Our 2025 weekly care fees for residential care start from £1391 and for nursing care £1732, but may be in the region of 30% more*. This depends on your care needs and the type of bedroom that is right for you, from our standard rooms through to our premium bedroom options.
*If you require more specialist care such as 1-2-1 support, your weekly fee could be higher.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.785) out of 10 for Wantage Residential and Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.785 for Wantage Residential and Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 172 Ratings = 4.785
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wantage Residential and Nursing Home is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Lauren welcomed the very first resident to Wantage when it opened its doors in 2008 and is the home's longest-serving member of staff.
"It’s more than a job, I feel like this home is my baby and I love being here,” she says. “I love looking after the residents and making a difference in their lives.
You see the residents every day and they become like a second family to you – you worry about them if they aren’t well, you care for them and you enjoy listening to their stories.
It feels so special to have been here from the beginning, I love being here and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!”
Job Title: Head Chef

Our award-winning head chef Monica came third place in Sanctuary Care's annual MasterChef competition in 2022. Monica loves baking and makes delicious cakes and biscuits for afternoon tea. She also prides herself on creating stunning bespoke birthday cakes for our residents.
"I always ask them what cake they would like, and when I see their happy faces, it means I can go to sleep feeling happy!
Food is very important to our residents - if I enter the dining room and see the residents smiling, then I am happy.
I love working here – most of my family are in Romania so the people here at Wantage are like my family – they have a place in my heart.”
