About Cheney House
Here at Cheney House, we provide residential care for older adults in Banbury, West Northamptonshire, and we take real pride in knowing the people who live with us as individuals rather than just residents. We support people with a range of needs, including dementia, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We also offer respite care for those who need a short stay, whether that is to recover after a period in hospital or to give a family carer some time to rest. Whatever brings someone through our doors, we aim to make sure they feel genuinely at home here. Dementia care sits at the heart of much of what we do. We understand how disorientating and frightening that journey can be, both for the person living with dementia and for their family. We work hard to create an environment that feels calm, familiar and safe, and we take time to learn about each person's history, preferences and routines so that we can offer care that feels personal rather than one size fits all. We were recently assessed by the Care Quality Commission and received a rating of requires improvement. We want to be open about that. We have listened carefully to the feedback and we are working through clear, practical steps to address the areas identified. We believe honesty with families matters, and we would rather have that conversation directly than gloss over it. Our focus right now is on getting things right, and we welcome visits from anyone who wants to see for themselves how we are progressing. If you are looking for care for yourself or a loved one, we would be very happy to show you around and have an honest conversation about whether Cheney House could be the right fit.
