  • Introduction

    Ideally situated within a 10 minute walk of Wantage town centre, our home is also within easy reach of the larger towns of Abingdon, Reading and Newbury, as well as the vibrant city of Oxford.

    St Katharine’s House is steeped in history, having been originally founded on the site of St Katharine’s School in 1894, by the Community of St. Mary the Virgin.  The site has been a care home since 2011 and has become known for providing exceptional care.

    St Katharine’s House provides support for people living with a range of differing health needs, including residential, nursing and dementia care and offers care on a long-term, or short-term and respite basis.

    Our spacious home benefits from a variety of lounge and dining spaces, as well as a café for social gatherings or catching up with family and friends.  Our leafy five-acre garden is a calm space where residents can enjoy the fresh air, a gentle walk or even afternoon tea in the sunshine.  Our home also has it’s own historic chapel, still used today by our friends in the community, as well as our residents who choose to continue practising their faith.

    In addition to the communal spaces, every resident benefits from their own generous and well-appointed bedroom with en-suite facilities.

    Our dedicated activities team arrange a programme of varied and interesting events and activities, ensuring our residents always have plenty to keep their minds and bodies stimulated.
