About Oxenford House

Oxenford House provides accommodation for up to 25 older people in a purpose-built building. On inspection, 20 people were living at the home. The home had implemented robust entrance procedures including health checks to ensure visitors were symptom-free and in good health.

Staff had introduced additional activities to promote people's wellbeing during the pandemic. The home maintained high standards of cleanliness with a rigorous cleaning schedule followed by a dedicated domestic team, and inspectors found the premises to be spotlessly clean.
