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.

I like the fact that the manager sees the care home for what it is.
A place for care (not how much profit can I make from this.) All the staff are so caring and show so much respect for each individual resident and there is a lot of laughter daily.
Which you don't find everywhere.

My mum was a resident for almost four years and during that time all the staff at the home have always been caring and compassionate, supportive and truly gave us peace of mind knowing Mum was always in good hands, safe and looked after. The nursing and care staff were always amazing especially when Mum’s health deteriorated keeping us fully informed and not only caring for Mum but being there for us as well. They always made Mum look well presented even when she became unable to do this herself. Making sure she had the food she loved. Always letting her have chocolate which was her favourite even though she would get in a mess and would need help to get cleaned up. Nothing was ever too much trouble Mum’s welfare was always put first.

My brother was admitted to The Grange Care Centre just before Christmas 2023. I was unsure whether he would like it there as he had been living on his own for several years, and was not used to being around lots of people. However, the management and staff did everything they could to make him feel welcome. My brother is now very happy at The Grange, due mainly to the patience and compassion of the management and staff.

My mum has been a resident at the nursing home for about 18 months. She has Parkinson's and is 94 years old. She is very well looked after, and all the nurses and carers are so wonderful with her, and the whole family. They take an interest in how she is now, but also what she was like as a younger woman. They get to know the family and are caring towards us too. I couldn't recommend the home enough.
I visit my friend regularly at The Grange. She is very happy there. Staff are kind friendly and caring. They are welcoming and always greet me with a smile. My friend joins in all the activities and especially loves the garden.

The Grange Care Centre has exceeded my expectations in providing exceptional care and support for my mother-in-law. I know that she is in capable and caring hands.
I have been visiting my Father at The Grange Care Centre on a daily basis for quite a while now and I am very happy with the care he is receiving. The care staff are wonderful and have built up a great rapport with my father. I, too, am made to feel very welcome when visiting - it's like calling in...
Everybody in the office is exceptionally kind and friendly, always there to give any help or advice.
I am very happy with the way my father is being looked after.

It's not called a 'care centre' for nothing: literally, everyone at The Grange cares! It's their default setting. Everyone is so nice! Even as a visitor, I was made so welcome and could see a really positive change in the person I was visiting. The nurses were brilliant and the level of care was the best I've seen anywhere.
Setting-wise, it's lovely and quiet with the birds and the church clock as a very relaxing background. Communal areas are light and bright and the rooms look very comfortable and spacious for those preferring their own company.
I would thoroughly recommend The Grange to anyone - I might just go there myself when the time comes!
The Grange is a great place with kind and supportive staff, who are always kind and caring. They go out of their way to make sure Mum has everything she needs. They know my mum really well, and she loves spending time in the lounge with her friends.

She looks forward to spending time with her friends in the lounge. The dining room is inviting and meals are very tasty. I knew from the minute I first arrived at The Grange that it was the right place for my friend to be.
I don't think my wife could be in a better care home. When you're in your final weeks and days, the only thing that really matters is the quality of care, 24 hours a day.

I don't think my wife could be in a better care home. When you're in your final weeks and days, the only thing that really matters is the quality of care, 24 hours a day. All the staff we met who looked after my wife were absolutely amazing. I don't need to mention names as they are all fantastic, incredibly caring people. Amazing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each and every one of them.
My husband came to the Grange potluck from hospital, with different ailments. I was hesitant at first, so I stayed at the Grange a couple of nights to reassure myself that my husband was OK.

My husband came to the Grange potluck from hospital, with different ailments. I was hesitant at first, so I stayed at the Grange a couple of nights to reassure myself that my husband was OK. Well to my delight, all was amazing and there was certainly no need to worry - all the staff were wonderful. My husband was extremely well looked after in all ways - from washing, shaving, dressing and helping him to eat. I was made very welcome and was also offered food, as I travelled a distance from our home. On the days I couldn't travel, I was kept informed about my husband so I didn't worry, as I knew he was in caring hands. Sadly, my husband passed away in August but I'm so grateful for the outstanding care my husband received from all the members of staff. A wonderful team. I can't thank you enough.

My Mother has resided in The Grange Care Centre for five years, the care is continuously outstanding and the core staff remain year after year and that makes for a happy family atmosphere that is well respected and trusted. It gives my Mother and the other residents stability which I believe is massively important to them.
We feel we have landed on our feet with The Grange Care Centre. My mother's care has been excellent. She has developed some wonderful relationships with members of staff and their attention to the little details that ensure her comfort, dignity and happiness are astounding.

Super friendly staff. Excellent care and compassion. Nan is cared for with empathy and the staff are cheerful towards Nan. The office staff and manager are friendly and approachable. We also chat to the staff and Nan says she likes all the staff.

Friendly, helpful staff. Had difficult times during Covid as lots of places have but continues to maintain good communication throughout. Mum says she likes staying at the home and that the ‘nurses’ are all very nice.

My mother needed a care home after a brief illness. I knew people who had been to the Grange and had been very happy with the care. On recommendation, I rang the home and found the staff answering the phone very helpful. My mother is now a resident at The Grange, she is very happy and has settled in well. I cannot fault the staff and have been blown away by how welcome my mum and I have felt.
My mum needed a care home and The Grange came highly recommended by people in the local area. My mum has been very happy and if Mum's happy, then so am I. It was definitely the right choice for my mum. She loves the staff and enjoys being in her new home.

Mum needed rest and care after a few days in hospital, following a minor stroke. There was no question as to where she would go, as The Grange had looked after Dad so well for the last year of his life. The manager and the team welcomed Mum so gladly and gave her that crucial rest that allowed her to get home again in good time. Wonderful care and attention are offered at any time. What a gem!
I can’t recommend The Grange highly enough. At such a sad and difficult time for us all, they cared for Mum so very well. We were kept informed of her care and any problems arising. Sadly, Mum did not get full use of all the facilities, nor was she able to fully appreciate the comfort of her room....

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.
