I would not recommend this care home for any aspect of rehabilitation even though it offers this on the website-particularly stroke. From the time my mother (recovering from a stroke) arrived until she left, she had minimal support to rehabilitate. She was stopped from any activity unless with her physio,
which she paid for extra and went backwards in terms of both health and mobility. Minimal accommodation was made for her eating difficulties with regards to swallowing and food had to be largely brought in by her family. She was moved to a quality facility and then started to make fantastic progress - she is now happily living back at home.

My mother is receiving very good care. The staff are very friendly and obliging. Mum is always clean and tidy.
The meals look very appetising and nourishing. The room is always clean and well aired. If mum had all her faculties, I know she would be happy living here.

My heartfelt thanks to everyone for the outstanding care you have given to my mum during the final weeks of her life. Her time with you was short, but made so special by your warmth, good humour and compassion. The support you have given to me has been exceptional and I am so pleased that we chose Oxford
Beaumont for mum's end of life care.

This is a good nursing home where Mum is well cared for. The staffing levels are adequate and all the staff, whatever their role, are friendly and welcoming.
It is not perfect, there are issues with communication, but these are not detrimental to the residents.
If I have any issues they have been
dealt with promptly by the manager.

My husband's care has exceeded our expectations. Everyone has gone out of their way to make the transition from home to care as easy and stress-free as possible. For both of us, without exception, we have been treated in a friendly, respectful and compassionate way.
This is a long term situation for
my husband, but I truly feel we couldn't have chosen better. Many thanks to all at Beaumont, Oxford. My markings of "excellent" are true and warranted.

Oxford Beaumont has taken care of my mother for nearly 4 years. Staff are helpful and cheerful and the standard of care is good. My father was here for 2 1/2 years and died here in September 2015. Since then the staff have taken special care of my mother by paying her extra attention, particularly in
the months after my father's death. I am well satisfied with their service.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.898)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.898) 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.898 for Barchester Oxford Beaumont Care Community is calculated as follows: ( (266 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 295 Ratings = 4.898

  • 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 25 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 25 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.

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.

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.
