Questions families ask
Can someone trial living in the home?
Yes. The first six weeks of residency can be used as a paid trial period, with no further obligation for either side.
Can family and friends be involved in care planning?
Yes. With the resident’s permission, family members, relatives and friends can participate in the care planning process.
Can residents manage their own medicines?
Yes, when it is safe. They can use lockable storage with staff support, or trained staff can store and administer medicines according to the prescription.
Can family and friends visit at any time?
Usually, yes. Visitors are encouraged, but individual care plans may affect arrangements and guests must sign in and out for fire safety.
How much does The Old Prebendal House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Old Prebendal House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Oxfordshire council paid on average £1,123 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
