We are very grateful for the care my mother receives at Whythan House. The care home manager is brilliant, always supportive and genuinely caring. She has helped with everything from reassuring my mum when she struggled to sleep in her bed at night to guiding us through the process of securing additional care. My mum's dedicated nurse is exceptional, as are all the nurses and carers. Mum's nurse knows Mum was well and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure Mum is safe, comfortable and well looked after. The care home keeps the family informed. Most importantly, my mum is happy, settled and treated with dignity and respect. As a family that gives us real peace of mind. Thank you for all your care and support.
My relative can not tell us what is happening - but I can see that she feels settled and staff are very warm and caring with her.

My relative can not tell us what is happening - but I can see that she feels settled and staff are very warm and caring with her. There are regular in-home activities and good engagement with residents' relatives (regular relatives' meetings are very useful as are care plan reviews). I will always feel hyper-vigilant and protective of my very vulnerable sister, but her named nurse is remarkable - and addresses any concerns we have swiftly, without being defensive, and it feels like we are on the same team to support my sister. I am also pleased with the sensitive and direct way in which forward planning is considered around potential problems, medical emergencies or future end of life care needs.
Thank you for your thoughtful and heartfelt feedback. We understand how important reassurance, communication and trust are, and we're so pleased to hear that your sister feels settled and cared for by the team.

My sister was in hospital for over 4 months with complex care needs ,she was also diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and began to deteriorate rapidly.

She came to Wytham House at the beginning of October after being in hospital for 3 months and the difference since she has been there is remarkable. The staff are amazing in their approach and I can't praise them enough for the care they give to her. It is good to know she is in a safe and caring environment.

On my first visit to Wytham, I was impressed with the premises, layout, cleanliness and suitability for my husband to walk around freely and safely. The staff are friendly and well trained, with understanding of the needs of dementia sufferers. After 2 1/2 years I am still happy with my husband's care and the way he is made to feel part of the Wytham family. Activities staff are kind and helpful even though my husband is unable to participate in anything.

Wytham House is a lovely setting with kind staff. There've been ups and downs over the time my sister has been there but I've been very impressed by so many of the staff (in a wide range of positions) who've consistently been determined to provide the best quality care they can, sometimes under...
I also value good communication with family members, and myself as her deputy, to ensure we work together to ensure person-centred care for her as an individual. This has been very evident in recent interactions & there's a sense of developing openess: sharing information + consulting promptly & appropriately; understanding the role of LPAs/Deputies; & following through on promises for change. I particularly appreciate the transparency & problem-solving approach that's been developed under new leadership.

Mum spent 3 1/2 years at Wytham House myself and my family were very happy with the staff and how well she was looked after. I used to visit her from the States and everyone was always very accommodating whenever I came over. I left a positive review quite a while ago, sadly Mum passed in December 2024 and I have had time to reflect on things. I have nothing but praise for the way Yvette dealt with the whole situation given that I was back in Florida at the time. We were in constant communication on the day it happened and it was possible for me to talk with Mum. I know they did everything they could to make her comfortable.
I would recommend this home to someone whose family don't want to get caught up in local traffic and parking issues and be in lovely surroundings combined with excellent staff.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review.! We're happy to hear that your mum received such great care during her time at Wytham House and that we were able to provide comfort during a difficult time. I will pass on your kind comments to Yvette and the whole team. We are really sorry for your loss and would like to pass on our sincere condolences to you and your family.
My mother had been a resident of Wytham House for over three years and her care in that time has been amazing and faultless. She really enjoyed the entertainment and activities. Her care at the end of her life was so appropriate and caring. Her care was always discussed with us and the staff always...
I would not hesitate to recommend Wytham House to anyone.
Thank you for your kind words and recognition of the team at Wytham House. We are really sorry for your loss and we hope we made your mother’s last weeks as peaceful as possible and helped the family as much as we could. Your comments will be passed on to the team.

As a family we feel very lucky to have chosen Wytham House for my father, who is blind and also has dementia. The staff are extremely caring, and clearly make a great effort to treat residents with respect and make them feel at home.

My wife was content during her brief stay in Wytham House. The staff were patient, caring and friendly. The facilities were clean and tidy. The activities staff worked hard to ensure the residents were stimulated.

Sadly, my Aunt has just died after 5 years at Wytham House. Five years ago we rescued her from a horrible home where social services had put her, and could not be happier with our choice, which gave her a lively and caring environment to spend her last few years. We were so happy that she was able to stay there until she died gently and naturally.
Thank you, Nicholas for taking the time to leave us a review at this difficult time and for your kind words and recognition of the team at Wytham House. We are really sorry for your loss, your comments will be passed on to the team.

The home has had some serious issues and has at times failed residents and relatives - but now things are looking very good. I am very impressed with the manager, deputy, reception, kitchen staff and activities staff. There are some incredible nurses and carers but unfortunately, there are care staff who do their job but do not connect with the residents - perhaps not having dementia training?
