Welcome to Oaken Holt Nursing and Residential Home Farmoor, Oxford, Oxfordshire

Oaken Holt Nursing and Residential Home is a Victorian mansion set on the 23-acre Oaken Holt Estate with our sister home Wytham House also on the grounds in Farmoor. Oaken Holt has been updated to meet the latest care standards whilst retaining some charming original features such as oak panelling, painted ceilings and plaster cornices. There are stunning lounges and dining areas, a bistro and hair salon as well as a library. Residents are often popping over to the shops in Witney and Kidlington, or to a local pub for lunch and we've enjoyed mystery tours of Oxford and boat trips on the Thames. Our residents and families enjoy feeling a part of the local community where residents and local people meet at our events including barbecues, cheese and wine evenings and coffee mornings.

Latest guidance reviews the need for isolation for non-Hospital admissions

The Government has announced that admissions are of less risk if a person has been appropriately vaccinated and the person is being admitted from their own Home and not from another Care Home or Hospital setting.

Residents may be admitted to a care home from the community without needing to complete a 14-day self-isolation period, if they satisfy the requirements. Ask for details.

Testimonials

Families we’re helping

Overall we have been very pleased with the high standard of nursing and care as well as housekeepers, gardeners, etc. for the care home. It has been a huge positive factor in keeping Dad happy and as healthy as he can be.

F S - Daughter of resident, Oaken Holt Nursing and Residential Home

During his stay, he was happy and extremely well cared for. The nursing staff and carers were very professional, treated him with respect at all times, and showed great compassion. If he could no longer stay at home, then this was the next best thing.

Lynne A - Daughter of resident, Oaken Holt Nursing and Residential Home

Everyone we met throughout my mother's stay was professional, friendly and compassionate. They always gave us as much time as we needed if we had questions. We could not have asked for more from Oaken Holt and recommend it unreservedly.

Keeping things personal

At Oaken Holt

The wonderful surroundings at Oaken Holt are matched by the standard of care our team brings residents. We love learning as much as we can about the people we care for, so your loved one’s time is tailored to their individual needs, interests and preferences. This can be as small as knowing when they like to wake up, to how they like their tea, and everything in between.

We give as much independence as possible, letting individuals choose how to run the home and if they prefer dinner in front of the TV, or even dusting their own room, we’ll make it happen. Just as putting their own stamp on their bedroom, we’ll help them to personalise it with the things they love.
