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.

As a care worker myself, I was mortified by the lack of care my brother was shown. Thankfully he was only there for two weeks prior to his passing. I strongly recommend that full training should be given to the "carers" in all aspects of "care" so that they understand how important it is that the patients/residents
are tended to with compassion and dignity.

It is always a daunting time for anyone going into a home (care/nursing) and their relatives, but since my mother has been here we have all been super impressed and eternally grateful for the level of care given. As a family we only want the best level of care for our mother and this home provides this.
Staff are always polite, friendly and professional. At no point (in 5 years) has our mum not been washed, dressed and made to feel special. The care given here is marvellous. The food is healthy and well-balanced and has helped to manage some of the more pressing medical needs (diabetes). I could not recommend this home more, it is a special place and I am very grateful for everything they do.

I entrusted this care home to care and nurse my ex husband. There was no care or compassion shown to him in the short time he was a resident, in the last week of his life he was left in pain with no pain medication prescribed until I intervened. The staff showed no empathy to him or family members.
While residing in the home his watch went missing which was not only valuable but was of great sentimental value. I would not recommend this home to care for your loved ones.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5

Sadly, in my opinion, this care home has deteriorated dramatically in the last 12 months. Now run by Aria Care, there have been 3 different managers and 3 different deputy managers in the last year and a large number of permanent staff have left, so the home now employs a lot of agency staff. Both activities
officers resigned in the summer, and have not yet been replaced, so the residents spend large periods of time sat in front of a television, (often asleep) instead of getting proper mental stimulation and physical activity as they had before. Communication between both members of staff and between the home and relatives is not good and on occasions, this leads to mistakes. The permanent staff that are left appear to be under a lot of pressure and there is often a strained atmosphere in the home. We have been promised improvements by the management for several months now but to date there haven't been any. What was once a lovely home, in my view has now reached a very low point.

Mother hates being incapacitated, who wouldn’t. She regularly criticises us for not taking her in. “Three daughters and not one wants me to live with them”. Sorry, but no. We could not give her the 24-hour care, support and attention that she gets from the wonderful staff at Oaken Holt. They are truly
amazing. They treat her so well, such patience, ensuring all her needs are met and she can be very demanding. Regularly they go above and beyond. Kindly helping to apply a bit of makeup, pencilled-in eyebrows are a must even at 92!
Thank you all for the outstanding care you provide. We are extremely grateful.

Thank you so much for all the excellent care you gave to my mother. You looked after her wonderfully well, both physically and mentally. She greatly appreciated the comfort of her room, and its great views of the grounds, the delicious food, the good company of the other residents, and the wide range
of activities you provided. We have lovely photos of her with a huge smile on her face! But what you gave her that she valued most was a real sense of friendship of being looked after by people who really cared for her, and for whom she cared in return. For a woman who had spent her life looking after others, Oaken Holt was a perfect place for her as kind, caring and considerate as she was.

My father arrived at Oaken Holt Nursing and Residential Home, in May 2022 and remained in their care until October 2023 when social services decided he should move homes. This was not our choice. Oaken Holt staff, particularly the Deputy Home Manager, did everything that they could to try and keep him
within their care. They tried to facilitate a move to Wytham House, but social services would not accept it. It was with great sadness that we had to move my father from this wonderful facility. In fact, we did not move him, staff from Oaken Holt took him to the new home and helped settle him in. This is the standard of dedication from the excellent staff.


During my father's time at the home we were very happy with the care that he received. The staff were kind and caring and made the time to build special relationships with him. They took him for daily walks outside and trips to the pub, which my father loved. I cannot speak more highly about what the staff did for my father. Thanks to all.

My mother continues to receive excellent care. The staff are friendly, kind and caring. They treat her with respect and often go beyond what is expected to make sure her needs/wishes are met. The home has a lovely, calm atmosphere. It is beautifully decorated, and the extensive gardens are well-kept.
My only concern is the smaller number of staff on duty at weekends.

My mother-in-law spent just over 2 weeks in respite care while we were away. She was very well looked after and said the meals were delicious and varied. It was a clean and pleasant environment.

When our Mother was transferred to Oaken Holt Nursing and Residential Home in 2018 she was recovering from hospitalisation with pneumonia and had been very close to passing away. Thanks to the exceptional care she received from all the wonderful staff at Oaken Holt, she not only recovered but flourished
in her new surroundings, taking part in activities, outings, and Scrabble competitions and enjoying all her meals and endless cups of tea. All the family were able to enjoy her being around for the next 5 years and during that time she even got to meet her great-grandchildren from Australia. Sadly she recently passed away following a fall, but she had previously enjoyed the healthiest period of her later life and that was solely due to the unbelievable care and attention that she received. I would not hesitate to recommend Oaken Holt to anyone who requires care in their later life.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.305)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.305) out of 10 for Oaken Holt Nursing and Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.305 for Oaken Holt Nursing and Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (196 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (33 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 269 Ratings = 4.305

  • 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 Oaken Holt Nursing and Residential Home is based on 19 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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 19 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.
