About Heights Nursing Home
Banbury Heights Nursing Home cares for people across Oxfordshire who need qualified nursing alongside help with daily living. Our residents include older people, adults living with dementia, people with learning disabilities and autistic adults, those living with mental ill health, adults with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss. We also offer respite stays. We will not dress up our inspection position. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We have been through the findings carefully, and we have changed how care is planned and recorded, how staff are supervised and how quickly concerns reach someone who can act on them. Some of that work is still under way and we would rather tell you so. If you ask what specifically went wrong and what specifically has changed, you will get specifics. Meanwhile, the people living here need good care today. Registered nurses are on duty at every hour, which means health needs are met on site by people who know the resident rather than through an unsettling hospital admission. For residents living with dementia, that continuity is often the most protective thing available. Respite care is offered for people recovering after illness or surgery and for family carers who need a break. Banbury is easy to reach and we would encourage you to visit unannounced, look around properly and ask us the difficult questions.
