Cumnor Hill House

About Us

Cumnor Hill House is a nursing home in Oxford. We care for older people who need qualified nursing alongside everyday support, including many residents living with dementia, and we offer respite stays, whether after a hospital admission or to give a family carer a break. Registered nurses are on duty here at all hours. That is what allows wounds, medication, pain relief, continence, long term conditions and end of life care to be managed on site, and it means changes in a resident's health are noticed and acted on quickly rather than left until the next appointment. We work alongside GPs, community specialists and hospital teams so decisions get made calmly and in good time, and people do not have to move on as their needs increase. Nursing is not the whole of life, though, and we try not to let it set the tone of the place. Residents choose when to get up, what to eat, where to sit and how much company they want. Rooms hold people's own furniture and photographs, and visitors are welcome without appointment. For residents living with dementia we keep the surroundings familiar and the staffing consistent, and we take the time to understand what lies behind distress rather than simply managing it. The Care Quality Commission rated us good overall at our most recent inspection. Please arrange to come and look round.
