Questions families ask
Does The Grange have wheelchair-accessible bathrooms?
Yes. Assisted bathrooms and wheelchair-accessible shower rooms are located close to every room.
How many rooms does The Grange care home have?
The Grange has 32 rooms and is designed to maintain a family-ethos approach to care.
How much does The Grange cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Grange 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.
