About Oxenford House
Here at Oxenford House, we provide residential care for older people in the heart of Oxford, Oxfordshire. We are a care home that genuinely feels like a home, and that matters deeply to everyone who lives and works here. We support a wide range of needs, including dementia care, mental health support, care for those living with a physical disability, and support for residents with visual or hearing impairment. We also offer respite care for those who need a short break or are recovering from illness, giving families reassurance that their loved ones are in safe, familiar hands. Whatever brings someone to us, we take the time to understand the person behind the care needs. Our approach is straightforward. We listen. We get to know each resident as an individual, learning what matters to them, what their routines look like, and how they like their day to feel. That knowledge shapes everything we do, from how we provide personal care to how we plan activities and mealtimes. We are proud to hold a Good rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the consistent effort our whole team puts in day to day. It is not something we take for granted. We continue to look at how we can improve, and we welcome feedback from residents and families as part of that process. Our team brings a real mix of experience and warmth. People who work here tend to stay, and that consistency makes a genuine difference to the residents who call Oxenford House home. If you are considering care for yourself or someone you love, we would be very happy to talk things through, show you around, and answer any questions you might have. We believe the best way to understand what we offer is simply to come and see us.
