The Abbeyfield Oxenford Society Ltd is care home for older people in Oxfordshire.

The home is clean, happy and cheerful. My mother is talked to and the staff are attentive, kind and caring. They have got to know my mother very quickly and are aware of her likes and dislikes. She is happy and calm when I visit her and is very fond of the staff.

My mum had 5 weeks of respite care this winter at Oxenford. They looked after her really well, we are all very happy with everything. All the staff were super helpful and did all they could to help her settle in and feel welcome. Recommended.

The care provided by all staff was way beyond expectations as was the cleanliness of the entire property. Mum was always beautifully dressed and hair neatly set. Despite her limited mobility, she was even taken out on trips. As her dementia deteriorated, the staff and management did all they could to
accommodate her. Eventually, she had to be relocated to enable high-level nursing care. On her death, they even sent representatives to her funeral. What an amazing team.

So lovely to hear that you were happy with the level of care provided to Mum. It was a pleasure having her here and getting to know her family.

My Mother has been a resident of Oxenford House for over a year.
She is very happy with the level of care and support provided. My Mother particularly enjoys the daily exercise classes and the various entertainment provided.
She frequently remarks on the quality of the meals, which is significant
as she has been recognised as a very high-quality family cook for over 50 years!

The staff are supportive and caring to my mother. I know that mother feels secure and cared for although she can not always communicate it.
They are also supportive of the family of the resident.
The home cooked food is important, ensuring that they have a balanced diet.
They may not have all the
facilities that some homes have but a lot of the residents will never use them.
It's the care and support and that the residents are treated with dignity.

The entire staff team work tirelessly and cheerfully to offer the residents the very best quality of life. They create an atmosphere that is welcoming and homely, feels safe and is comfortable.
Our cousin, who needed palliative care at the end of her life, was looked after in the kindest, most thoughtful
and calmly professional way. We were also very well supported over this difficult period.
We can't thank Abbeyfield Oxenford Society enough for all they do every day!

I can't speak highly enough of the care my mother receives at Oxenford House. All the staff are so kind and caring, as well as being efficient and professional. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they give top priority to residents' needs and wishes. They have created a really 'family feel' to
the home and take every opportunity to celebrate birthdays, Christmas and national events. A wide range of activities and entertainment is offered every week - from craft/cooking to visiting entertainers and animals/birds brought in for residents to hold and stroke. There's a Scrabble Club, dominoes, bingo, quizzes and jigsaw puzzles, as well as regular excursions to local places of interest eg garden centres or shopping trips or a wheel or walk around the village. I have every confidence that my very elderly mum is in safe hands, night and day, and she has been happy from her first day, eighteen months ago. Some staff have been there for years, and all work happily together.

Our relative is so happy and content at Oxenford. Staff are always very kind and attentive, and she is regularly able to enjoy a range of really stimulating and fun activities. She receives the highest quality of care in such a homely environment, and we are very grateful to the staff for their hard
work in making her later years so happy and fulfilled.

From the moment my mother started daycare to the day she became a resident, mum was made so welcome. The process was dealt with care and compassion. Mum settled in so well and is so at home there. After looking after mum for the past 3 years it is such a relief to see her happy and well cared for in
a safe and happy enviroment. It is lovely to see photos of the activities. Thank you to all the staff for looking after her.

A wonderful, caring atmosphere with a real family feel - the staff have taken the time to get to know my mother really well and understand what makes her tick. She can be awkward, and they take it all in their stride, responding with humour and good grace. They have been expertly attentive when she
is unwell, and it makes me feel very happy to know she is in such good hands. The home is light and clean, and there is a range of daily activities for those who wish to join in, as well as day trips and outings from time to time.

I feel staff listen to my concerns and where possible, act to address them or reassure me. I am treated with respect and the staff are always cheerful, friendly and encouraging.
I believe there is a good relationship between the staff and all who provide medical care to the residents.
Staff always
act professionally and are readily available to the residents and their relatives.
This is a very safe environment at Oxenford House. I feel very content and safe here.

My mother has been in Oxenford for almost 2 years and I've been really happy with the care from the start. The carers are amazing, they continue to show great kindness, patience and care. There's also a good deal of laughter. A great range of activities are provided, not all of which mum wants to join
in on but she's given the freedom to make her own decisions - even though she probably misses out on some fun! They had a lovely visit to the seaside in the summer which she still talks about. I'm always given a warm welcome when I arrive and they put on some lovely events for residents and family. There's a very happy atmosphere in the Home. There seems to be little change in the staff which must reflect on good and happy management. My mum's words probably sum it up 'I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.'

Mum has now been at The Abbeyfield Oxenford for five months following her transfer from a nursing home, and she has settled in so well. She is fortunate to be one of the more active residents so can make full use of all the facilities and activities on offer, from what I see whenever I visit, it is
heartwarming. The residents are all treated with kindness, thoughtfulness and dignity. All the staff are cheerful and friendly. The home is spotless and sweet-smelling. The food is varied appealing and much praised. Her room is lovely and there is an excellent activity programme. It is a very welcoming place in all respects.

Mum has been a permanent resident at Oxenford House for 5 years. She quickly settled in, thanks to the staff, and has really enjoyed participating in the many activities on offer (particularly musical). As her health has gradually deteriorated, with the development of dementia, the staff have excelled
in providing increasing levels of care and reassurance to her. Mum has enjoyed the food and the lovely garden. I have been struck by the endless patience of the carers and their exceptional kindness to her. I would fully recommend Oxenford House to anyone seeking a welcoming, clean and safe environment for their loved ones.

Mum has been a resident at The Abbeyfield Oxenford Society for almost six months and during that time her Carers have been wonderful. Without exception they are kind, friendly and have endless patience. The home is always clean, fresh and welcoming. The management is very efficient and there are
plenty of interesting activities and outings for residents who wish to interact. I would highly recommend Oxenford House.

My mother has lived at Oxenford House for 6 months. I cannot speak highly enough of the care that she has received there. The staff are an incredible team who work together to ensure that all my mother's needs are met. Along with managing her practical care, a great deal of effort is put into making
her life as rich as possible. She loves being taken out for walks and taking part in all of the activities that are on offer. The new vehicle, which has just been purchased, means that she can now be taken out to places a little further away and that has made her life much more interesting. I always feel very welcome whenever I call in to visit, and so do the rest of my family.

I struggle to find sufficient words with which to thank you and your lovely team of caring carers who wonderfully looked after my wife for the last two weeks. Thank you. Caring for these old folk is not just a job, it is a vocation in The Abbeyfield Oxenford Society Care Home and done with professionalism
and tender loving care!
My wife, aged 93, has dementia and cardiac failure. She can just about shuffle but is very forgetful and quite confused by both day and night. I am only 90 this year but have some physical limitations. It has been my privilege to be her personal carer for over five years now but it is increasingly demanding.
My wife appeared to respond very well to Oxenford, your organised routines, the presence of other old folks around and the gentle help and attention of your great team of carers. It was amazing to see her participate in the chair-based exercises and eat her meals with enthusiasm. Of course, she also dozes comfortably in her chair, as do many of her companions, but she looks contented, is safe and watched over. Altogether, I was happy with everything that was done and realise that I cannot look after her nearly as well at home. Indeed, I hope that you will welcome her back to Oxenford soon.
Because I live very close to Oxenford I have been able to visit more often and longer than any other relatives. Unobtrusively I have been able to observe various activities and see the genuine affection that many of your carers have for the old folk, especially those who need the most help. From my observations, I feel happy and confident that my wife was, and would be, safe and lovingly cared for in Oxenford. Thank you to all the carers there, individually and collectively.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.838)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.838) out of 10 for Abbeyfield Oxenford Society Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.838 for Abbeyfield Oxenford Society Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (173 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.838

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Abbeyfield Oxenford Society Ltd is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
