Mum spent her final eight months at this home. From the outset, they couldn't have been more welcoming and accommodating. The arts and crafts activities gave mum a new lease of life, she loved receiving visitors (pre-Covid). The morning and afternoon tea trolly were welcomed by residents and visitors
alike. Mums final weeks couldn't have been made more comfortable and the staff really cared and were happy to talk to me on a daily basis with updates/concerns. I would wholeheartedly recommend this home for a loved one.

Came to visit on 30th December. Everyone made great effort (fancy dress) to make it a really enjoyable evening. The kitchen made a tasty buffet. Entertainment fun for all family. Thanks for the friendly atmosphere as always.

The Oxford Beaumont is an excellent care home. The staff are very friendly and helpful. My mother is in an independent living flat, so does not get any physical or health care, but she can eat in the restaurant and join in with all the activities. There is a full and varied program. Yesterday evening
she attended an evening show with a very good singer, wine and snacks and a Halloween theme. Well organised by the head of activities who is always cheerful and friendly.

Moving my mother to Beaumont was a very good decision. My mother is very settled and seems to enjoy her environment and the staff who care for her. I am so pleased that I can now relax knowing that she is cared for and respected. I am informed when a decision needs to be made regarding her care. I
am very pleased to know that my mother is receiving the outstanding care she deserves.

I am responsible for a friend who lives at the Oxford Beaumont and I visit almost every day for a few hours. I have found the Oxford Beaumont very welcoming and friendly. My friend receives good care and attention, although nothing can be like at home for her! She has been at times a challenge for the
staff but she was always been treated with patience and care.
I am very impressed by most of the carers but must admit my mixed feelings about a few agency people whose manners, with the residents, are rather 'off-hand' and lacking in understanding of the needs and state of mind.
Is it is due to poor training, personality or simply a cultural difference? I also realise that recruitment can be a problem.

The staff were amazing, friendly and professional. Mum had a lovely time. The food was lovely she was helped when needed and joined in with as many activities as she could.
I would have no problem leaving her again in their care.

Mum has been in the home for 18 months now. There have been issues which when highlighted are resolved but there is never any risk to Mum. The staff are lovely and genuinely care about the residents. Food is amazing and if not to their taste they will try and prepare what they want. The home is clean
and the housekeeping staff are always busy and ensuring a consistently high standard. Mum has maintained her strength and ability since being here and I am pleased that we chose this home above others.

Dad had to be admitted very quickly and the manager could not have been more helpful. At first, dad took a little while to settle in but now he seems far more relaxed and safe knowing there are health professionals on hand 24/7. My mother visited him last week as she suffered a stroke 8 weeks ago and
the staff were so helpful with making their reunion a special one. Thank you all.

My parents are in their late nineties and were living in their home alone. When mother had a stroke and could no longer speak, then father fell on the kerb, they both had to go to a care home. We (the family) were so lucky to find Beaumont Care and two rooms for them.

I was impressed by the arrangements for 2 wheelchairs (me with my husband) to be loaded on the minibus and taken to the garden centre where the residents were taken around and had coffee.
My husband was very happy and stimulated by the visit.

Not happy when Mum wants the loo. She presses the bell and waits for ages. Many a time she has been left upstairs for ages. Residents personal hygiene needs are not addressed in a timely manner. Most of the loyal staff have all left and bank staff do not seem to know what to do - just hanging about
doing nothing or on their phones.
Laundry keeps going missing, even though they are named. Also, their call bells never seem to be on their neck, usually on the end of their bed headboards.

Disappointed the home cannot keep the good key staff they had and are having to bring in agency who do not know the residents well. There is a lack of respect for resident's belongings and often residents are without their call bells on. Residents are encouraged to join in the daily activities which
I think is a good thing.

Since the appointment of the new manager in Autumn 2017 and the new events manager, there has been a huge improvement in every aspect of life at The Beaumont. The new manager is visible and approachable and is supported by a hard-working team.
The new events manager has transformed what is on offer
so now every afternoon there is some activity that residents are encouraged to join in and there are also now regular minibus trips out.
The receptionist is always welcoming, helpful, friendly and kind. The staff are kind and considerate.
The food is excellent.
This all contributes to a strong community feel where residents are encouraged to join in and are respected.

The centre is set in delightful surroundings with colourful gardens and hanging baskets.
Staff and management are very caring and friendly.
Recruitment of staff appears difficult particularly as there is no local bus service. More attention could be given to specialist gardening staff to ease the
burden on maintenance workers.

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.

Joined: 2021

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.


Jan

Jan

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.
