About Us

We are a nursing home in Banbury, caring for people whose needs require qualified nursing alongside help with daily living. We look after older people and younger adults, and a good deal of our work is with people living with dementia.

Having registered nurses on duty means medication, pain, wounds, continence and the difficulties people have with eating and drinking can be managed properly and without waiting, and that a change in somebody's health is noticed early. Necessary as that is, it is not the whole of a life, so we try to make sure people still choose when they get up, what they wear, what they would like to eat and who they want beside them.

Nursing care for a person living with dementia asks for patience above all else. We spend time learning about somebody's history, work, music and habits and the things that comfort or unsettle them, because that knowledge helps far more than procedure when a person is frightened or cannot place where they are.

We work closely with general practitioners, community teams and hospital staff, keep families informed as a matter of course, and where someone is nearing the end of life we concentrate on comfort, dignity and the company of those they love. Respite stays are available as well.

Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Please come and see us.
