Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father went to A&E at the J.R. hospital in Oxford. Wytham House staff liaised with the hospital to get him back and make him comfortable.
He was stressed and unhappy at A&E - he was so happy to be back at Wytham House, he sees it as his home and is very happy there.
Thank you all so much.

Review from Diane C (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 March 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am extremely happy with the care my Mother receives at Wytham House. Mum is in her 90s with memory problems. When I cared for her she could be very aggressive. At Wytham, the aggression has largely disappeared and traces of my Mother's normally pleasant personality have surfaced. Mum seems happy
and tells me she enjoys life. The building is extremely well designed, in an attractive setting and the rooms are lovely. The staff treat my Mother with dignity and kindness. The staff check on Mum frequently. They manage to keep Mum and her room clean, which as she is doubly incontinent, is not easy. I find the nursing and housekeeping staff to be caring and efficient and very responsive to any requests. My Mother enjoys the food and mealtimes are a highlight of her day. The new Director who arrived at the end of last year has worked very hard to ensure the care at Wytham is up to the high standard that was promised. I believe she is succeeding.

Review from Lisa L (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We placed my mother here for a 2 weeks respite stay. The staff were very friendly and eager to help, my mother's behaviour was not easy to manage but they did their best and only called me a couple of times to report problems. They appropriately requested the local GP to review her twice. The accommodation
is very new, smart, easy to navigate, smells pleasant and the atmosphere is mostly calm. Outdoor access limited in winter, I think will be much nicer in summer and when footpaths completed.

We build our care team to ensure they are able to provide person-centred care and spend valuable time with our residents.

We always welcome the opportunity to improve and hope you will continue to share your thoughts with us in the home.

My mother moved to Wytham House in August. My family have been very pleased with the care she is receiving. Her new room is beautiful and she enjoys the space and the lovely gardens. The staff are excellent and very welcoming to visitors. There is always a cup of tea on offer! It is a great relief to
me to know that my mother who is 91 is being really well looked after.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.684)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.684) out of 10 for Wytham House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 5 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 4.559 for Wytham House is calculated as follows: ( (35 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.559
  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 4.125 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wytham House is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.625
  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.

“As a dedicated home manager, I’m committed to creating a supportive and positive environment for both the team and residents, where compassion, respect, and dignity are at the heart of everything we do.


I have 11 years of nursing experience and 4 years as a deputy manager within a care home, during which I developed strong leadership and operational skills.
