Len Merton, Sanctuary Care’s director of care said: “It was wonderful to see so many people from the local community join together to celebrate the unveiling of our stunning home, which will be a real asset to the community.”

“We have three other homes in Oxfordshire which are very much at the heart of their communities, so I am looking forward to seeing how the residents of our new flagship home thrive and flourish in what is truly a wonderful environment.”
