Daily life
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.
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.
Are you in need of a break this winter?
Book a respite stay for peace of mind
Caring for a loved one can be consuming, leaving little time for the demands of winter planning and hosting. If you need to take some time away from your everyday caring role at any point in the run up to, or during the winter period, we’re welcoming new residents safely, with our short stay, respite breaks.
During this unprecedented time, 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 and the extra things we are doing to keep our residents, families and teams safe.
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.
