About Cherwood House Care Centre
We provide residential and nursing care in Bicester for people whose needs range from help with daily living to care that requires qualified nursing. We look after older people, including those living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities, autistic people, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with loss of sight or hearing. Having registered nurses on duty means medication, pain, wounds, continence and the difficulties people have with eating, drinking and moving can be managed properly and without waiting, and that a change in somebody's health is noticed early. Because we provide residential care as well, a person whose needs increase over time does not necessarily have to move again, which matters a great deal to those who have already made one difficult move. Alongside the clinical work we try to protect the ordinary business of living: choosing when to get up, what to wear, what to eat and who you want sitting with you. Where somebody is autistic or has a learning disability, the way care is offered often matters more than what is offered, so we pay attention to how a person communicates and what helps them feel safe. Respite stays are available as well as permanent places. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Please come and see us and ask whatever you need to.
