Plans for 128-bedroom care home on Longford Park
01/11/2022
Taylor and Taylor currently run The Julie Richardson Nursing Home and Banbury Heights Nursing Home
Plans for a new 128 bed care home on Longford Park have been revealed. Operator Taylor and Taylor want to build the new facility on the field opposite the primary school.
The group already runs The Julie Richardson Nursing Home on Dashwood Road and Banbury Heights Nursing Home on Old Parr Road. If permission is granted for the new home all existing residents and staff would come together on Longford Park, with an additional 29 bedrooms being made available – a total of 128.
Taylor and Taylor say the new building would use the latest design and building standards, including enhanced infection control due to Covid. In addition to the 128 en-suite bedrooms, Longford Park Care Home would include a café, multiple activity rooms and dining rooms, cinema, hairdressers, a car park with extensive provision for bicycles and landscaped gardens.
Part of the new home will specifically concentrate on specialist dementia care.
Taylor and Taylor intend the building to be part of the local community and will make some of the care home facilities, such as the community rooms and café, available to local people. This will help the residents to engage with a larger pool of people with locals benefitting from amenities right on their doorstep.
Charles Taylor, CEO of Taylor and Taylor said, “Nursing homes must provide the best possible care. That means constant investment in facilities and staff. Covid has made these challenges even greater, but we have the desire to put patients first and wish to create a home to benefit all.
“That’s why we wish to bring our existing homes onto one site in a state of the art, bespoke designed facility to ensure top quality care provision is future proofed.”
A planning application is yet to be submitted. Full details of the plans can be seen here.

Builders and Planners should be fulfilling their promise to build and develop the initial shop, GP surgery and pub before considering a care home. We don’t have enough amenities to support an additional care home until phases 1, 2, 3 and 4 have had everything promised finished off the was it was promised.

Absolutely agree with Zoe. The basic local amenities aren’t even in place but I guess it’s just a case of satisfying the highest bidder?

I thought there was already planning permission for residential properties

Hopefully more care home spaces will free up hospital beds and reduce NHS hospital wait times? In the meantime there are Sainsbury’s, Morrison’s, Co-op, post office and GP surgery pretty local.

They should build what they promised first, what they sold to all of us in first place to make us buy a house at Longford Park. unbelievable
