St Oswald's House

My dad Dennis has been in St Oswald's since 15/8/25. From the first day it felt like home from home and has continued to do so. I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff and the welcome myself and my family receive. My dad originally went for respite following the death of my mum but loves it so much his stay became permanent. He has never asked to return home. He loves the company and activities and is looking forward to the gardening club. An amazing home.

My mother has been cared for well. Carers/nursing staff are friendly and attentive. Although she is confined to bed she is kept comfortable and clean and staff visit regularly and check her. Activities are on offer every day and she encouraged to take part. Food is varied and well prepared although she eats very little. Staff ensure she is well hydrated and safe.

Excellent care home, fantastic staff very caring always putting Betty's best interests first, couldn't ask for better care.

Mum took a while to settle in after coming from a care home which could no longer meet her needs. Mum is much more happier now. The staff are all very friendly and helpful with any queries I may have.

From making contact to view St Oswald's House right through to the care received, I can't fault the staff, they were warm, welcoming, professional and compassionate. The home is exceptionally clean and the food smelt wonderful, the Christmas dinner lunch menu was amazing. I felt at ease knowing my family member would receive the best care and we were welcomed to visit any time of the day/night. The care provided was exceptional and they were treated with dignity and respect at all times. Would highly recommend St Oswald's.

My experience is St Oswalds highly recommended in every department. Cannot fault the staff, they are outstanding.

My elderly extended family member was in here and her care was excellent. Nurses and carers went above to make her stay there as comfortable and dignified especially towards her end of life. I would highly recommend this home for any person who needs care. I was always made welcome and the care team were really friendly and offered refreshments if needed. I was also allowed to take my grandchildren in who were also made welcome

My mother went into St Oswald's House on 22nd December until her passing on 18th January 2025. We are both so pleased with the great care and dignity she was shown. All the staff are a credit.

I would like to let everyone know what a wonderful care and fantastic service my Mum received in her last few months at St Oswald's. These people go way above and beyond in their levels of care and professionalism and gave my mum some much-needed joy in her last few months. Thank you to all the team you are amazing, ven coming to her funeral to pay your respects. We as a family really want to put on record our gratitude and thanks.

I have made some lovely friends in here, including the staff and residents. St Oswalds has changed my life for the better.

My mum went into this home for respite for 2 weeks, they really looked after her, she was taken out of her room by the care staff to go to the lounge to play bingo and dominoes, and she also had some lovely meals. They showered her and kept her clean throughout her stay. I will definitely be putting her in this care home again for respite care.

She enjoys the wide range of food on offer, always complimenting the chef. She loves all the office staff and carers and her words I can't fault anything, I love it here.

The staff and service was exemplary. So friendly, professional and yet like a home from home. The room was stunning and comfortable. I highly recommend St Oswald's House, and suggest you go and see for yourself. My mum went in for respite after my father passed in August 2023. Thank you Home Manager and all staff... amazing!

The meals were nice.

On visiting my friend, I was so pleased to find tight security people - cannot just enter. No unpleasant smell, as I have experienced in other homes. So easy to walk around the beautifully decorated building and outside space. Even though my friend is in a motorised wheelchair. All the staff, including the maintenance man, was helpful and very friendly.

From the moment we came in, I was highly impressed with the home. The staff have been phenomenal with both Mum and myself. The home is very clean, well-staffed and well-equipped. Thank you so much.

I cannot recommend St Oswald's enough. Since my family member has stayed here, they have always been looked after to a very high standard, the staff are always friendly and helpful, there are lots of activities on offer, the food is great, and the overall home itself is lovely! Couldn’t be happier with our experience here; the quality of care is amazing.

My mum was admitted to St Oswald's Care Home nearly two years ago straight from the hospital; she, unfortunately, is now bedridden. Since her admittance to St Oswald's, my mum has become stable; she is well looked after by the care and nursing staff, which had not been achieved in the hospital environment. Mum does not get involved in activities in the home, but she does like to use the hairdresser; she also likes the visits to her room by staff, which are constant, sometimes to talk or just to have her nails done. There are many activities organised for the residents, eg, visits from local colleges and schools, gospel singers and more, and relatives are also included if they so wish. St Oswald's Care home also has lovely, well-maintained gardens. Again I would like to say that all the staff, from the carers, the kitchen staff, the nursing staff, caretakers, admin staff and the manager, are all very caring staff and make the home and its environment what it is, excellent.

The staff at St Oswald's provided amazing care to my grandad. They were always friendly and welcoming to everyone. I felt like they went above and beyond to ensure my grandad was well looked after and comfortable. The home was clean and tidy throughout. I thoroughly recommend this care home.

Always made welcome when we call. Mum is comfortable in her room. At present, she doesn't like to join in activities. The room is looking a little shabby, si an upgrade would be welcome. The food sometimes doesn't suit Mum, but in general, is ok, and changes are starting to be addressed. The carpet needs refreshing.
