About
The Julie Richardson Nursing Home is a family-run home in central Banbury, providing nursing, dementia and respite care. It has operated since 2003, and most of its residents have moved in from the local area. The home occupies an extended terraced building with plenty of character, adapted to suit how it runs. Its light, open spaces give residents places to spend time, and there are areas of interest for people living with dementia. Each of the 40 bedrooms can be personalised with a resident's own belongings. Care plans are tailored to each resident's physical health, wellbeing and wishes.
The Care Quality Commission rated the home Outstanding overall in its 2020 report. It graded the home Good for safety and Outstanding for effectiveness, caring, responsiveness and well-led.
