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.

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.
Excellent all-round care home. Mum was in for two weeks respite and everyone made her feel welcome and very comfortable. All staff were friendly and kind and made her stay happy and comfortable. The food was lovely too!

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!

Thank you for taking the time to review our home. We take your feedback seriously - our management team are saddened to read your review as they were not aware of this and could have helped at the time if they had been alerted. The manager's door is always open for you and welcomes any feedback about your loved one's experience at the home too. Best wishes, Fae
The staff are very friendly and professional. The food is satisfactory. The care is very good, albeit sometimes slow to react. Overall, a very nice clean place and well-run.

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.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home and for your kind words - it's wonderful to hear how happy your mum is with us at Iffley, it is really appreciated by our team. Best wishes, Fae
We, as a family, have been happy with the way our mother has been looked after. The staff have been really nice and we all feel that Mum is in safe and very capable hands.

My aunt is well cared for and really loves the staff. She can not speak highly enough of them. The home is well presented and the staff I have had the pleasure of meeting are lovely, and genuinely care for the residents.

I grew up in Nepal, and I am a Nurse. I am passionate about providing compassionate care and supporting others. I value Kindness and empathy.
Outside of work, I love being in nature, and I love animals, especially my cat.

I love working here at Iffley, the people are lovely and friendly and the setting is so pretty!
My job is very varied which keeps it interesting. One of my favourite parts of the job is chatting to the residents and putting a smile on their faces.

I joined Iffley Care Home in April 2022, While I have been a Chef for many years this is my first role within a care home setting. I have enjoyed getting to know the residents through daily interactions, they come with a wealth of life experience and are keen to discuss the menu around their likes and dislikes.

I came to work here just over 5 years ago having never worked in care. It is a role that is very rewarding and I discovered that I really enjoy working with the residents and being in a care home environment.
My current role gives me the chance to interact with all the residents living in the home on a daily basis and make sure that their rooms are clean and homely.
