Welcome to Green Gates Care Home in Summertown

Just five miles from Oxford city centre, Green Gates can be found in a pleasant, leafy part of Summertown.

We aim to create a homely environment at Green Gates, and our residents' comfort is our highest priority. Green Gates employs dedicated, well trained staff who provide 24-hour care and support in a professional and respectful way.

    Depending on its size, new residents are welcome to bring furniture to their new room. Many of our residents bring a favourite armchair or pictures and other small belongings to personalise their room.

    This depends on availability of rooms in the home, understanding the cost of care and the person moving in receiving a care assessment.
