About Woodview
Woodview is a residential care home in Didcot. We support a wide range of adults, from older people who can no longer manage at home through to younger adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people who live with sight or hearing loss. Running a home for such a mixed group only works if nobody is treated as a category. Every person here has their own plan, built with them and with whoever they want involved, setting out what they want help with and what they would rather keep doing themselves. We revisit it properly rather than signing it off unchanged year after year. Life here is not heavily organised. People decide when to get up, what to do, how much company they want and what they eat. Where someone wants to get out, keep up with college or work, or stay in regular contact with family, we make that happen. For autistic people and people living with dementia alike, we pay attention to routine and to warning people in advance when something is changing. Respite stays are available as well as permanent places, which suits families needing a planned break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at options in this part of Oxfordshire, please come and see the home.
