On 27 July 2018, Healthwatch Oxfordshire undertook an Enter and View visit to Penhurst Gardens as part of a programme to look at the quality of life of residents at their request. It is a nursing home for 58 residents. They met with five residents, six staff, three relatives and the care home manager.
They found that Penhurst Gardens is a very open and welcoming care home in excellent condition. The space is well laid out and everything is of good quality. Residents appeared very happy living there. The staff receive regular high-quality support, training and supervision. Penhurst Gardens engages well with the local community and has many varied and interesting activities to offer its residents.
There were three recommendations about expanding day trip provision, involving the residents in menu planning and fixing the fountain in the garden.
The report includes a response from the provider to the first two recommendations
