Welcome to The Grange Care Centre in Faringdon. Situated in the tranquil village of Stanford in the Vale, the charming home offers 24-hour nursing care for adults, on a long-term basis or for short-term respite care. They are blessed with a long-serving team of nursing and support staff that provide high-quality, person-centred care within a homely environment.
The Grange comprises 40 single bedrooms and 4 companion rooms for couples wishing to share. Most of the bedrooms are equipped with an en-suite W.C. and a hand basin. They encourage residents to furnish their new surroundings with familiar pieces of furniture and personal possessions to make them feel truly at home. While bedrooms provide a tranquil area to rest and relax, the home's light and airy communal day rooms offer residents the opportunity to catch up with friends over a pot of tea, enjoy one of the guest entertainers or simply recline in front of their favourite films.
At The Grange, they encourage residents to take part in a range of engaging activities based on their lifestyle needs and preferences. Many of the activities take place within the home environment and include garden parties, barbecues, arts/crafts and quiz nights. The team empowers individuals to enjoy those everyday routines they cherish, whether that’s having a salon blow-dry and manicure or keeping up to date with their favourite football team. As well as being encouraged to enjoy the home's landscaped gardens, residents also enjoy regular days out and seasonal trips further afield.
The Grange's professional catering team delivers nutritionally balanced meals that are appealing to all its residents. The professional food suppliers specialise in delivering high-quality food designed specifically for the healthcare sector.

My husband was at The Grange from December 2023 to August 2026. The care was exceptional and the staff very caring, especially as he suffered from Alzheimers and could not often respond or take part in activities or express his gratitude although he tried. The place was always spotless, the activities ladies were exceptional too (coming up with wonderful ideas to entertain the residents), as were the nurses.

During my mother's stay the staff were on the whole caring and attentive. My mother was at times very difficult. The staff dealt with her in a professional way trying to reassure her. Contact with myself and sister relating to her care was good with updates on her condition/medication, etc. This was by phone or personal contact when we visited. It was plain to see investment was being put in to the upkeep of the building, with contractors in attendance on nearly every visit. In all we feel everything possible was done to make her stay comfortable and pleasant. We feel our experience was good.

Choosing The Grange Care Centre for my mum was the best choice I could have made. The home has a wonderfully calm, relaxed atmosphere, and the staff are incredibly warm, attentive, and respectful. From day one, mum felt completely welcomed. The daily activities are thoughtfully planned and perfectly balanced to keep residents engaged without overwhelming them. A huge thank you to the whole team for their support, it means the world to know mum is safe and so well cared for.

Having received excellent care at a hospice in Oxford, the care and health team decided that mum's needs would be better met at a nursing home. Having found The Grange we can honestly say they made a really good decision! Since mum has moved into The Grange, her emotional and mental health has improved considerably. She is often smiling, having a joke or a chat to the staff or residents. She has taken part in fun activities, and especially likes the food ones! Talking of food her appetite has also improved enormously. Thank you The Grange team you are amazing and all her family and friends are very grateful.

I would especially like to mention Alex and Frankie they have been absolutely wonderful throughout. Their warmth patience and understanding have made a difference not only to dad but all the family. They always take the time to listen and have supported us through this difficult time.
It is clear that Alex and Frankie truly care about the people they look after and their dedication to their patients shines through in everything they do. Knowing that my dad was surround by such caring and supportive staff gave us all peace of mind.
Thank you to Alex, Frankie and the entire team for the amazing work you all do. Your kindness and commitment are deeply appreciated and we are so grateful for the care you gave our dad

Mum has been a resident of The Grange for nearly 6 years & it has been the best decision in terms of her dementia care. It was a difficult decision to move her to a care home & the 1st home she was in was very poor. We had to move her during COVID & The Grange were exceptional in the help & support they gave with the transfer & the transition to new surroundings. Since then, her care has been excellent, we are always kept informed & Mum is very content, even with her health deteriorating. The nursing team are very experienced & all the care team treat Mum with respect & dignity. The Grange may not suit everyone, however it is a home rather than than a hotel & for our Mum that is what she would want. I would highly recommend visiting & speaking to all the team if you are considering care for a loved one.
I cannot praise the staff at The Grange Stanford (who have been looking after my mum for the last 8 months) enough, they are so kind, caring, compassionate, friendly making her feel safe. The food is really nice plenty of choice and good portions. They have given my husband and myself peace of mind...

She recieved the best care anyone would want for a loved family member, with lewis body dimentia.
This awful diesease took mum away from us, but at The Grange they gave her such wonderful care 24 hours a day. The carers really were kind and considerate and treated her with kindness and respect, they had a lot to deal with, but they took it in their stride and were so professional in every caring way they could be.
The Nurses are also fantastic, if you thought something was wrong or mum had a headache, I would always go to one of the nurses on duty and they would come and see us and help us in whatever way they could, and always with kindness and a smile, just what you needed when you thought something was wrong.
The chefs amazing, they took an intetest in the residents wellbeing.
The carers, nurses, and everyone on the floor are amazing! 5* without these people it wouldnt work so well, they all really care .
First impressions of The Grange may frankly not be the best: no plush reception area with hairdressing salon; no wide expanse of expensive carpet.

First impressions of The Grange may frankly not be the best: no plush reception area with hairdressing salon; no wide expanse of expensive carpet. Newer, bespoke care homes will often boast higher levels of facilities. However, the level of personal care that The Grange provided would be extremely hard to match. This is a nursing home where everyone cares. What was important for my aunt and me was the quality of the medical/care support she received and how she was treated. She had wanted to stay at home till the end, but after less than a week she asked me to "sell my home and let me stay here!" The carers and the nursing staff were all exceptional. Always popping a head round the door, always a cheerful word. There are qualified nurses on hand 24/7, sometimes three at a time, and they are experienced and kind. My aunt loved both the male and female carers and everyone from manager to the service staff were wonderful to deal with. I recommend The Grange for kind, professional care.
It is comfortable and well run. The staff are friendly and caring, nothing is too much trouble. I would personally recommend The Grange after living here for eighteen months.

The kindness, professionalism and support of the whole team has meant that my uncles stay has been a wonderful experience. He has enjoyed all aspects of his stay and this has reassured us greatly as a family. I would highly recommend the Grange to others.

I have had a wonderful experience with this care home. The nurses and all staff are consistently kind, patient, and genuinely caring. They go above and beyond and are always ready to assist with any need. I highly recommend The Grange to anyone seeking compassionate care.

As Home Manager at The Grange Care Centre, I am proud to lead such a caring and dedicated team. With over 20 years of experience in social care, and having grown up in a village myself, leading a care home rooted in village life feels genuinely special to me. I joined Forest Healthcare in February 2026, and my approach has always been the same: to ensure every person in our care is treated with the same warmth and dignity we would want for our own families.
