About Prestine Home Care
At Prestine Home Care, we support people in Witney and across Oxfordshire to live comfortably and independently in their own homes. We know how important it is for people to stay in familiar surroundings, and our role is to make that as straightforward and reassuring as possible for the people we care for and their families. We work with a range of people, including older adults, younger adults, and those living with dementia or mental health conditions. Each person we support has their own story, their own routines, and their own preferences, and we take the time to understand all of that before we begin. Care is not something we believe should be rushed or one size fits all, so we work closely with individuals and their loved ones to build a plan that genuinely fits their life. Dementia care is an area we approach with particular thoughtfulness. We understand how disorientating and difficult this condition can be, both for the person living with it and for those around them. We aim to provide consistency and calm, which can make a real difference to someone's sense of security and wellbeing. For those living with mental health conditions, we are mindful that good support goes well beyond practical tasks. We aim to build trusting, respectful relationships where people feel heard and understood rather than simply looked after. Whether someone needs a few hours of assistance each week or more regular support throughout the day, we are here to help in a way that feels right for them. We are proud to be based in Witney and to be part of this community, and we take our responsibility to the people who invite us into their homes genuinely seriously. If you would like to find out more about how we could help, we would be very happy to have a conversation.

More about the care at Prestine Home Care
Dementia Care at Prestine Home Care
Good dementia care at home tends to rely on steady routines, familiar faces, patient communication and a calm approach when someone becomes confused or upset. Prestine Home Care is registered for dementia care and its own description suggests it aims for consistency and a settled atmosphere, though as it has not yet been rated by the CQC families will want to explore this in detail themselves. Useful questions include how the agency matches workers to someone living with dementia, what training those workers have received, and how they respond when a person is distressed, resistant to care or at risk of leaving the home unsafely. It is also worth asking how the plan is updated as the condition progresses, and how family members are kept informed between visits.
Home Care at Prestine Home Care
Home care is visiting support in a person's own house or flat, arranged in calls that might last anything from a short medication prompt to longer visits covering personal care, meals and companionship. Prestine Home Care is registered by the CQC to deliver personal care across Witney and the wider Oxfordshire area, though it has not yet received a rating. Privately funded home care in the South East typically costs £29 to £35 an hour, while Oxfordshire County Council commissions care at its own agreed rate for people who qualify after a needs and financial assessment. Anyone considering the agency should ask how initial assessments are carried out, how care plans are reviewed, and how continuity of carer is managed. It is also sensible to check what happens if a visit needs to be rearranged.

Indicative hourly rates across the South East sit between £29 and £35, with Oxfordshire County Council typically funding at a lower agreed rate for eligible people.
