My dear friend has been a service user of Oxford House for more than seven years now and this has allowed her to live a safe and comfortable life in her own home. The carers are kind and thoughtful and I would thoroughly recommend them. Thank you ladies!

Review from A M (Daughter of Client) published on 21 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Oxfordhouse has been providing home care for my mum for over 3 years.
She has been through so much with previous carers, and the difference since being with Oxford House has been truly life-changing.
They are not just carers to us,they have become like family.
My mum has built a bond with all the staff and so have i.
The kindness, respect, and genuine care they all show my mum every single day mean the world. It's not just the way they look after her physical needs, but the warmth and companionship they bring into her life.
She feels safe, valued, and happy, and that is priceless.

From the carers to the office staff, every single one of them has been incredible. Their dedication, professionalism, and compassion never go unnoticed. Even down to how they always keep me informed of any concerns, ensuring that my mum gets the best possible care. Knowing she is in such good hands brings me so much comfort.

Reply from Donna Doyle, Manager at Oxford House Community Care

Thank you so much for your heartfelt words. It's an absolute privilege to care for your mum, and we're so grateful to be part of your lives. Knowing she feels safe, valued, and happy means everything to us. Your kind words will be shared with the whole team-they'll be thrilled to hear them! We're always here for you both. Warmest regards,Oxford House Team

Overall Experience
I am suffering from heart failure. Have struggled a long time on my own but finally had to admit I needed help. Arranged through an organisation. Apart from marrying my wife, it's the best thing I ever did.
An hour a day, 5 days a week in just four weeks: My long neglected maisonette has lost its deep patina of dust, my carpets have never been so clean, my shower sparkles. I no longer dread weekends when I had to take my rubbish out - my carer and I bag it together but my carer carries it down a ramp and into the bins. I seek to do the onerous tasks like the food waste bin - but am overridden.

I'm aware that my carer is continually assessing me (!!) and checking that I'm good to go. My breakfast is cooked and served - I'm in a rut, eat an easy over-fried egg and toasted waffle every morning, plus a mug of coffee, black, half a teaspoon of sugar, level teaspoon of instant coffee, plus a yogurt or piece of fruit. All sussed by my carers and provisioned with a smile.

We have just started to use Oxford House Community Care for my mum. We have been very pleased with our care. The team have been very helpful. My mum has a regular carer which is essential for dementia patients. The carer is excellent and treats Mum with dignity, and is kind and self-motivated.

I have been visiting my parents from Australia and just wanted to give very positive feedback about the carer who comes to help with my dad. She is punctual, polite, very caring and a total credit to your service.

Please pass on my thanks to her and wish her all the best with her career... she told me she wants to train in nursing. She would be excellent in nursing.

Overall Experience

Having promised my husband I would care for him at home in his last months, I could not have managed his needs without the help and support of Oxford House. Their carers are calm, professional, compassionate and always reliable. The backup office team are unfailingly helpful in liaising with other health service providers and always having time to listen to concerns and problems, often offering solutions and good advice. The training is excellent, and I thank the whole team for aiding me through this difficult time.

Reply from Donna Doyle, Manager at Oxford House Community Care
It was our pleasure supporting you to fulfil your promise, we are pleased we could help under difficult circumstances.

Wishing you all the best.

Positive points of the carers are: their attention to details that need doing but cannot always be expressed.

Positive points of Managerial staff are: ready to listen, consistent helpful attitude to put things right, to ensure smooth transition of any changes in health.

Overall Experience

Staff were very informative and took the time to find out all that they needed to know to help the client - from management to carers level. Staff kept in touch to see if any more help was needed. Suggestions of any equipment that could help more (especially with mobility) was quickly forthcoming. I did not need four calls per day, but the morning call was extremely helpful, but I could ask for more calls if required.

Overall Experience

The administration department dealt effectively and with patience and understanding to our various date changes caused by operation cancellations. All the carers were polite, friendly and understanding of our circumstances. They had a very good understanding of what was required to get my wife to bed each evening and carried out their tasks with kindness and efficiency. One, in particular, had a very good personal relationship with my wife, and it was a pleasure to hear them laughing together.

Overall Experience
I have been a client of Oxford House since being discharged from hospital about 1 year ago. I receive 3 visits a day from one of the carers, a 1-hour visit in the morning, and a 30-minute visit at lunchtime and another 30-minute visit in the evening. Each visit includes providing a meal and for the morning visit, I am also assisted to get showered and dressed.

The carers are caring and helpful and I cannot praise them too highly for their professionalism. Overall, I am very pleased with the service I receive from Oxford House Community Care.

We continue to be very pleased with the care provided to my mother in her own home. Her carer is more like a friend and is a very welcome visitor. Our mother is able to stay in her own home and can manage well with the support her carer provides on a daily basis. The carer is very reliable, caring and will always go the extra mile to ensure our mother is safe and well.

I do not have enough praise for this wonderful care company. Oxford House have been looking after my father for many years, the last few being even more challenging. The care staff are amazing, so caring and kind.

Most recently the 'Registered Manager' has gone above and beyond not only to care for my father's needs but also my mother's welfare. Thank you so much, I cannot thank you enough, Oxford House are extremely lucky to have you with your amazing organisational skills, compassion and care.
