About Kirlena House
Kirlena House provides residential and dementia care in a purpose-built home in Kennington, Oxford. It is designed for people who need accommodation, personal care and daily support, with dementia registered as a specialist area rather than registered nursing provision.
The smaller home has nearly all rooms en suite and shares a village-road setting and family ownership with Mon Choisy. Families can arrange a four-week trial period before making a permanent decision, while separate respite stays are also available. Fees are agreed in writing after a pre-admission assessment, with residential dementia care priced according to the level of support required.
