently encouraged to accept the personal care needed to maintain hygiene, health and dignity and to accept with gentle encouragement the physio needed to get her back in her feet. The fantastic food offering has her eating so well she gained half a stone in 4 weeks. Highly recommend.

It has been our absolute pleasure to see your Mother's improvement, she is such a delight to care. As a family, your dedication to her has also played a huge part in her recovery and we love having you around. Thank you so much for your kind words, we really appreciate it.

We took a lot of trouble to find the best nursing home for our cousin, to spend his last few months. Sadly, as it transpired he didn't survive long enough to enjoy all that was on offer to residents. All the staff were very caring and helped him during his last days. We too, were grateful for their
sensitivity and support.

Thank you so much for your kind words, we are sorry that your cousin was only with us for a short time but were happy to help him in his final days. It is always heartwarming to see family supporting loved ones in their time of need. Thank you on behalf of the team at Old Prebendal.

Old Prebendal House has been a great place for my dad. They have great balance between letting him be independent with the things he can still do, while keeping him safe by recognising when he needs support. The food is excellent. Dad was only able to eat puréed food at home, but now enjoys 3 good normal
meals a day. We have even been able to arrange family gatherings at the house for Christmas and Birthday celebrations with a stroll in the surrounding grounds.

I had a wonderful room with a kitchen and lounge area that then led to a good-sized bedroom with an ensuite shower and bathroom area. The towels were changed every day. I had most meals in my room, but I did go down to lunch with the other residents who were all very friendly and welcoming. The staff
were are excellent, nothing was too much trouble, they helped wash me and dress me and told me to ring my bell anytime I needed them. We could have wine with our meals, lunch and tea time, white red or rose.
Great place to stay to get over a very big operation on my right shoulder. I was so much stronger after my stay there. I was able to come home and be looked after by my family.
All the staff were excellent including the handyman.
We also had bingo raffles and a sing-a-long with one of the members of staff so all in all a very pleasant experience.
A big thank you to everyone there and for making my stay such a good time.
Thanks again.

My husband and I recently spent sixteen days at The Old Prebendal House care home, Ascot-under-Wychwood, while my husband was recuperating from a replacement hip operation. He recovered rapidly mainly because of the professionalism, care, attention, kindness and friendliness of all the staff. The beauty

The Old Prebendal House has been my mother's home for over five years and it felt like a home rather than a care home. Throughout this time, she has been treated with the utmost care, love and compassion. As she became frailer, we were included in the Old Prebendal family and realised just what a special
place this is. Nothing was too much trouble and it was an absolute privilege to watch these wonderful carers in action. They were so gentle and patient and knew just what was needed without being asked. Thank you so much for caring for Mum and the family with such kindness.

Wonderful care for my mother, in her final weeks. She was treated with compassion and dignity and the staff are genuinely caring and attentive with qualified nursing staff on hand day and night. Nothing was too much trouble for them. When we visited, we were always welcomed with open arms and made to
feel at home. After a difficult few months and a brief disastrous experience at another nursing home, my mother finally found a home where she could relax in comfort, confident that all the care she needed was on-hand. Her room was fresh, bright and beautifully decorated and furnished with a modern clean bathroom. The home is housed in a historic and characterful Cotswold stone building in a quiet traditional Cotswold village. It has a homely rather than institutional feel and is surrounded by delightful, well-tended gardens with fountains, benches and terraces for residents to enjoy. We couldn't recommend The Old Prebendal House and its staff more highly.

I am the daughter of a current resident. My family and I have been bowled over by the wonderful quality of care, both physical and emotional that has been provided by the exceptional staff at Prebendal. My Mum arrived at the Home particularly ill, infirm and in pain and everyone immediately had her
best interests at heart and did their utmost to keep her happy, clean and comfortable. Caring and nursing is a really tough job and these people join as one happy professional team to provide a peaceful, clean, safe, homely environment and the very best for their residents. They really do all care and this is demonstrated daily. Caring cannot be taught, it is from within and the consistently helpful Management have chosen their team well. The environment is truly stunning and I’m hoping that now my Mum is hopefully on the mend she will be able to enjoy the beautifully kept gardens and communal areas more often. It is always such a pleasure to visit her, we are made so welcome.

I would like to write this review after being welcomed into this care home for 2 days of training with staff and the Director of Care. I was given breakfast and lunch and as a travelling trainer, I visit a large amount of care homes up and down the country. I have never in all my years of experience
been to such a clean and welcoming establishment. Every single member of staff, regardless of their job role, is totally committed to giving 110% of their knowledge, emotions and skill to each and every resident and visitor alike. The building itself is kept to what I can only describe as a 5-star standard, impeccable. The catering and hospitality staff are so skilled in their roles. Honestly, the food was like eating in a restaurant. I would have paid good money to eat the food in any hotel or eatery it was absolutely beautiful. I think the highest compliment I can give is that I would happily and very confidently recommend my own mother lives in this home, when the time comes.

The Old Prebendal is the second care home my father has lived in. He is a Type 1 diabetic, in his 80's and suffering from dementia. The previous home was unable to manage his diabetic needs and he had to leave after being admitted to hospital, as a result. His medical needs are very very complex and
the Old Prebendal have and are managing them exceptionally well. Further to this, they provide such a stimulating and wonderful environment which gives me so much comfort and reassurance as to his wellbeing, both physical and emotional. I can say he is genuinely happy to be there. The activities are always so varied and plentiful and if it is not a drinks reception outside, BBQ or hosting part a regional Art Week, there will be something else fun and original. They clearly have a genuine respect for their residents and are always welcoming and professional when myself and my young family visit. I can not think of a better place for my father to be!

This refurbished, beautiful old converted Monastery set in stunning grounds is an
exceptionally atmospheric Care Home and my Mother regards it as “her home” and is extremely happy to be living there. The dedicated staff are always polite, courteous and work hard to maintain high standards of personalised
care. There is a comprehensive communication policy set in place to ensure a dialogue between the caregivers and relatives. This builds confidence and trust in the knowledge that any issues that arise are acknowledged and hopefully acted upon. Such is my satisfaction, I would not want my Mother to be anywhere else.

(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 12 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.
