Over all time Bupa Witney Care Home has 67 reviews.
My mum was a resident in the care home after having many falls in her independent living apartment on the same site. I had to make the decision to put her in the home. I was worried about doing this but in retrospect shouldn't have been. The nursing staff and the carers, in fact the whole team from the top down were superb. I had help and reassurance from everyone. In many ways it felt like a family and when mum sadly passed away, on top of her loss, I felt a sense of loss for all the wonderful people there.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review, the team and I are glad that we were able to support and help Mum live her best life as a resident at Witney. Also good to see you were supported as a family.
Kind Regards,Martin
My mum came to Richmond Village initially in an assisted living apartment, in October 2024. All the staff were very friendly and the domiciliary staff were very helpful which helped mum settle in. Unfortunately mum deteriorated quite quickly she had to go to the care floor, in December 2024, but mum again, settled in well and all the staff and carers were very friendly and helpful. I am fully informed about how mum is by email or a phone call if something unexpected happens. The activities team work hard to engage the residents in activities, be it singing, painting, throwing balls or gardening. Mum is very happy here and her friends who visit occasionally have remarked what a nice care home it is, and that it feels more like a hotel. I can visit at any time which fits in with my work and we often go downstairs or outside, weather permitting, for a coffee and a chat. The opportunity for mum to have her nails painted and hair coloured and cut is a nice treat.
Kind Regards,
Martin
All staff been very friendly and helpful with advice that has been very helpful. Only found shower water pressure too strong but am 85. Nice meadowland walk to use, could even use for a holiday.
Kind Regards,
Martin
Mum has been on the care floor at Witney since January 2024; she had moved into the village as an independent lady in 2015 during the building phase and then to assisted living 8 years later. Throughout her journey at Richmond Village Witney she has experienced nothing but genuine care and help. All the staff have been exemplary from the team helping to buy and sell her various properties, the dom care team on assisted living and all the care staff on Mulberry. They take everything in their stride, are calm and caring. I am fully informed of how Mum is by email and calls if necessary. Everyone is friendly and approachable, the girls who come into clean always have a chat too. I can visit at any time which fits in with my schedule too.
Many Thanks
Carla
On the negative side my biggest complaint was my bed which was so uncomfortable that I had very little sleep. My one observation of the daily meal routine is that supper at 5 pm through to breakfast usually after 9 am is too long between 2 main meals, although I appreciate there are always drinks/snacks available.
My final praise must go to the hospitality staff who brightened up each day.
Kind Regards,
Martin
All very good, staff and facilities are fine. My time there was fine.
Kind Regards,
Martin
I am blessed to have been nearly a year on the care floor at Richmond Villages Witney. I have been happy and cared for and even loved. These many women and men do something truly honourable: they clean up, they laugh, they bandage, they administer care and hope and wisdom. They work wonderfully as a team - the carers, nurses, hostesses, activities team and management. They do all this for me and every resident here - giving meaning to the term "patient-centred care". They wipe our tears, hold our hand, and 12 hours a day and 12 hours a night, they remind us there is life and joy still to be had. I thank them all, truly, and recommend the care floor with all my heart.
Kind Regards,
Martin
Overall general care very good.

Martin
My 99yr old mother in law moved to Richmond Village for an initial 3 week respite stay after a couple of falls. We extended this weekly for a while and eventually decided to make the move permanent. This was because we realised that the fantastic care package offered and tailored to individual needs was exactly what she needed and beyond what we could find elsewhere. She had a room overlooking the croquet lawn. Staff really are very discrete and hard working. The senior nursing staff helped with a health care application. There is a regular programme provided by the Activities team who encourage residents to join in but there is no pressure to participate. She was very particular about her food but found very little which wasn't to her taste. The restaurant staff were always friendly. Visiting family often commented it was like an hotel. Moving to Richmond was absolutely the right thing and I think it's fair to say that residents and staff get to know each other as individuals.
Kind Regards
Carla
I cannot fault the overall care and support that the team gave my mum. We, as a family, are so grateful.
Kind Regards,
Martin
Having started his journey with Richmond Village in Witney in an independent living flat nearly ten years ago my father is now permanently on the Care Floor. Here he has a lovely light room overlooking the gardens and is close to the shared living/dining area which means there are always staff and other residents passing by. He moved to the Care Floor when his mobility started deteriorating and he needed medical care, as a family this gave us great peace of mind, we knew he was being looked after. The nursing and care staff are absolutely amazing, always cheerful and ready to chat whilst doing their duties. Dad is still very much involved with the activities provided by a very enthusiastic team downstairs in the hub of the village where he is able to interact with residents living in other areas of Richmond. All the staff from the maintenance team, the cleaners, the hospitality team, the lovely receptionists, carers and nurses are just wonderful, so kind and always smiling.
Kind Regards,
Martin
Nuala and I have four kids ages 10-12. So it was a huge leap for us booking into RV. But the kids visit often (and are made very welcome) and it's been easy for Nuala to make trips home as often as she wants. Nuala isn't a typical resident, but she's been made to feel really welcome and really included. Her stay here hasn't felt like a response to a crisis situation. It's been more like a period of rest and healing that she really needed. It's been a source of reassurance to me to know that my beautiful wife is being so well cared for. So thank you: the experience has been a joy.
Kind Regards,
Martin
Have been thoroughly impressed with the care given to my mother. All of the staff seem very friendly, caring and skilled and the accommodation and food are really good. Like a lot of people I guess my mother wasn't keen on "losing her independence" but she has been very happy with the care and service she has received.
Kind Regards,
Martin
I am very happy here in this home. The food is good, and the staff are kind and helpful. I feel I am looked after very well.
Kind Regards,
Martin
Room is comfortable, but could be a bit larger (some are) but I have an amazing view from my room.

My husband was diagnosed with IBM( a form of muscular dystrophy with no treatment available) in 2013. We made the decision to move to Richmond in 2016 and he has coped with Dom Care help until end of August this year when he could no longer stand or transfer. He was immediately offered respite care on the care floor as he required hoisting up from bed and back to bed at the end of the day. He initially had 3 weeks respite while I prepared his flat for his return. However he felt so much safer on the care floor and received the care and attention that he needed. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and he made the decision to stay permanently. Not everything is perfect but we have been very impressed with the staff and the care and he has settled in very well. He is very grateful for the kind attention of the care team and the help and advice from the head, the clinical lead and the nurses.
Martin
My advice, based on our own experience, is to be very careful. Some aspects are very good, others, and in our experience this includes important elements of care ranging from handling, through hydration to hygiene, are poor. It may help you to know that both CQC and the local authority have done inspections recently based on concerns and complaints raised. Checkout their reports, they are more than fair, if not a little generous, in their ratings. Want to know more, ask to be put in contact with the friends and families group for home. Finally, I would be grateful if this review is not met with the usual BUPA response of 'please get in contact etc.'. I have made our views very plain over and very little has improved, to respond now would frankly be disrespectful.
Dad was a resident at Richmond Village Witney for about two years. Firstly in one of the assisted living suites and then for the last months of his life on the nursing home floor. Whilst it had taken some persuading for him to move from his home, once he got there he loved it. The staff were great - nothing was too much bother. There were activities which he could participate in or not and there were always other residents around who he could sit and chat to. The facilities were very high quality and there was always plenty of good food. As it became clear that he needed more care it made things so much easier that he could just move to a different part of the Village. He could continue with some of the activities that he loved and also had care from people who knew and looked out for him. From my perspective the communications with the staff at RV were excellent. They saw him everyday and were able to help me to make the best choices for him.
It was an absolute pleasure to have Dad with us at Richmond Village Witney, from his days in assisted living through to looking after him on the care floor. He is missed by residents and staff alike. The comfort for us is that the team supported him in living his best possible life, seeing his positivity, cheerfulness and constant smile. A true Gent.
from my understanding . Basically it's too much.overall I have been here for 2 years. The nurses are very helpful
Many thanks for taking the time to complete the survey, and great to see that overall you were satisfied with your stay on the care floor. I know that a member of the team has already had conversations with you in terms of the areas we could improve upon. Looking forward to catching up with you to ensure your satisfaction improves. Kind Regards
I have been to other care homes and Richmond Village Witney is very good. When I came to look around with 2 friends we were greeted and made to feel welcome. Even my friend said she could see me being happy here. After our show round we stayed for lunch and the outside grounds are fantastic. I came for 3 weeks respite in January to try it out and everyone is so helpful and caring and cheerful. Having had such a great stay I decided to move to Richmond care home permanently and moved in at beginning of April to a beautiful room that I am over the moon with. There are facilities for the hydro pool and sauna which are great and lots of activities to get involved in plus trips out and supper clubs and entertainment. All the staff from the housekeepers, carers and up to the management are very helpful and you can speak to the manger at anytime if you wish to - and I was very honoured to be invited onto the mangers table at the monthly supper club. Also I am making lots of new friends.
Thank you so much for your positive review and your energy/willingness to be involved here at Richmond Village Witney. On behalf of the team it is great to see you embracing so many activities and making new friends here, living your best possible life.
