I came to Oxford Beaumont for a short time of convalescence care and that is what I received. Attentive and professional, caring and good humoured. In a comfortable room with a calming 'green' view and en suite facilities. Excellent nursing care.

My friend had a sudden loss of mobility, meaning 24/7 assistance was required. Since she has been in the home, she has been really well looked after. The staff go out of their way to be friendly and treat everyone with respect and dignity. Nothing is too much trouble, and it feels like the whole staff
is one big happy family. I would not hesitate to recommend Oxford Beaumont for excellent care for your loved ones.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The care my father received from staff and management, despite the difficulties caused by his dementia, was exemplary. He was treated with kindness and compassion. Everyone who comes here, even visiting family and friends, are always treated to tea and cake and made to feel like part of the Beaumont
family. My mother, who now lives in a nearby assisted living apartment, enjoys her independence but she is encouraged daily to partake in social activities and particularly loves the musical events, French lessons, Knit and Natter and the regular outings in and around Oxford.
Anyone looking for a kind and caring home for their loved ones need look no further.

Reply from Oxford Beaumont, General Manager at Barchester Oxford Beaumont Care Community

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review. We are pleased that you and your family are happy with the care we offered to your father. We are also delighted that your mother decided to stay connected with the Oxford Beaumont and joined the Assisted Living Community. The whole team is pleased to know that you feel confident about support we provide and you would recommend our home to those who are looking for a care home. We would like to ensure that our standards are continuously improved and your feedback will support us to do so. If you do have any further comments to make please do not hesitate to contact us.

My father came here in July 2019 to be nearer to me for his final few weeks, he was so frail. He has made a miraculous recovery since being here, with the care and friendships he has made has helped him enormously, he enjoys all the days out, entertainment and choice of food that the home provides and
this July 2023 will be his fourth year here. I would recommend The Oxford Beaumont to anyone looking for a care home for their loved ones

My mum spent her last 3 years in Barchester Oxford Beaumont. All of the staff were very welcoming and friendly. My mum soon became part of their family. We could not have wished for a better place for my mum to be and for the care that she received. There was always plenty of activities and entertainment
going on, which everyone joined in including the staff. It was a happy place for my mum and for our family knowing she was well cared for. Thank you.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

The food is appalling. On viewing the home told all veg is fresh - it's not! The majority of meals are inedible. Residents rely on omelettes and cheese on toast. Raised in residents meeting - nothing done. Spoke with the manager - flippant and condescending! Showed no concern regarding the seriousness
of the situation. Offered to arrange a meeting between cook and Mum-in-Law - appalling. The majority of activities are not taking place.

Reply from Oxford Beaumont, General Manager at Barchester Oxford Beaumont Care Community

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we are sorry to read your comments. We really value feedback and your views have been shared with the chef and activities teams as well as the manager and nationwide support teams to review immediately. We understand each resident has different food preferences and we like our chef to get to know our residents personally so they can bear this in mind when writing menus. We also offer an all-day dining menu with freshly made easy meals for residents who want to eat at a different time or do not fancy what is on the menu that day. We are sorry that you feel the chef meeting your mum-in-law was appalling, however, we do hope you now have clarity in why this meeting was suggested. If you do have any further comments/feedback you would like to make my door is always open and I am happy to support. Kind Regards from Oxford Beaumont Care Community.

I visit my friend 3 times a week. She is very well and is as contented as anyone who had a high-powered career and valued her independence and now has dementia. I personally have been welcomed warmly by the staff on the desk. The carers have to become friends. If one has to be cared for in a home this
is a good one!

All of our family witnessed a very compassionate, caring, dedicated and professional team of staff members. We could not have wished for a better place for my father to have been placed, especially for the level of care in his final weeks before he passed away. Our hope is that other families need to
rely on passionate, caring and supportive people as we had. A lovely atmosphere and comfortable surroundings. We were fortunate to have the help and support my father and the family were given.

Reply from Oxford Beaumont, General Manager at Barchester Oxford Beaumont Care Community

We are deeply sorry for the loss of your father. Without a doubt, losing a loved one is a very difficult experience.

This is the best nursing home I've seen here in the UK, the whole staff are nice and fantastic! As much as the love and they put into such hard work. Every time I come there I feel at home.

Wonderful staff, always very approachable, go above and beyond in what they do. Mum couldn't be in a better place. She loves the staff but struggles with the food due to being Celiac, I would say that is the only point that needs addressing going forward. As her closest relative, we are as a family
very happy with her care at the Beaumont.

The Barchester Oxford Beaumont Care Community is a lovely, comfortable house of the type often found in Boars Hill. It is situated in a green belt, so has beautiful surroundings (with the best view of Oxford). And plenty of parking.
The staff are professional and responsive but also friendly, warm,
attentive, kind and caring, they obviously like the residents, each other and working there (attributes that come from the top). In particular, the nurses are conscientious and thoroughly careful with medication and monitoring (our neurologist was particularly impressed with their records).
Last, but not least, the home has an excellent chef who produces three-course lunches and dinners served in the dining room (or in residents' rooms, should they so wish). And she caters for all tastes and requirements (e.g. vegan).
Can't be praised highly enough.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.887)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.887) out of 10 for Barchester Oxford Beaumont Care Community is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.887 for Barchester Oxford Beaumont Care Community is calculated as follows: ( (278 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 309 Ratings = 4.887

  • 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 Barchester Oxford Beaumont Care Community is based on 26 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 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8, which has been reached with 26 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.

Hello, I am Judith, and I am a Volunteer here at the Oxford Beaumont Care Community.


I am much enjoying being a volunteer at the Oxford Beaumont a couple of times a week, both chatting to the Residents and running a very elementary French class. I have lived on Boars Hill for many years now, with my late husband, who spent his last few months being very well looked after here, at the Oxford Beaumont. Before that, we had lived a very peripatetic life all over the world and it is a great pleasure to be able to meet the interesting staff and residents at Oxford Beaumont.

Job Title: Resident Ambassador

Joined: 2024

I’m Jan, Resident Ambassador for the Oxford Beaumont Care Home.


I moved here in late April 2024 and the warm welcome extended to me by everyone here made my transition to a care environment very easy - I quickly felt included and valued.


My role is to be an ambassador for the incredible care that we receive at Oxford Beaumont and to be the voice of the residents about anything at all that comes up. I’m often to be found near the front door, so am easily available if anyone fancies a chat! Perhaps teaching for nearly 40 years has helped with confidence and a genuine enjoyment of being with many different people.


I support the staff here in speaking to prospective residents about long-term or respite care and I’m happy to share my positive experience of settling in and becoming part of this friendly community.

Our social contact with each other is a key part of staying well, happy and purposeful, and I much enjoy chatting, joining in the activities and contributing to the friendliness of mealtimes. We get to know each other well and care about each other, which makes it a special community to be part of.


I can wholeheartedly recommend the Oxford Beaumont to anyone considering a move into a care home, whether short or long stay – we are well looked after and it is a wonderful environment to be in.


We also have a lovely avenue of trees in the garden where we can enjoy being together outside too when the weather permits.


If any resident has any feedback or suggestions, or you just need a bit of support to make the most of life here, please do come and find me and I’ll be very happy to help.
