Located in the pretty village of Iffley, the care home has beautiful large gardens in a very tranquil and peaceful setting.

Not only do the team provide residential, dementia, nursing and palliative care, they also provide respite care, which can be booked in advance. This is ideal if you are caring for a relative at home and would like to take a break, with the peace of mind of knowing the team are providing care and companionship.

There are so many places in the home for residents to relax with loved ones, who are welcome at any time. There is a cinema room for movie afternoons, welcoming lounges and dining rooms, where residents enjoy delicious home-cooked meals, with everything from roast dinners with all the trimmings to fish and chip Fridays. And there is always home-baking for afternoon tea and lighter bites for those with a smaller appetite.

There is a beautiful large garden and two smaller courtyard gardens, which have wheelchair friendly pathways and raised beds, for those who enjoy a spot of gardening. All of the bedrooms, which are spacious and ensuite, on the ground floor have patio doors leading to the gardens.

Iffley also has a hair and beauty salon for appointments with a mobile hairdresser and a spot of pampering. The team has also created a bar area, where the residents enjoy quizzes with their favourite tipple!

There is plenty to do at Iffley, from gentle exercise to arts and crafts. The team are also passionate about keeping residents connected to the community outside the home, so organise trips out in the home’s minibus.

Mum has been at Iffley sanctuary since 2018. She was a resident on the ground floor for the first three years and made friends, and there was an amazing continuity with the staff. Since Covid, Mum has moved to the first floor. She is very well looked after, but staff continuity is not so good; NHS needs
to look after them better. Office and admin are always excellent and always reply to emails quickly. Very good care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care my sister receives at the care home is excellent. She very soon settled into her bedroom and responded to the kindness and consideration shown to her. Particularly the patience required in dealing with her moods and needs. Added to this, the food is excellent and the laundry service is regular
and of a high standard. The management is helpful and well organised - always ready to assist. I have ample opportunities made to visit. The residents have outings in their minibus and enjoy tea and cakes at their venues. I compliment all staff throughout the home for their kindness, courtesy and patience. Also for how well organised and smoothly run everything is. Well done and thank you.

We have been very pleased with the care offered to our mother over the past 7 months on the ground floor. She has enjoyed the food and her ground floor room looking out at the garden and the carers are normally very kind. When she was recently unwell, they responded to her increased needs and have been
very quick to discuss any concerns we might have over her care and health needs.

Sadly I witnessed a resident wait fifty minutes from telling an agency nurse that he wanted to go to the toilet to someone doing something about it. The (presumably senior) agency nurse did have time to do something and went downstairs though! At 12:30, no lunch menus, no lunch!

Where to begin...
The staff are amazing, we are always greeted with a smile, and the carers are second to none. Mum feels at home at Iffley, everyone is treated with real love and dignity, and even when I take my dad to visit Mum, the staff really looked after him and me. We know that Mum won't be
here forever, but the staff make sure her last days are full of fun and love.

My mum has been very well cared for at Iffley, and most importantly she's been very happy there. The facilities are great, the food is excellent, and they took great pains to welcome her and make sure her room felt like "home" when she moved in. The staff are unfailingly kind and cheerful, and have
managed her decline with respect and professionalism; I've been so impressed with how they have managed this very difficult year. Overall this is a very happy, excellently run home, and we couldn't have wished for a better place for mum to spend her final years.

My mother has been resident at the care home for almost 5 years. She is happy there and I am currently able to visit her once a week, though I'm not sure she appreciates the screen and it does make it even harder for her to hear what I am saying. The staff are always very kind to her and helpful to
me.

The Iffley Residential and Nursing Home staff have done an outstanding job over the last year, in very challenging circumstances. My mother has been kept safe and well and has been cared for with patience, sensitivity and compassion. It has been a difficult time for everyone, and our family is enormously
grateful that my mother is so well looked after, and that she is so content to be a resident in this fine and generous community.

Review from Wendy G (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My view of care homes was turned on its head by my experience of helping my dad move here into residential care.
Excellent doesn't even come close to the care he received from the entire team, which works in a joined-up sensitive, thoughtful way with all residents who are given the utmost respect as
individuals. The same courtesy and kindness are extended to all family members. Dad was made to feel that he was a valued member of the community, and I felt the same. We were all held in a professional, secure embrace by a shining example of resident-centred care.
There is no doubt in my mind that facilitating dad's move here was one of the best things I ever did for him. Sadly, he died recently, but each of those very special staff will hold a permanent place in my heart.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.245)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.245) out of 10 for Iffley Residential and Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 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 14 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 4.324 for Iffley Residential and Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (125 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.324
  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 4.921 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Iffley Residential and Nursing Home is based on 14 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 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.921
  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.
