Review from Thomas M (Husband of Resident) published on 30 June 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My wife has now been in the care home for over 2 months and has settled in well thanks to the friendly atmosphere of all the staff. When I visit, all the staff have made the effort to call you by your first name, which is good. Management keep me up to date with my wife's needs and moods which puts
my mind to rest that her needs are being cared for. In the first few weeks, we had a few complaints regarding general cleanliness, this has now been attended to.
Reply from Martin Wild, Customer Relations Manager at Oxford Manor Care Home

Dear Tom, thank you so much for taking the time to submit a review. It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know you and your lovely wife over these months. She continues to recover very well and is going from strength to strength. Thank you again and very best wishes.

From our first visit to Alma Barn, we found the staff, the facilities, and the home to be excellent. My mother has been well cared for and she is enjoying her time here. Keep up the good work.
Reply from Martin Wild, Customer Relations Manager at Oxford Manor Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to submit this lovely review. It's always a pleasure seeing and talking to you when you visit Mum. As I'm sure you're aware Mum and I spend a lot of time talking and laughing together. She's an absolute joy and it's a privilege to be able to provide her with care, support, and friendship. We are delighted that she is happy here at Alma Barn Lodge. Best wishes to all, Martin.

It has been good to be part of the start of this care home. All brand new - delightful decor! Staff are warm, caring and ensure the welfare of the residents is paramount. As a visiting relative, I feel welcomed and am confident that my beloved mum is being well looked after. Catering could be upgraded.
Reply from Martin Wild, Customer Relations Manager at Oxford Manor Care Home

David, thanks so much for taking the time to submit a review. We appreciate your comments, especially the note about catering. Next time you're in I'd love to discuss this and get your feedback to Chef. We are very keen to learn and improve. Mum is an absolute blessing to us all. She makes us laugh every day and it's such a pleasure being able to provide care for her. Warmest wishes, Martin.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When I first walked through the doors of Alma Barn Lodge, I felt not only the people but the building wrapped itself around me - I knew there and then this was the right place for my friend and the family agreed. My dear friend spent her final days being cared for by people that really cared, she loved
her room and the beautiful views.
Reply from Martin Wild, Customer Relations Manager at Oxford Manor Care Home

Thank you so much for your lovely and incredibly touching review. I can't stress how much we love having feedback like this. It was a pleasure and indeed an honour to care for her to the end. Thank you again and much love, Martin.

Review from M R (Son of Resident) published on 15 June 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum went for respite care at Alma Barn but realised very quickly that her quality of life would be greatly improved by becoming a full-time resident. This decision became apparent very quickly, not just because the home is a lovely building but the helpfulness of the staff and the atmosphere you
feel could not be faulted.
Reply from Martin Wild, Customer Relations Manager at Oxford Manor Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to submit a review. We are all delighted that you are happy with the care that Mum is receiving. She has settled really well now and it's lovely talking to her each morning and seeing her smile......it's the perfect start to the day. Thank you again and best wishes to you all.

Review from David H (Son of Resident) published on 9 June 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent care home, lovely people to deal with across the board including customer relations, admin, nursing, and resident care. Looked for a local care home after my mother became unable to live independently through ill health but lived 200 miles away. Alma Barn Lodge Care Home stood out and they
have been a joy to work with and arranged for my mother to move there, where she is very happy. There is a family atmosphere with all the staff knowing the residents by name, knowledgeable about their likes, and having an active interest in their health. The residents are treated with such care, kindness, and dignity. I feel my mother has been looked after to a very high standard. I'm informed when there are any changes to mum's health, and I feel very comfortable talking to the Customer Relations Manager and the nursing staff about any matters at all. They are very active in getting any additional medical attention including district nurses, doctors, and hospital. Brilliant care home, lovely people, happy mum!
Reply from Martin Wild, Customer Relations Manager at Oxford Manor Care Home

Thank you so much for your amazing comments, they really do mean the World to all of us. Your Mum is a lovely lady and it has been a real honour getting to know her since she joined us. I don't think I'll ever forget Mum seeing her room and view across the fields for the first time, smiling and saying "I'm happy now" moments like that are quite simply priceless. Thank you again and warmest wishes, Martin.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.995)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.995) out of 10 for Oxford Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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 4.113 for Oxford Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (9 Poors x 2) + (24 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 212 Ratings = 4.113
  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 4.882 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Oxford Manor Care Home is based on 15 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 + 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 85 registered maximum number of service users is 17. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 17 = 0.882
  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.
