CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Run by Ellenbern Holdings Limited, Cherwood House Care Centre is a nursing home in Bicester, Oxfordshire with 119 registered beds. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Oxfordshire has 48 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in May 2019. Its previous rating, in May 2018, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 57% of homes in Oxfordshire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
69 other homes in Oxfordshire share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in October 2025. That is true of 88% of homes in Oxfordshire. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
