Heathfield House nursing home is managed by an experienced nursing Manager who has worked with older people for several years. She is supported by a team of nurses, qualified carers and professional administrate staff.
All our staff receive regular training updates and have been employed via a thorough recruitment process which includes references, police checks and interviews.
Heathfield House focuses on providing a safe, homely environment where each resident is treated as an individual, with their social, spiritual, cultural, emotional and physical needs being assessed and met by our competent nursing team. We provide emphasis on promoting independence, privacy, respect and well-being.
There is an activities program and there are visits from various external musicians, singers, entertainers and regular services provided by the local clergy. The care home, located in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside, also has a large garden in which residents can relax, entertain visitors and where some activities can be carried out weather permitting. We also benefit from a hairdresser and Chiropodist who visits regularly.
Heathfield House provides a well-balanced, nutritious menu and homemade cakes for the residents to enjoy; any special diets can also be catered for.
