Services at Cumnor Hill House

Residential & Respite care

Residential care is for people who need help with day-to-day tasks like getting dressed, moving around and cooking. It’s also for those who could benefit from being part of a community. Live independently knowing our care team is here if you need us. Respite care provides the same benefits on a short-term basis. Whether it’s weeks or months, relax knowing you’re in safe hands.

Dementia care

Dementia affects everyone differently, so our approach is person-centred. We see beyond the diagnosis to recognise each person’s identity and life history. Our staff undergo specialised training to understand unique needs. From art therapy to gardening, we offer meaningful activities that improve wellbeing in safe, stimulating environments designed for comfort.

Nursing care

Our registered nurses provide 24-hour medical attention for residents with complex health conditions. We support people who’ve had strokes, recent operations or conditions affecting mobility. From administering medications to wound care, PEG and stoma care – our team combines medical expertise with compassion in everything they do.

Community living that feels truly welcoming

Community life is central at Cumnor Hill House. State-of-the-art facilities certainly matter, but it is the social connections that make a real difference. Conversations over morning coffee, shared interests, new friendships formed over activities, all of it creates a natural antidote to the isolation that many people fear. Everyone is encouraged to be themselves while being part of something much bigger. Living somewhere genuinely warm and welcoming, with incredible luxury touches throughout, means that any worries about loneliness fade away completely.

As well as being part of a community, people thrive at Berkley because we recognise and celebrate them as the remarkable individuals they are. If it matters to them, it matters to us. This is how we reimagine care every day.

Your care

Care that works around what matters to you, not the other way around. We talk with residents and families to understand exactly what support each person needs, then fit that around their interests, routines and preferences. Some people need minimal help, others require more intensive support – either way, it’s designed around how you want to live your life here.

 

Our people

Cumnor Hill House works because of the people – residents, families and our team. Everyone here has fascinating stories to tell. Residents arrive with decades of experiences, skills and knowledge that make conversations genuinely interesting. When people feel comfortable sharing their stories and being themselves, that’s what creates the warm atmosphere you’ll notice the moment you walk through the door. Our staff understand that their job is helping everyone feel valued and giving them opportunities to keep growing and learning.

“I have complete confidence they are taking care of Mum just as I would.”

Cumnor Hill House offers residential, nursing, dementia, respite and palliative care, all under one roof and rated Good by the CQC.

From short respite stays to complex nursing and end-of-life care, Cumnor Hill House delivers it with warmth, dignity and clinical expertise.

Cumnor Hill House is on Breeches End, Cumnor Hill, Oxford (OX2 9FW), tucked into a quiet green corner on the west side of the city. The home is easily reached from central Oxford, Botley, Wytham and Abingdon, with good links to the A34 and A420. Families love that they can arrive in minutes from the ring road yet feel a world away from the bustle once they're through our doors.

Walls of glass at Cumnor Hill House overlook woodland and beautifully tended gardens, giving the home a calm, almost country-house feel. Recently refurbished social spaces provide elegant settings for fine dining and family celebrations. Residents enjoy a private screening room, a salon, lounges for quiet conversation, private dining rooms and daily activities from art classes to outings in our dedicated transport. Nothing's too much trouble for our team.

Yes. Cumnor Hill House offers specialist dementia care delivered by a trained team who see each resident as an individual first. Person-led care plans, familiar routines, meaningful activities and calming surroundings help residents feel safe and known. Our combination of dementia and nursing expertise means we can support residents whose needs become more complex, without the upheaval of moving to another home.

Look for a home that feels alive. Watch how staff speak to residents, listen for genuine conversation and laughter, and check the dining room at mealtimes. Ask to see a bedroom, gardens and activity spaces, and find out how care plans adapt over time. At Cumnor Hill House we welcome every question and encourage families to stay long enough to really feel the atmosphere, not just walk the corridors.

Residential care supports people with daily living: dressing, meals, medication prompts and companionship. Nursing care adds qualified nurses on site around the clock for more complex medical needs such as wound care, PEG feeding or advanced neurological conditions. Cumnor Hill House provides both, along with dementia, respite and palliative care, so residents can age in place as their needs change rather than moving home.

Cumnor Hill House operates on a simple, all-inclusive weekly fee. That covers your suite, personal and nursing care, meals, drinks, activities, salon appointments, use of all facilities and outings in our dedicated transport. Weekly fees vary depending on the suite and level of care required, so our team will happily provide a tailored quote and walk you through everything during a visit.

Yes. We welcome couples and will make every effort to keep you together, even if one partner needs a higher level of nursing or dementia care. Our suites can be arranged for two, and shared meals, lounges and gardens mean the rhythm of the relationship continues naturally. For many couples, the reassurance of being side by side with support always on hand transforms daily life.

Of course. Book a tour at a time that works for you, bring whoever you'd like, and spend as long as you need. We'll show you the home, walk the gardens, introduce you to the team and residents, and answer every question over coffee or a meal. Evening and weekend visits are easily arranged, and the team will never rush your decision.
