Choosing care for someone you love can feel overwhelming. Families are supported with kindness and understanding, and residents are known through their histories, routines, relationships and preferences.
Cleeve Lodge has been rated Outstanding overall by CQC three times consecutively - in 2016, April 2019 and May 2025. It was named a Lottie Top 100 Care Home in 2025, and its Registered Manager won the Leadership Award at the Oxfordshire Care Awards 2026. Having served the community for nearly 50 years, it is one of Oxfordshire’s longest-established care homes. This history and recognition are cherished honours and a responsibility the home remains committed to upholding.
There are 24 single-occupancy bedrooms, available with or without an en-suite toilet, plus two communal wet rooms. Residents can bring furniture, photographs and treasured possessions to make their room their own. Every floor is lift-accessible.
NHS district nurses provide clinical support when required, and the village GP visits weekly. Activities include sewing, gardening and caring for resident guinea pigs Brian and Stitch. Vegetables grown by residents are used in the kitchen whenever possible. The local vicar visits weekly for optional worship, hymns and reflection, and the home sponsors Goring-on-Thames Cricket Club.
Family and friends may visit 24 hours a day. Private permanent care starts from £1,495 weekly and respite from £1,549. The distinctive, fully all-inclusive private fee includes physiotherapy, hairdressing, podiatry and everyday sundries - services often charged as extras elsewhere.

Cleeve Lodge offers a distinctive, fully all-inclusive private-fee model, giving residents and families greater clarity and reassurance about the cost of care.
Services that are often presented as chargeable extras elsewhere—including physiotherapy, hairdressing, podiatry and everyday sundries—are included within the Cleeve Lodge private weekly fee. This unusual approach helps families plan with confidence and avoids the worry of frequently accumulating additional charges.
Fees vary according to the resident’s assessed care needs and bedroom choice. Every family receives a clear, personalised quotation before care begins. Cleeve Lodge accepts private funding and may also accept local-authority funding, with or without a top-up, subject to an individual assessment and confirmation of the agreed funding arrangements.

I have found everything at Cleeve Lodge of a very high standard. I believe they are in the process of creating a visitors room - which will be very welcome. I can visit at any time (in a wheelchair) and be made very welcome.

Emma O’Connor brings almost 40 years of experience in adult social care to her role as Registered Manager of Cleeve Lodge.
Emma believes that excellent care begins with knowing the person. She takes time to learn about each resident’s life, personality, routines, interests, likes and dislikes, as well as the family members and friends who remain important to them.
Her approach is deeply personal and hands-on. Emma is highly visible throughout the home, knows residents and families personally and works closely with the team to ensure that care remains compassionate, respectful and responsive as residents’ needs change.
Emma also personally handles enquiries and tours for prospective residents and their families. She understands how difficult the decision to seek residential care can be and aims to make the process as open, supportive and reassuring as possible.
In May 2026, Emma won the Leadership Award at the Oxfordshire Care Awards, organised by the Oxfordshire Association of Care Providers. The award recognised her leadership and contribution to adult social care.
