The Grange Care Centre – Faringdon

Church Green, Stanford in the Vale
Faringdon Oxfordshire SN7 8HU
United Kingdom

The Grange is a warm and friendly home in the heart of Stanford in the Vale, a quiet village near Faringdon in the Oxfordshire countryside, and a home rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission. Set beside the village church green, with large gardens to enjoy, it is a settled, homely place that residents and visitors feel at ease in from the moment they arrive. Inside, the home has been refreshed in a style inspired by hygge, the Danish idea of cosiness and contentment found in simple comforts and good company.

Our long-serving nursing and care team is on hand 24 hours a day, happy to help with a smile and a cheery word, from company and support with daily living to round-the-clock nursing care and dementia care. People join us for a short respite stay, for a period of recovery, or to make the home their own for the longer term.

The home has 41 bedrooms, most with their own en suite, including rooms for couples who wish to stay together. Every resident is treated as an individual, and the team and residents together create a family atmosphere where everyone feels at home. We look forward to welcoming you to The Grange

Nursing and Dementia Care, Day and Night

Our registered nurses and carers are here 24 hours a day, with GP cover. We provide nursing care for people with complex needs, dementia care, respite and post-operative stays, and palliative and end of life care. Every resident has a personal care plan, written with them and their family and reviewed regularly, so their care keeps pace as their needs change.

For residents living with dementia, familiar things matter. We keep to the routines people know, and encourage families to bring in photographs and belongings so their room feels like theirs. Residents and families get to know the same faces, and the team gets to know them.

Outstanding, in Every Sense

The Grange is rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission, in a village setting where residents are part of local life. The refreshed lounge and dining room look out over the gardens; there are quiet corners to read in, and the terrace is where afternoon tea is taken when the weather allows. Residents are encouraged to bring their own furniture, photographs and keepsakes so their room feels like theirs.

There’s a varied programme of activities each week, from art, crafts and quizzes to live music, gardening and gentle exercise, along with village events, trips out and garden parties and barbecues in the summer. Family and friends are welcome any time, and there’s a full calendar of events through the year.

Good Food, Adapted to Each Resident

Mealtimes are an important part of the day at The Grange. We work with apetito, a leading provider of meals for care homes, whose recipes are developed by chefs, dietitians and nutritionists. Menus are developed with our residents, and we cater for texture-modified, diabetic and other dietary needs. The dining room and lounge look out over the gardens, and in summer meals are served on the terrace.

Customer Feedback

Moving into a care home is a big step, and we take it at your pace. Before anyone moves in, we meet them and their family to understand their nursing care, medical and personal needs, working with any healthcare professionals already involved, and use this to put a personal care plan in place.

People come to us in different ways: some directly, some through a hospital discharge team or social services, and some after a short respite stay. Whichever route, we talk through funding and the options openly, and our Advice Centre explains how care funding works.

We encourage residents and families to visit first, to look around the rooms and gardens, meet the team and ask anything they like.

Rooms aren’t always available at short notice, so it’s worth getting in touch early if you think you may need one. Call the team at The Grange and we can talk you through availability and arrange a tour.

Zoe Spillane – The Grange Manager

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.
