The types of care we provide

Convalescence Care

Support to get people feeling their best before returning home after time in hospital, an operation or a period of illness.

Dementia Care

A person with dementia may need more care and support as their condition progresses. Care at our home can help them to live well with dementia.

Permanent Care

From the day our residents move in, we do everything to help them settle in as well as offering support for the whole family.

Palliative Care

Working closely with GPs and other health specialists, we make sure individuals are as comfortable as possible. We understand and respect their wishes and provide support for families too.

Day Care

Day care offers a friendly, refreshing option for people still living at home, but who might need some extra help, or just want a change of scenery during the day.

Respite Care

Respite stays can be tailored to each person’s individual care needs which can be from a few days or for as long as is needed.

Living well with Dementia

We are proud to be the only care home group to have our own unique award-winning dementia training ‘My World’ which is accredited by City and Guilds. It highlights the importance of meaningful activities and a stimulating environment for people living with dementia, in addition to addressing clinical aspects of care.

Keeping things personal

At Wytham House

The wonderful surroundings at Wytham House 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 Wytham House. 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 Wytham House 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 Wytham House, 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 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 regular morning walks.

Out and about

Friends and family are welcome to visit whenever they like, and where better for a catch up than the lounges? 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.

Meet the Manager

Amanda Cordery

I began my care career working in home care and supported living roles, supporting adults with disabilities and the elderly. I have always been very passionate about elderly care so to further developed myself by studying Adult Nursing at Oxford Brookes University. Following my studies, I was a Ward Nurse at Witney Community Hospital, a District Nurse, and a Tissue Viability Link Nurse. During this time, I gained my mentorship qualification and taught wound care and pressure prevention within the local community. I continued to develop my career as a Deputy Manager in a Dementia Care Home. Then, in 2018 I joined Caring Homes as the Deputy Manager and Clinical Lead of Wytham House, before progressing to the role of Care Home Manager.

At Wytham House the residents we care for each have a personal history with professions and hobbies. They have lived independently as highly respected individuals and it’s important that when they make Wytham House their home we continue to treat them with the dignity, respect, compassion and care they deserve.

Testimonials

Families we’re helping

The staff were exceptionally caring and respectful to him, treated with dignity. He was a retired GP and they treated him as such, never talking down to him. Excellent staff and end of life care exceptional.

Sarah S - Daughter of resident, Wytham House

Atmosphere at the care home was lovely and the caring for my mother was very attentive. The nursing staff were exceptional in terms of knowledge and the home felt safe and comfortable for all.

Dawn T - Daughter of resident, Wytham House

The staff are attentive, quickly picking up on what 'works' for Mum to make her feel safe and care for her. They really get to know each patient, their individual needs and requirements, in a caring, sensitive and personal manner.

What customers say

Independent Reviews

Gallery

There are different spaces on each floor giving residents plenty of choice and more importantly different places to spend their day which increases the feeling of individuality and independence.

Join friends and families in the lounge to enjoy the morning sunshine or you may prefer the evening sunset. The changes in daylight throughout the day help to signal the passing of time to maintain a normal sleeping pattern.

Dementia friendly crockery can be easier to see against a table cloth and the lip on one side gives greater depth to improve the dining experience.

Activity rooms, Hair Salon, Cinema and Bistro are designed with residents and their visitors in mind.

Open shelving can help a person living with dementia to find the right clothes and can minimise confusion.

Electronic care plans can be accessed by family to keep them up to date. A silent nurse call system can be less distressing and does not disturb other residents.

Doors to en-suite wet rooms are fitted with two-way hinges, allowing them to be opened inwards and outwards, so if a resident should fall inside the bathroom, the door can be opened outwards to allow help quickly and safely

Gardening at Wytham House and getting our hands dirty!

11th May 2020

We all enjoyed gardening and spent a lovely day potting new plants & re potting those that had outgrown their pots. Getting our hands dirty with earth & compost is just part of the fun. It’s also good to get back in touch with nature
