About Vale House
Vale House specialises in dementia care for people whose condition may be severe or complicated. The home was founded specifically to care for people with dementia and to support their families, with residents’ dignity, individuality and present needs central to the service.
The home offers personalised care, family support, activities and coordination with outside expertise. If a resident develops medical or nursing needs beyond the home’s own expertise in dementia or palliative care, the service seeks help from the relevant specialist team. Support for families is a defining part of the model, making Vale House relevant to relatives who need guidance as well as a specialist home for the person they support.

Questions families ask
How much does Vale House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Vale 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Vale House whether it takes residents funded by Oxfordshire council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
