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

Our home is free from Coronavirus

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.

We're open for safe admissions, managing visits and routinely testing everyone. Our strict Infection Control Assurance measures are in place to safeguard our residents, colleagues and all visiting professionals. Weekly testing of all colleagues and monthly testing of all residents is being carried out as per current government guidance. New residents benefit from a personalised wellbeing plan during their initial 7-14 days and we welcome named visitors to help them settle in.

Daily Life

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.

Every need catered for

Mealtimes are an important part of daily life at Oaken Holt Nursing and Residential Home. We know eating well and the social experience of dining are key to health and wellbeing. Our chefs select a different menu each day, creating lots of home-cooked dishes with fresh ingredients to choose from. Using their in-depth knowledge of nutrition, they cater for any special diets and needs.

A real occasion

The dining rooms at Oaken Holt Nursing and Residential Home are laid out in a restaurant style, with tablecloths, folded napkins, crockery and glassware. If preferred, meals can also be served in an individual’s room.

A chance to relax

We make sure mealtimes are a relaxed, enjoyable experience. Team members sit with residents to have a chat and support those who need a little extra encouragement or help.

In good company

Visitors are welcome to join us for a morning coffee or stay for a meal. On special occasions, we can also arrange intimate get-togethers and parties for families and friends.

Keep doing what you love

At Oaken Holt Nursing and Residential Home, there’s something to tickle everyone’s fancy – from the craft room to the hair salon, our packed schedule of events and activities, to picnics in the stunning grounds. And if residents prefer to spend one-on-one time with a member of the team, they can read the paper, pop to the shops or have a pint in the local pub. We have strong connections with the Farmoor community, many of our residents invite them to join in our activities or even run their own here.

Keeping busy

There are group activities to enjoy seven days a week, including crafts, quizzes, films and live entertainment. We also love one-to-one time, with reminiscence and pamper sessions.

Out and about

Friends and family are welcome to visit whenever they like, and where better for a catch up than the bistro? If residents fancy a day trip, we’ll often pop out for tea and cake too.

House proud

We encourage residents to get involved with activities around the house. Simple things like gardening, hosting afternoon tea or laying the table for dinner can spark up friendships and help residents settle in.

You'll be in good company this summer

Book a respite stay for peace of mind

Our respite and permanent stays offer the chance to see some new faces and try out some new things with as much or as little support as you need. There's no minimum stay and you can book in advance, subject to availability.

Many residents have chosen us for peace of mind so they feel safe in the knowledge that care and support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week should they need it, as well as staying connected. Whether you're looking for permanent care or a respite stay, ask us about our latest availability in our homes and the extra things we are doing to keep our residents, families and teams safe.

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.
