Penhurst Gardens Care Home

About Us

We at Penhurst Gardens Care Home are proud to offer dedicated nursing care in the historic market town of Chipping Norton, nestled within the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside. Our home provides a warm, welcoming environment where older people, younger adults, and those living with dementia receive the compassionate, around the clock support they deserve.

Set within the picturesque OX postcode area of the South East, our home benefits from the peaceful charm of Chipping Norton whilst remaining well connected for visiting family and friends. The surrounding Cotswold landscape lends a sense of calm and continuity to daily life, and our setting has been thoughtfully arranged to feel less like an institution and more like a true home, where residents can enjoy familiar comforts in a safe and comfortable atmosphere.

Our specialisms span nursing care, dementia care, support for older people, and care for younger adults with complex needs. In practice, this means our team is equipped to deliver skilled clinical attention alongside the everyday kindnesses that make life meaningful. For families, it offers the reassurance that as a loved one's needs evolve, whether through advancing age, changing health, or the progression of dementia, the right level of expert support is already in place. We focus on understanding each resident as an individual, taking the time to learn their preferences, life stories, and routines so that care feels personal rather than procedural.

Dementia care at our home is approached with patience and empathy. We recognise that every person's journey is unique, and we work closely with families to create gentle, structured days that promote dignity and wellbeing. For younger adults, we provide care that respects their independence and aspirations, supporting them to live as fully as possible whilst receiving the nursing input they require.

The Care Quality Commission has rated Penhurst Gardens Care Home as Good overall, with ratings of Good across the Safe, Effective, Caring and Well led domains. We are particularly proud to hold an Outstanding rating for being Responsive, which reflects our genuine commitment to tailoring care around the individual needs, wishes and changing circumstances of each person we support. For families, this rating offers meaningful assurance that residents are listened to, valued, and supported in ways that truly matter to them.

Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the weight of that choice. We warmly invite you to get in touch, ask questions, and discover how we can support your loved one with the skilled, kind, and responsive care they deserve here at Penhurst Gardens Care Home.
