Kennington, Oxford
The same faces,
year after year.
Two family-run care homes in an Oxford village, looked after since 1985 by a team that stays. Anyone can build a house — the difference is who greets you in it.
Why families choose us
Three things most care homes cannot say.
Founded in 1985. The same family. Not owned by private equity, not part of a chain, not for sale.
Continuity is the single biggest factor in good care. Our residents see the same faces every day.
Our care team
The people who will know your mother's name
Anyone can build a home and paint it beautifully. What nobody can copy is a team that stays — the same faces at the door, the same people who know how your father takes his tea and which chair your mother prefers.
We use no agency staff. Nearly everyone here has been with us for more than three years. Have a look at who they are.
What families say
In their words, not ours
These are published reviews from carehome.co.uk, not testimonials we collected ourselves. Every one links back to the original so you can read it in full — along with anything else families have written about us.

On Dad's birthday they got him a cake and a badge and sang to him — I was really impressed. The care given to my dad is exceptional, especially on his bad days when I know he can be difficult to care for.

They take great care of my father — they make sure he's looked after, fed, and most importantly, make him feel part of the family. He used to love music, so they make sure there's plenty of music and activities to keep him happy.

I am very secure in the knowledge that Mum is in the best place and is cared for 24/7, which means I don't have to worry so much about her as I did when she was living in her own home.

When I cannot visit I can talk to and see my mother over WhatsApp. When I communicate with the staff by email or phone they come back promptly trying to find solutions. The place is clean and spacious.

The people and places we work with
We've been on Kennington Road since 1985. Over that time the homes have become part of village life — and the connections below are real ones, not badges.
-
Charity partnership
Cycling Without Age Oxfordshire
We partner with Cycling Without Age Oxfordshire, a registered charity offering free trishaw rides across the county. Their volunteers take our residents out along the river and through the village — and the rides are open to the wider community too.
-
Our village
Kennington Parish Council
Both our homes sit on Kennington Road, in the village our residents and many of our staff call home. The Parish Council is the hub for village life, services and events.
-
Our residents’ GP practice
Manor Surgery
Our residents are registered with Manor Surgery, part of The Manor Group. Their GPs visit the homes, and working closely with one practice is a large part of how we look after health needs in a residential setting.
-
Village community group
Kennington Connected
The village's community group on Facebook, where Kennington news, events and requests for help are shared. It's where we hear about what's happening on our doorstep — and where we post what's happening in ours.
-
Local authority directory
Livewell Oxfordshire
Oxfordshire County Council's directory of care and support services, and a good starting point for families arranging a care needs assessment.
-
Our regulator
Care Quality Commission
The independent regulator of health and adult social care in England. Both our homes are inspected by the CQC and rated Good — read the reports in full, they are public.
The next step
The best way to know is to visit.
