Welcome to The Close, a modern purpose built home offering residential and nursing care located in the village of Burcot, Oxfordshire. The Close offers long-term care, short-stay convalescent and respite care in a beautiful location close to the market town of Abingdon and within close proximity of the city of Oxford. It is ideally set in three acres of beautiful landscaped gardens that roll down to the banks of the river Thames.

Our multi-million pound redevelopment now provides some of the best care home accommodation in the country. Extensive investment has transformed The Close into a bright modern home offering three separate wings of purpose-built accommodation coupled with excellent facilities. We are an individual home and not part of a large chain and believe our extensive experience and passion for caring for the elderly offers a unique environment, dedicated to each resident's individual needs.

We believe this is your home as much as it is ours. We pride ourselves in treating every resident individually and matching the care they require to their specific needs - each resident's Care Plan is designed to build on your strengths and we constantly seek to improve on quality of life.

There's always something happening at The Close - whether it's a crossword morning with our Activities Co-ordinator, an outing to the local garden centre or maybe just the hairdresser or chiropodist coming in for their weekly appointments. All our residents are free to join in as much as they want; we believe in personal choice and you are always free to decide what you would like to do.

Your friends and family can visit at times that suit you - our door is always open and suggestions and feedback from our residents families are always welcome. Our Residents and Families Committee meet regularly with the staff and together we look to find ways to enhance your time with us and ensure you are as comfortable and happy as possible.

Please feel free to come and visit us, we would be delighted to show you around.

Nyms Sithole, Manager, The Close
