Questions families ask
How does admission to Wardington House work?
Admission starts with a discussion about the prospective resident’s needs, current situation, care options and funding. The Matron then assesses the person before an admission plan is made with the family.
Will Wardington House assess someone in their own home?
Yes. The Matron visits the prospective resident in their own home, wherever they live in the country, to assess their needs and learn about their family and life.
Can Wardington House care for someone with advanced dementia?
Yes. The Matron assesses each potential resident, and the home says it can usually support people with advanced dementia through to the end of their lives.
Can family visit Wardington House whenever they wish?
Yes. Families and visitors are welcome at any time convenient to the person they are visiting, and the home shares updates, photos and invitations to events.
Can residents choose their daily activities at Wardington House?
Yes. Residents can join group activities, spend quiet time alone, enjoy the garden or chat with other residents and staff, according to how they choose to spend their day.
How much does Wardington House Nursing Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Wardington House Nursing Home 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.
