About Sotwell Hill House

Sotwell Hill House combines residential care for older people with the setting of a late Victorian country residence outside Wallingford. The home accommodates 35 residents in private single and double rooms, each with en-suite facilities, television and private telephone access. A lift serves the first floor, and rooms and communal areas have emergency call systems.

Before admission, the home assesses each resident’s needs, develops an individual care plan and allocates a key worker. Plans are reviewed monthly to support independence and quality of life. Residents can join activities and outings, use lounges, a conservatory and library, and spend time in nearly twenty acres of landscaped parkland.

Questions families ask

What does personal care include?

How much does Sotwell Hill House cost?

The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Sotwell Hill House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Oxfordshire council paid on average £1,013 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
