Room to be yourself. People to share it with.

A favourite chair. A conversation over lunch. Family dropping in. Feeling at home is about the freedom to enjoy familiar routines, choose your company and spend the day doing things that matter to you.

    Enjoy familiar interests, join an activity or take some quiet time. Personal choice helps each day feel your own.

  • Good company, naturally

    Share a meal, chat over a cup of tea or spend time together in the café, lounges and gardens.

  • Keep loved ones close

    Welcome family and friends, enjoy time together and stay connected to the relationships that matter most.

Our Care Services

The Right Care for Today. Confidence for Tomorrow.

Every family’s circumstances are different. Esmere Gardens provides residential care, 24-hour nursing care, dementia care, short-term respite care and short-notice admissions within one welcoming nursing home in Moreton-in-Marsh, subject to individual assessment and availability.

Whether you are planning a long-term residential stay, need specialist support or are responding to an unexpected change, our team will explain the most appropriate next step clearly and without pressure. Where we can continue to meet a resident’s needs safely, their care can adapt while they remain close to familiar people, routines and surroundings.

Residential Care


Residential care is for people who need support with daily life, personal care, meals, routines and companionship. At Esmere Gardens, residents are encouraged to stay independent where possible, while knowing help is always close by.

Dementia Care


Our dementia care supports people living with memory loss, confusion or dementia-related changes. We focus on calm routines, familiar relationships, dignity, emotional reassurance and meaningful daily life.

Nursing Care


Our nursing care is for people with more complex health needs who require support from registered nurses. This may include clinical monitoring, medication support, mobility needs or care after illness or hospital discharge.

Respite Care


Respite care offers short-term support for recovery, family carer breaks, trial stays or temporary changes at home. It gives families time to rest, plan and feel reassured that their loved one is safe.

Emergency/Urgent Care


When circumstances change suddenly, we may be able to support urgent or unplanned admissions. Families can contact us directly to discuss current availability and care needs.

The Esmere Gardens all-inclusive difference
