Most are rated ‘Outstanding’ or ‘Good’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), such as Marston Court and the independently operated St Luke’s Hospital.
Whatever you’re searching for, rest assured that we’ve curated the best options above, with many managed by trusted providers such as Care UK and Bupa. Many of these homes are supported by nearby hospitals, including John Radcliffe and Churchill hospitals, along with a network of local GP practices, ideal for those living with complex medical needs, or those who would benefit from regular access to healthcare experts.
The large number of care homes in Oxford means they vary in style and budget. Some focus on calm, comfortable residential care in smaller, close-knit settings, while others offer luxury features such as private en-suite bedrooms, hair and beauty salons, manicured gardens, and restaurant-style dining. You’ll also find homes that are well equipped for advanced dementia and nursing needs, with trained staff, specialist layouts, and quiet rooms for one-to-one therapy.
Life in these homes is shaped by regular activities that are often organised based on the interests of residents. Your loved one might spend the afternoon in a book group, join a gardening session in the courtyard, or attend a live classical music performance. Many homes also run memory cafés, art workshops, and baking sessions.
