About Esmere Gardens Nursing Home
A welcoming, CQC-rated Good care home in Moreton-in-Marsh, providing residential, nursing, dementia, respite and urgent care—with an all-inclusive approach and dedicated onsite private GP support.
Who are Esmere Gardens?
Esmere Gardens is a purpose-built nursing and care home on Stow Road in Moreton-in-Marsh, supporting older people who need anything from gentle help with daily life to 24-hour nursing care.
We understand that families often discover us during an unsettling time: after a fall, a hospital stay, a change in memory, increasing frailty or the point when caring at home no longer feels safe. Our role is to make the next conversation calmer and clearer.
We begin by listening. We learn about the person—not only their health needs, but their routines, relationships, interests, worries and the things that help life feel familiar. An assessment then helps determine whether Esmere Gardens can safely provide the right care.
Independent fact: The Care Quality Commission lists Esmere Gardens as a nursing home supporting older adults who may be living with dementia or a physical disability, registered to support up to 60 people.
Care that feels clear, calm and reassuring from the beginning
The surroundings matter, but trust is built through people, consistency and what happens when needs change.
Care that can adapt as needs change
Choosing a care home feels more manageable when you know your loved one may continue to be supported if their assessed needs change. Esmere Gardens brings several types of care into one community.
- Residential care for daily support, comfort and companionship.
- Nursing care for more complex health needs and 24-hour reassurance.
- Dementia care shaped around familiarity, identity and dignity.
- Respite care for short stays, recovery or family breathing space.
Our home in Moreton-in-Marsh
Set in the North Cotswolds, Esmere Gardens offers comfortable private and shared spaces, gardens and connections with the local community. Families visit from Moreton-in-Marsh and surrounding towns and villages.
All-inclusive care with dedicated onsite private GP support
This is one of the clearest differences at Esmere Gardens. The all-inclusive approach is designed to make regular costs and services easier to understand, while dedicated onsite private GP support gives residents added medical continuity and families added reassurance.
- One clearer approach to accommodation, care, daily living and regular support.
- Dedicated onsite private GP support included for residents.
- Familiar medical oversight when health concerns arise.
- A clear explanation of the current fee, inclusions and terms before admission.
Regulated, trusted and reviewed
Families need more than promises. Esmere Gardens is regulated by the Care Quality Commission and independently reviewed by residents and relatives through carehome.co.uk.
Our IMPACT values, lived every day
Values matter only when families and residents can recognise them in everyday behaviour.
- Inspire Together: residents, relatives and colleagues contribute ideas.
- Make a Difference: thoughtful details improve everyday life.
- Positively Appreciate: people and their contributions are recognised.
- Apply Trust: communication is honest, dependable and respectful.
- Care Graciously: kindness and dignity guide every interaction.
- Transparent Leadership: questions and concerns can be raised openly.
Independent evidence matters more than marketing promises
The latest CQC assessment of Esmere Gardens was published on 21 January 2026 and rated the service Good overall. The report says people felt happy and safe, were listened to, had choice and control, and were supported by kind and caring staff.
The full assessment also identifies areas for improvement. We believe families should read independent evidence in full, ask questions and see the home for themselves. Transparency means making that information easy to find—not presenting only the convenient parts.
- Read the latest CQC assessment and registration information
- Check recent reviews from residents and relatives
- Visit the home and observe everyday interactions
- Ask what is included, who is on duty and how concerns are handled
Support for different needs and different moments
No family should have to diagnose the right category of care alone. Tell us what has changed and we will help clarify the appropriate next step.
A calm, four-step approach
Tell us what is happening
Share the current situation, care needs, timescale and what worries the family most.
Assessment and honest advice

Visit and ask questions
Meet the team, see the living spaces and discuss routines, fees, GP support and availability.
A planned welcome
If Esmere Gardens is right, we prepare for the move using information that helps the resident feel recognised and reassured.
Values should be visible in everyday behaviour
Our IMPACT values are Inspire Together, Make a Difference, Positively Appreciate, Apply Trust, Care Graciously and Transparent Leadership.
In practice, that means listening before acting, treating personal care as personal, recognising each resident’s contribution, sharing information honestly and making it safe for residents, relatives and colleagues to raise concerns.
Care is delivered by a wider home team—including carers, registered nurses, hospitality, housekeeping, maintenance, wellbeing and leadership colleagues—because comfort and quality of life depend on far more than clinical tasks alone.
What families should notice during a visit
- Whether residents are addressed respectfully and by name
- Whether the atmosphere feels calm, friendly and unhurried
- Whether people can choose company, activities or quiet time
- Whether staff can explain how care is personalised
- Whether bedrooms and shared spaces feel clean and comfortable
- Whether questions about fees and changing needs receive clear answers
