Esmere Gardens Nursing Home provides dedicated residential, nursing, dementia, and respite care in the North Cotswold town of Moreton-in-Marsh. Clinical support is led by registered nurses onsite 24 hours a day, alongside dedicated private GP support and clear all-inclusive fees that protect families from unexpected costs as individual care needs change.

Deciding on later-life care depends on finding a peaceful setting where your loved one is known as an individual and supported with medical attentiveness, warm companionship, and respectful daily routines. Exploring our home, meeting the care team, and reviewing transparent care packages helps families take this important step with calm reassurance.

A Care Home in Moreton-in-Marsh Where Every Person Is Known

Esmere Gardens Nursing Home is a welcoming home on Stow Road in Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, established to deliver attentive care tailored to personal life histories. Care begins with an unhurried understanding of each resident, encompassing health requirements, familiar daily routines, personal preferences, and family relationships so that life within the home feels comforting rather than clinical.

Situated in the heart of the Cotswolds, the home provides a calm atmosphere for residents while remaining straightforward to reach for visiting families. Relatives travel regularly from nearby Cotswold communities such as Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Campden, Broadway, Blockley, Bourton-on-the-Water, and Evesham to spend relaxed time together in our shared rooms and private garden areas.

As the fourth home within the Taylor & Taylor group, Esmere Gardens builds upon more than two decades of experience in person-centred elderly care. Our approach prioritises human dignity, gentle encouragement, and transparent communication, allowing families to step back from the exhausting role of primary carer and return to enjoying meaningful time together.

Shared lounges provide bright, calm spaces for quiet reading, socialising, or welcoming visiting family members.

Clearer, All-Inclusive Care with Dedicated Clinical Oversight

Care fees at Esmere Gardens are all-inclusive, bringing assessed care, 24-hour nursing cover, private medical oversight, and daily comforts into one predictable weekly package. This transparent structure eliminates the worry of unexpected supplemental invoices, creating financial clarity and lasting peace of mind from the very first conversation.

Importantly, your agreed weekly care fee does not increase simply because assessed care needs change over time. Standard annual reviews, contractual terms, and clearly identified exclusions apply and are explained in full writing before admission, giving families complete visibility over long-term commitments without hidden fee increases as dependency alters.

• Registered nurses onsite 24 hours a day to provide continuous clinical oversight and immediate medical attention.
• Dedicated private GP support included within everyday care to deliver consistent medical reviews.
• Freshly prepared seasonal meals, daily drinks, and nutritious refreshments tailored to dietary preferences.

Bringing everyday living costs and professional health services into an inclusive arrangement removes administrative pressure from family members. Rather than managing disparate appointments and variable care bills, relatives can concentrate entirely on emotional connection and shared moments with their loved one.

Freshly prepared, balanced meals are served in sociable dining rooms designed to make every mealtime an enjoyable experience.

Residential Care for Daily Independence and Comfort

Residential care at Esmere Gardens Nursing Home is designed for older adults who benefit from discreet help with personal care, daily routines, meals, and mobility while wishing to preserve their personal autonomy. Residents enjoy private, well-appointed bedrooms alongside bright communal lounges and secure outdoor terraces that encourage gentle independence throughout the day.

Our care team provides compassionate support with washing, dressing, medication management, and nutritional needs, always respecting each person’s chosen schedule and pace. Residents are free to wake when they wish, spend quiet afternoons in comfortable seating areas, or join in with community events organised across the home.

By removing the physical burdens of housekeeping, cooking, and home maintenance, residential living provides relief from loneliness and everyday strain. Families gain reassurance knowing that attentive staff are always close by should help ever be required during the day or night.

Spacious private rooms offer a quiet sanctuary that residents can furnish with cherished personal belongings and photographs.

Dementia Care Centred on Dignity, Calm and Familiarity

Dementia care at Esmere Gardens supports individuals living with memory loss, confusion, and cognitive changes through structured routines, sensory comfort, and respectful communication. We believe that life with dementia should remain rich in purpose, emotional security, and gentle moments of connection.

Our approach avoids rigid institutional schedules, focusing instead on validating the resident’s feelings and life experiences. Team members take time to learn about each person’s past profession, favourite hobbies, music choices, and family milestones, weaving these familiar reference points into daily conversations and sensory activities.

Staff members are trained to respond to behavioural changes and anxiety with warmth, patience, and non-verbal reassurance. Relatives are welcomed as essential partners in care, helping us maintain the treasured traditions and personal habits that bring comfort to their loved ones throughout each stage of their journey.

Secure garden paths and sensory plantings allow residents living with dementia to enjoy fresh air and gentle movement safely.

Respite Care and Short-Stay Convalescence

Stays can span several days or weeks, offering full access to our all-inclusive nursing, residential, and social amenities.

A short stay also serves as a helpful introduction to life at Esmere Gardens, enabling prospective residents and their families to experience the home’s cuisine, activities, and compassionate team without an immediate long-term commitment. Many individuals find that a period of respite restores their strength, appetite, and emotional wellbeing.

Every respite resident receives a thorough assessment prior to arrival, ensuring that dietary requirements, medication schedules, and individual lifestyle routines are maintained seamlessly from day one.

Quiet outdoor terraces provide relaxing spaces for respite residents to unwind in the fresh Cotswold air.

Emergency and Short-Notice Admissions

When unexpected health crises occur—such as a sudden fall, an unexpected decline in mobility, or urgent hospital discharge deadlines—families often need to arrange care within tight timeframes. Esmere Gardens Nursing Home can facilitate short-notice admissions when rooms are available and clinical needs can be safely met.

Our management team liaises efficiently with hospital discharge coordinators, social workers, and family members to complete necessary pre-admission paperwork and clinical reviews without delay. We focus on cutting through administrative confusion so that your loved one can transfer directly into a peaceful, supportive environment.

By managing rapid transfers with sensitivity and organised efficiency, we help families avoid premature readmissions to hospital and prevent the breakdown of crisis situations at home. Our experienced team remains on hand to guide you step-by-step through urgent placements.

Our admissions team works smoothly to make urgent arrivals calm, organised, and supportive for both resident and family.

Health Data Innovation with Plus Ten Care

Esmere Gardens incorporates modern health technology through Plus Ten Care, an innovative healthcare platform designed to advance illness prevention and enhance care quality. The platform analyses health observations to detect subtle physiological changes and early warning signs before they develop into acute health episodes.

Designed and operated directly within Esmere Gardens, Plus Ten Care represents a forward-thinking approach to elderly care that combines compassionate human touch with intelligent preventative monitoring. This data-informed approach assists our clinical team in identifying potential issues—such as urinary tract infections, respiratory changes, or gradual mobility declines—at an earlier stage.

This commitment to clinical innovation earned Esmere Gardens recognition as a Gloucestershire Care Providers Association (GCPA) award winner and National Care Awards finalist, alongside inclusion in the Knight Frank Luxury Care Home Guide. We continually strive to pioneer practices that elevate the quality of everyday life for our residents.

Data-led healthcare insights support our clinical team in identifying early warning signs and tailoring care promptly.
