Overall Experience

Today was Valentine's Day. The lounges, dining rooms and reception areas had been adorned with such colourful and artistic decorations relevant to this day inlcuding rose petals and red roses on the tables. The activities lady had requested special delicious Valentine's cakes and refreshments to be

served with suitable music being played in the background. It was a very happy afternoon for the residents.

Reply from Home Manager, Home Manager at Abbeycrest Nursing Home

Oaken Holt Nursing and Residential Home
from Kayleigh M (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 March 2025

Overall Experience

My mum has been at Oakenholt for seven years. I can't fault the care that's provided. The staff have not only fulfilled there duties but have done so with kindness and sincere care. The fact that there has always been consistency with staffing and mum doesn't have to be cared for by new faces all the

time, makes a huge difference. The nursing care has been second to none. The home itself is welcoming, cosy and also beautiful, set in acres of green Oxfordshire space. The staff are always happy to help and do so with a smile. I can't thank them enough.

I just think the staff and management are amazing and can't thank them enough for looking after my wife so wonderfully.
Abbycrest is more like a hotel rather than a nursing home.
I just can't fault it.

It wasn't a hard decision choosing Huntercombe Hall for my Nan, as soon as we walked in everything felt right.
The atmosphere was lovely and the staff are all so friendly and so very caring.
Nanny settled very quickly and has made some lovely friends.
She is enjoying the activities especially colouring,

and has even started knitting again.

Lovely care home. Staff are very caring to residents and myself. My mum has late stage dementia, so her needs are great. I feel that she is looked after like one of the family. Staff tell me about problems she has, so I feel informed. My father recently died and they have been so kind to me and I really

appreciate their support.

My mother has been in Stowford for 18 months and really enjoys it, she loves the activities and enjoys the lovely food. All the staff are very nice and always ready to help her, whatever she needs is not ever a problem. Most of all she enjoys the company of the other residents and having a good chat

with them over dinner.
Well done Stowford House, keep up the good work.

Overall Experience

I believe my mother is in a very welcoming and supportive care home. I believe she is be looked after medically, physically and mentally in a very professional setting.
The staff are very welcoming and very helpful.
If I have one thing that is disappointing it is the cleaning of my mother's room

which could be better. Also my mother needs a straw in order to drink her tea and other drinks, because of the collar she wears. Unfortunately very often she isn't given one.

Overall Experience

My mother has been resident in Stowford House since February 2023. It is an extremely friendly home and she is very happy there. All residents are treated with respect and they are persuaded to join in the varied activities wherever possible. Christmas 2024 has been a particular highlight with carol

services, a Christmas party and then, in the new year, a pantomime which have been much enjoyed.

Reply from Home Manager, Home Manager at Stowford House

It is wonderful to hear that your mother is happy and feels a part of the family at Stowford House, also that the varied activities are warmly received. We are pleased you could join us for our festive events and enjoyed them as I know we did and look forward to our future events.

All staff are very caring and empathetic to the needs of the residents. The lifestyles team provide a very varied programme of activities to suit all needs and encourage family to join in. The Panto was brilliant and well received by all. I cannot fault the care Mum has received in Stowford House since

she arrived and the friendly atmosphere makes it home from home. Thank you all very much.

Overall Experience

Clean, well run with pleasant staff who are willing to listen to any request. Food good but needs to be served hotter and more in keeping with timetable. Activities are varied and well motivated. The exercise class given by the outside person is longer and with more interaction with the residents than

the Scottish video exercises.

Reply from Home Manager, Home Manager at Stowford House

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review and for all your feedback. It is important to us to listen and action requests for our residents and their loved ones and we are pleased this has been your experience, it is great to hear that the varied activities are well received and that the in person exercise class is preferred.

Overall Experience

There's no question that my father's health has improved considerably during the last 12 months directly due to the level of care provided by the staff at Stowford House. His room is always immaculate and very clean, as is the rest of the building, the carers are always attentive and the quality of

the food is likely better than he has ever eaten. Thank you to all of the team for the fantastic job they're doing.

Reply from Home Manager, Home Manager at Stowford House

It is wonderful to hear that you have seen an improvement in your father's health since he has been with us and cared for at Stowford House and to hear he is enjoying the food as well is great. The whole team will be delighted to receive this feedback.

We love this place! Nurses and carers are so attentive and friendly. They remember our names and preferences and are always there with a smile. The food is absolutely delicious, Mum loves having a three-course meal at lunchtime - 'just like a hotel'! Thanks to the chef! The manager has been brilliant,

Mum loves her! From start to finish the whole experience has reassured and comforted me, she's in very good hands.

I'm very happy with Abbeycrest Nursing Home. We couldn't have found a better place for my lovely Mum to see out her time on this earth. Wonderful, friendly, attentive, efficient staff. Can't fault the place. Managed excellently. I would like the option to use the stairs rather than the lift but I understand

why they are staff use only.
