Thank you all for supporting myself and my father at a very difficult time. You are so kind and professional, it is very reasuring to know my father is safe and being well cared for. The communication is straightforward and uncomplicated which really helps when at times it is complex situation to
navigate easily.

I am just wondering why Headington Care Home housing frail elderly people cannot fix the boiler problems that mean no hot water, no showers, no proper wash for several weeks? Pretty shocking isnt it?? Still charging hefty fees. Where is all that money going?

Always excellent the care my husband receives, staff helpful, efficient and polite and friendly.
As I have mobility problems the staff always kindly get a wheelchair and take me to his bedroom, and take me back down to reception for my taxi/lift home. Very kindly are happy to bring me a most
welcome cup of tea. The food is varied and always looks well cooked and enticing. Physio is given daily.

The home is clean and welcoming. The staff are friendly, professional and caring. We are very happy to come and see our Uncle who is eating well and being cared for.

Visited my father, totally unannounced, he is bedridden, but he and his room were clean, tidy and smelling fresh. Staff checked in on us and guided us through his wellbeing and care. Offered us refreshment and supported us during our visit. It is never easy to visit a loved one who has no memory of
you and is a person you lost years ago, but staff always are comforting and informative.
Keep up the good work.

I am very happy to have my Auntie in this care home. The home is kept spotless and if we have a problem, such as the toilet leaking, it is attended to immediately. The staff are wonderful and I have never heard any staff get cross with any of the residents. All the nursing staff are exceptional and
always cheerful and helpful. All in all. This care home is excellent.

I found her room to be in a disgusting state. Filthy carpet, broken toilet seat and broken furniture.

My friend has been resident here for several years. During that time she has been well looked after by staff, many of whom have been there many years. They are very friendly when I arrive. The home is very clean and tidy.
I have been finding difficult to cope with the ever changing entry and
exit methods, as I visit on a Sunday, and have to wait for someone to help me. However I quite understand that security is a priority.

The staff were fantastic. Food bland and not very nice. We couldn't really fault the care mum received and as a family we are so pleased of the outcome. To have her home after 3 weeks with yourselves is great, we are very happy she didn't need to go home with carers.

From time to time, my wife and I call in to visit on of your residents. Prior to moving into The Headington Care home, he lived on the same estate as we do. We have known our friend for over ten years and been alongside him in many situations. The care home has transformed his life at so many
levels; with his thoughts and in his outlook on life. He has been supported in so many levels by the staff.

I was very impressed with the new female physio. She engaged with all the residents by having name badges, walking around the room, speaking to individuals before getting them to join in. She also sang to them at the end and got some of them to salute. A great improvement on the previous male
physion who only sat on a chair for the whole session.

For my elderly mother with mobility issues, The Headington Care Home provides her with a generally friendly service but with lots of structure.
Mum is well looked after in terms of her medication and visits by the GP. Headington Care Home has a friendly aura that stems from the manager. The care
home always maintains contact with me in case of emergency. The lounge is spacious, the rooms are clean and always looked after. Overall Mum is happy and at peace there.

Dad always seems well cared for and clean. Staff are always quick to see to his needs. He can be difficult at times and staff are aware of how to help him when needed.

My mum lived in the care home for just over two years and the staff were great, she was bed-bound but very well cared for and took the worry away from us as much as they could. Mum passed away in June and all staff were amazing during those last few days of her life, I cannot thank Headington Care
Home and the staff enough for what they did for Mum and the family.
15 August 2024
My mum moved here early this year.
She immediately seems calmer and more happy and looked after than any other time.
Thanks to the staff and management.
09 April 2024
My mother passed away in November after being in the care home for ten years. I wanted to thank everyone, again, for all they have done for my mum and for the care and dignity given to her in her last days. The staff kept me informed of her condition in her last few days and this allowed me to
travel to be with her at the end. In all the years that my mum was there, I can't say enough about everyone working there, they all work very hard to do the best they can and make sure that the residents are taken care of, I would recommend this care home to anyone.
