About Valerian Court
Valerian Court provides residential, nursing, dementia, respite and palliative care in a purpose-built home in Didcot. Private en-suite rooms, dining rooms and a rooftop garden support both care and everyday social life.
The home also offers a hair salon and treatment room, a full activities programme and a luxury minivan. Respite stays have a minimum duration of three weeks, while prospective residents can arrange a four-week trial stay before deciding on a permanent move. This gives people time to experience the home while the team assesses care needs and discusses the longer-term arrangement with residents and families.

How often does the hairdresser visit?
A professional hairdresser visits the salon twice a week, providing residents with a range of hair services included for everyone living there.
How much does Valerian Court cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Valerian Court 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.
