What this means for your family

Oxford Nursing Home is frequently praised for its dedicated rehab and nursing staff, making it a strong option for short-term recovery. However, the facility is physically aging and suffers from persistent cleanliness issues; families should prioritize an in-person tour to assess the environment and specifically ask about their communication protocols for medical emergencies.

Key Review Excerpts

My mom was at Oxford for 2 weeks, the care and rehab was exceptional. Ms. Oliver and Sheila were very understanding of patient and family needs, and the rehab got my mom walking comfortably in a few weeks after her fall.

Rehab patient's family · 2025★★★★

My dad has been at Oxford Nursing Home for a couple of months. The staff treat him with dignity and respect. It may not be the nicest building, but the staff are truly amazing.

Long-term resident's family · 2023★★★★

The facility is very old remind me back in the day where the patients was on a ward. The nursing did not notify the family that the patient was transferred to hospital.
