I just want to say how much we appreciate the tender care, given with such kindness, that Mum is receiving. Everyone is unreservedly patient and friendly. A special mention must go to one particular member of staff who is truly wonderful with, not just mum, but all the residents. His presence makes
such a difference and it is clear he is loved by residents and staff alike.

Gracewell nursing home is absolutely fantastic in every way. It's a beautifully kept place with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are wonderful. They are so caring with Mum and us and nothing is too much trouble. Mum is well looked after, clean and happy. The entertainment and activities they
do are so good. The residents love them and my Dad is welcome to participate as well. I can't thank Gracewell enough for the care they give to my poor Mum.

Since first arriving my mum has been treated with great respect and warmth from all the staff. Nothing is too much trouble. The entertainment, especially the music and movement, is a joy to her as she has always enjoyed singing and dancing. So, overall, I am delighted with the choice we made for Mum's
care. Thank you.

Dad has now been at Gracewell since August 2018, initially for respite and, latterly, as a permanent resident. Throughout, we have found the care provision and facilities at Gracewell to be first rate. In what will always be a difficult and emotional transition, Dad and our family, have been sensitively
supported and communicated with throughout. I'd highly recommend Gracewell, Adderbury.

My Nan has been here so far for four days, we have already seen an improvement, she looks a lot happier which is very reassuring. This is down to the excellent care she is receiving. Thank you all so much, you have been amazing!

My mother became a resident at Gracewell, Adderbury in November 2018 following a bout of pneumonia. Her illness had left her effectively bed-bound requiring 24/7 nursing care. Prior to her passing in January 2019 and during the intervening period, the care she received was at the highest level where
the Gracewell team went out of their way to ensure that she was made as comfortable as possible and her needs met. It is particularly important for her family to know that she was being well looked after in a very friendly environment.


Given our experience, the family would recommend Gracewell, Adderbury to anyone seeking a best in class nursing home for a family member.

The transfer of Mum from hospital to Gracewell was handled exceptionally well despite issues with the discharge. Mum has settled very well and the care shown by all the staff has been and continues to be first class. She is very happy in her new surroundings.

Dad moved into Gracewell of Adderbury two weeks ago but the whole process of moving him down from his home in the North of England close to his family has been made much easier by the team. He was able to visit as a "Resident for the Day" which enabled us to meet the staff, spend the day in the room
he had already been allocated pre-admission and sample the food and dining experience. Dad was assessed during the visit in a friendly, unobtrusive way and we came away assured that this would be the right place for him to come and live.


The staff have made all of the family welcome, and are ensuring that Dad eats and drinks well. There's a great atmosphere with lots of laughter and smiling faces (from residents, staff and visitors).

The most professional, knowledgeable, kind and courteous team of care and health care experts I could have hope for. The general manager, her deputy and home admissions administrator are hands-on, always ensuring the residents are comfortable, happy and feel like they have come home. Tons of activities
to keep residents engaged and living a full and active life. I live in New York and in the space of an hour, my dad's stroke wiped out his memory. After one week at Gracewell, he is happy, participating and clinically improving. I will be forever grateful.

My nan moved into Gracewell in the summer of 2017 and absolutely loved it. The staff were so friendly and helpful and she got all the care she needed from a simple chat to a cup of tea and anything else she required. Nothing was too much trouble.
I would highly recommend Gracewell of Adderbury to anyone
considering care for their loved one. Thank you so much for all you did

We were so lucky to have Gracewell so close to where we live and it was just right for Mum and our family. It is beautifully light and airy and spacious, and well looked after. The staff were always very welcoming to the family, and took great care to help personalise Mum's room. Mum was encouraged
to eat and the team showed great concern to find something she liked, and patience in feeding her. Her washing was done quickly and carefully, and the housekeeping team put name labels on all her clothes. The team were so kind to her and managed to make her smile, even towards the end. We were kept well informed about her condition and her medication, and the team went out of their way to support the family in Mum's last few days. I was comforted to know that the amazing team at Gracewell were there for her alongside the family.

Gracewell is a beautiful home, I couldn't think of anywhere more lovely for my Granny to spend her final months.
The general manager was so caring, knowledgeable and her team were all amazing.
Everyone we came across was friendly and professional and my Granny was treated with great care and dignity.
I
couldn't recommend Gracewell more.

The overall care for my father is of the highest level. Everyone at Gracewell's is very professional in whatever capacity of their employment. The environment is one of care and friendliness. Everyone cannot do enough to help my father and us, as his family. Gracewell's of Adderbury has only been
open since April this year with my father arriving at the end of July. The number of residents is gradually increasing but that is not taking away from the level of care which is given to the residents as the levels of staff are increasing pro rata.
The staff are very visible in each of the areas trying to ensure that each of the residents are happy in their environment and are there very quickly when any of the residents press their call button. The activities and entertainments are very well organised and very much enjoyed. My family are very grateful for the help everyone is giving my father - it has made the difficult decision of placing him in a care home, that little bit easier.

Moving my husband into care was the hardest decision I have ever had to take. He has only been at Gracewell of Adderbury for a week but already I realise that all the staff are united in determination to look after him, keep him safe, to understand him and his health needs, to help him to live as full
a life as possible and all this will happen in beautiful and serene surroundings.

My brother-in-law became a resident at Gracewell yesterday. I was immediately impressed by the welcome from all the staff and then by their care, as they got to know him. He is already happy in his new home. I wish everyone could receive such excellent end-of-life care. Gracewell is a truly wonderful
home.

The wonderful people at Gracewell gave my father the best care possible to the very end of his life. He had eight very happy months there.
I thank each and every one of Gracewell's staff for their hard work, dedication, professionalism and kindness to him and our family, especially during those
difficult end days.
You won't find a better care home in north Oxfordshire.

It's a little while since my last review but my views about Gracewell of Adderbury remain unchanged. It is a wonderful place. I cannot fault the support, care and love given to mum by the staff at Gracewell. The cleanliness and high standard of medical care are also excellent. Huge thanks to you all
who have helped and continue to help mum settle into her new life. She herself speaks very highly of everyone and tells me she is very happy at Gracewell of Adderbury - so reassuring for us all.

Our cousin has had 1 month's respite care and enjoyed the experience very much indeed. We do hope it will be possible to repeat the exercise three times a year, just to give us a break! It was a joy to visit our cousin as she was so happy and all staff so helpful and charming.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.964)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.964) out of 10 for Seccombe Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.964 for Seccombe Court is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 221 Ratings = 4.964

  • 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 Seccombe Court 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, 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.

Wojciech Kuczkowski

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2022

I’ve been a General Manager for over ten years in other care homes. I worked my way up from care roles into management. I originally trained in management and marketing in my native Poland.


I was very positive about working for Care UK because it has a great reputation, and puts residents at the heart of everything it does. Its values of Caring, Passionate and Teamwork closely echo my own.


There’s always something new to learn and to tackle in this role, but there’s a solution to every challenge and, ultimately, seeing residents enjoying life here at Seccombe Court is what makes everything worthwhile. Knowing I’m making a positive impact on their lives is what motivates me. I’m very proud of the way the team delivers exceptional care to all residents and their loved ones. Seeing that every day makes Seccombe Court an amazing place to work.
