About Juniper House

Juniper House is a nursing home in Brackley, caring for older people whose health needs have gone beyond what can be managed safely at home. Qualified nurses are on hand at every hour, which means changes in somebody's condition are noticed early and managed here wherever possible rather than through repeated hospital admissions. Much of our work is with people living with dementia. We keep the day predictable and unhurried, we make sure people see faces they recognise and we pay attention to the small things that settle a person. We also care for people living with a physical disability, where dignity and practical independence matter as much as clinical care, and for younger adults, whose day we plan around their own interests. Respite care is available as well, for people recovering after illness or a hospital stay and for family carers who need a break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We treat it as a foundation rather than a finish. The better test is whether people here look comfortable and occupied and whether relatives feel able to walk in and ask us anything. If you are considering nursing care in this area, you would be very welcome to do exactly that.
