Reviews for Oxford Beaumont Care Community

"My mother received first-class wonderful care. All the staff are kind caring and do everything they can to make life happy for residents. I cannot recommend the Beaumont highly enough. She really enjoyed in particular the daily activities which were varied. It really was a home-from-home experience for her and we are truly grateful for the care afforded to her."

"My wife has been a resident of this excellent care home for 18 months. This is an award-winning home surrounded by beautiful gardens in the heart of Boars Hill close to Oxford. Here is a well-structured, well-run and refreshing management system creating an efficient and happy environment where staff and residents work and live in a family-type atmosphere. First impressions are so important, and the reception area and reception staff do not disappoint, they are so welcoming and willing to help. The nurses are caring and are always available for advice if required. Meals are served in a nice dining room and the food is varied with a good choice of excellent food. The care home is always clean, and the rooms are kept tidy, and clothing is washed regularly. A hugely successful element of the Beaumont is the proactive activities department. There is always something going on and there are regular visits from a variety of entertainers. Trips in the minibus are frequently arranged to take residents to local places of interest. Possibly the most important element of any care home are the carers, those unheralded people who go about their daily work often unnoticed. Here at the Beaumont are the very best of carers, excellent carers where nothing is too much trouble and where there is an obvious bond between them and the residents. Sometimes a very difficult and demanding job but where, at the Beaumont, they go about their work quietly and give superb care and dignity to those they look after. I am grateful to the Beaumont for the care given to my wife."

"A lovely 'family' care home. Wonderful staff, very caring, kind and showed great patience. Supportive to the 'extended' family and always happy to listen. Great range of activities. Excellent meals."

"In the short time (10 days), that my husband was in the Oxford Beaumont Care Home before he died, I was more than happy with the kindness and care he received from all the staff. I would not hesitate to recommend the care home."

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I am updating my review of the Oxford Beaumont as my mother has now been a resident for nearly three years. The nursing home market is competitive but the only thing that matters is how well your loved one is looked after. The Oxford Beaumont is not as modern as some places (fancy bars for visitors at some homes are just for show in my opinion). What the Oxford Beaumont offers is an exceptional level of care and a proactive approach to nursing. There is a high ratio of highly qualified and experienced nurses on duty at all times as well as carers. The peace of mind you have, is that the staff and managers will go out of their way to make sure your relative is well cared for. The team are responsive, caring and warm to residents and visitors alike. They managed the COVID-19 times safely and continue to look after my mum really well. I would recommend this nursing home to you if you are looking for a place for your loved one."
