Cannot praise the staff and care provided at Oxendon House enough. My Dad firstly moved here for Respite with a view to permanent placement. From first communication, staff were helpful and knowledgable. Finding the perfect place for your loved one isn't easy but the team at Oxendon were
supportive and patient with our questions and requests.
On the day we moved dad in, it was late afternoon/early evening, the team were waiting for us, with a meal ready to give Dad some comfort. New place and food waiting was a hit with him. This hadn't been requested by us it was simply something the home recognised was important.
The continued care and interaction I have had with each and every staff member I have encountered since that first afternoon has continued in the same vein. Helpful, communicative, understanding, supportive and knowledgeable. There is always something going on to encourage him to socialise and engage with others. I would definitely recommend Oxendon House.

Dad became a resident in November 2025, my brother and myself share the view that the staff and environment are perfect for my Dad's medical condition and needs. The staff are very patient, friendly and compassionate when dealing with Dad's very demanding nature. It's very homely and welcoming, it
does feel like home from home. We often say its better than some hotels we've stayed in! The most important aspect for us as a family is that when we leave Dad after a visit we 100% know that he is being cared for and is safe, and that is what makes Oxendon House excellent.

The staff at the home, especially Simon , have been exemplary in looking after my parents as they went in together in October. Their needs are very different. Mum has Alzheimer's whereas Dad is just elderly.
The environment and the staff have helped my parents and myself cope with the changes in
their lives. Well done.

I'm a local childminder and I bring the children along to meet the residents and do activities,
The children absolutely love coming and we always feel welcome,
The residents interact with them and both the children and residents get so much out of it,
Thank you for having us

The staff here are fantastic with Mum and the other residents. What ever mood Mum is in they treat her so very well.
We couldn't have coped without them and I don't think she would still be with us if we hadn't found Oxendon.
Thanks folks.

My nan had had a really tough year she was in and out of hospital moved from one place to another and it really had a knock on effect on her dementia. Then she was offered a place at Oxeden house they made her feel at home straight away made the family feel welcome and happy with the care my nan
would receive my nan has been hear since September and she's improving all the time when she arrived she was so unsteady on her feet falling all the time and now with the help of the team at Oxeden house she can walk using a frame she's thriving not surviving we as a family are super happy with the home the staff and the care my nan receives
17 December 2025
Every single member of staff, without exception, showed my Dad the utmost care, patience, understanding, love, and respect. He was always treated with dignity, and it was clear to me that his needs always came first. I saw firsthand over 13 months what outstanding care looks like. The compassion
extended to my Dad was equally extended to me. I always left Oxendon House knowing my Dad was safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, and that peace of mind meant the world to me. Communication with management was always open and honest; nothing was ever too much trouble. It was evident that everyone's focus was on doing what was best for my Dad. What sets Oxendon House apart is that everyone there truly cares, not in a procedural sense, but from the heart. I feel so grateful and fortunate that my Dad was cared for at Oxendon House. He was treated with respect, kindness, dignity, and love every single day, and for this, I will be forever thankful.

Mum has been a resident at Oxendon House for nearly three years and is very happy in the very 'homely' home. The staff are always cheerful and friendly when we visit and understand mum well. The activities are varied, the food always looks appetising and the menu sounds excellent. The care mum has
received has been excellent from the dedicated and hard working staff. We are sure mum is in the right home.
12 September 2025
My mother has been a resident since January 2024 and I couldn't be happier with the care that she receives, it really is a home away from home. She has Alzheimer's and this can sometimes cause challenging behaviour, but it is always dealt with gently and with exceptional professionalism. I can rest
easy knowing that she is safe and her sparkle and smile are still there.

My sister has been a resident in Oxendon House since January 2024. She is very settled and happy there. She responds well to the staff, who are all understanding and very aware of her needs; they are also very supportive of us, her family. They provide a wide range of activities, some of which she
joins in with. I am pleased to have been able to recommend the home to friends who are looking for residential care for their parents, etc.
03 September 2025
The care provided for my aunt is outstanding. Her needs are being met by a team of friendly and professional staff. The activates offered at the home are stimulating and meet the needs of the clients well. These activities are wide ranging and lead enthusiastically by the activities coordinator.
The range of food provided takes into account dietry requirements and clients medical needs. My aunt still gets "treat" items when she wants them, not just the catered meals. Services like hairdressing and manicured help clients to feel positive about themselves helping with the move from independent living to a care setting. We couldn't be more satisfied with the care provided here. My aunt is gently encouraged to join in, especially on days when her mood is low and engagement expectations are tailored to these ups and downs due to her developing dementia.

Our father is very happy and content at Oxendon House. The staff are fantastic and very caring. There is plenty to keep Dad stimulated and it's a real 'home from home' but with all the safety and support you would expect.
25 February 2025
Due to a family move, we needed to find a new care home for Dad. Oxendon House seemed the best fit for Dad's needs and the room available was very nice, with patio doors and lots of space.
The team at Oxendon House has made the whole transfer of Dad a very pleasant experience and was and are
extremely helpful and caring. Dad has settled in better than expected by the family and this is due to the care and professionalism of the whole team at Oxendon House, which we highly recommend.
01 May 2024
Mum has been a resident since December 2023 and I have nothing but praise for the service.
Excellent activities.
Good fresh food. One of the main reasons we selected Oxendon. All freshly prepared on-site.
The staff are all so dedicated.
09 February 2024
My auntie moved into Oxendon House some time ago after a prolonged hospital stay, followed by being poorly looked after at a different care establishment. Whilst she still suffers from mobility issues, the staff and management at Oxendon House have provided excellent care, enabling her to regain her
health and enjoy a much better quality of life than she had previously. Thank you.

We are so happy with the love and care Mum received in the last months of her life. Staff coped with her dementia and sometimes challenging behaviour in such a knowledgeable and gentle manner, often with humour, and made our family’s life so much easier knowing she was well looked after. We were
always cheerfully greeted and everyone, from management to cleaning staff, was supportive to both our family visiting every day and me living so far away in taking an interest, offering advice and a listening ear when needed. I felt they always had time for us, as well as Mum.
Everywhere is kept very clean and nicely decorated. We especially loved the peaceful and secure garden that can be accessed freely from within. Activities are improving now as new staff have come in and the social media page keeps us up-to-date with photos – lovely for those of us that can’t often visit.
A huge thank you to everyone at Oxendon House Care Home for doing such a great job: very well done.

The care Mum received from this wonderful home has been extraordinary - it's something I will never forget. Mum moved from another home in a spiraling decline of dementia. Staff at Oxendon House quickly assessed her needs and involved the mental health team. Mum was started on new medication and
this (and the vastly superior care) literally changed everything for her, reducing her agitation massively. Nothing was too much trouble, they treated her with so much love and respect despite her very challenging behaviours.
Mum reached the end of her journey with this terrible illness whilst in residence. They were always one step ahead of her needs and talked me through everything, preparing me for things that I'd never considered.
I spent the last week with Mum day and night and felt involved in her care 100%.
Losing her to dementia was heartbreaking but would have been so much worse without their love and care.
I can't thank or recommend Oxendon House enough.
They are wonderful!

My brother has been in Oxendon House Care Home for twelve months. He seems comfortable and the home is well looked after. Most of the staff are good, some excellent - I've never seen any being downright unhelpful. Senior staff are generally on the ball when it comes to illnesses and medication and
keep me informed of any problems. There seems to have been a lack of organised activities over the last year, which is more of a concern to some users than others, no doubt. It bothers me that the GP hardly ever visits, (whatever the CQC might like to think) leaving most things to a physician associate but I suspect this is par for the course now in most care homes.
05 December 2023
This is a really well-run home. There is a happy and caring atmosphere. Staff are always present and respond quickly to the resident's needs. My father can no longer express an opinion, but I know he is relaxed and content, always smart, well-fed and in safe hands. Congratulations to a fabulous
team.
