About Framland
At Framland, we provide residential care for older people in the heart of Wantage, Oxfordshire. We support a range of needs including dementia care, care for people with learning disabilities or autism, and short term respite stays, so families can feel confident that whatever the circumstances, there is a place here for their loved one. We know that moving into a care home, or even just considering it, can feel like a significant and sometimes daunting step. Our aim is to make that transition as smooth and reassuring as possible, taking time to get to know each person properly before they arrive and continuing to listen carefully once they are settled with us. The people we support are not defined by their care needs, and we try hard to reflect that in the way we go about our day. Life at Framland is built around routine, familiarity and genuine relationship. We believe that feeling at home matters enormously, and we work to create an environment where people feel safe, respected and able to live as independently as they wish. Whether someone needs a gentle level of support or more hands on assistance throughout the day, we adjust to what works best for them rather than the other way around. We are pleased that our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an overall rating of Good, which reflects the consistent effort our team puts in day to day. We do not take that rating for granted and are always looking at where we can do better. If you are exploring options for yourself or someone close to you, we would genuinely welcome the chance to show you around and have a conversation. Wantage is a lovely town and Framland is very much part of its community.
