About Fairfield Residential Home
Fairfield Residential Home is a residential care home in Oxford, Oxfordshire, for older people who need more support than can easily be managed at home, including people living with dementia. We offer respite stays as well as permanent places. We help with the things that have become difficult, such as washing and dressing, medication, meals, appointments and keeping in touch with family, and we try hard not to take over the things that have not. If somebody has always poured their own tea, chosen their own clothes or wanted an hour alone before speaking to anyone, that should continue here. Preferences of that kind are not small details, they are what makes somewhere a home rather than a placement. For people living with dementia, familiarity does most of the work. Consistent staff, an unhurried pace and a routine that follows the person prevent far more distress than anything we could do in response to it. We ask families to tell us about the life someone had before they came to us, because knowing the past helps us understand the present. Respite stays can help someone regain confidence after a spell in hospital, or give a family carer a genuine rest. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering residential care in Oxford, please arrange to visit and see how the home feels.
