Our Care Home Values
Our Care Home Values
When someone you love needs care, promises are not enough. Families need to know how a home will listen, respond and protect the person behind the care needs. At Esmere Gardens in Moreton-in-Marsh, our values shape the small moments that build safety, confidence and belonging.
What are Esmere Gardens’ care values?
Our values are summarised by the word IMPACT: Inspire Together, Make a Difference, Positively Appreciate, Apply Trust, Care Graciously and Transparent Leadership.
They guide how we speak with residents, involve families, plan care, support independence and respond when something changes. They are intended to be visible in everyday actions—not left as words on a wall.
Esmere Gardens supports older people with residential care, nursing care, dementia care and respite care in Moreton-in-Marsh.
Six values, one promise: the person comes first
Inspire Together
Residents, relatives and colleagues contribute ideas and learn from one another. Working together helps create meaningful activities, familiar routines and a community where everyone has something valuable to offer.
Make a Difference
Care is found in details: noticing a change, remembering a preference, making time for a conversation or helping someone enjoy an important part of their former routine.
Positively Appreciate
We recognise effort, progress and individuality. A sincere thank-you and thoughtful encouragement can help residents and team members feel seen, respected and confident.
Apply Trust
Trust grows through honesty, reliability and clear communication. We explain decisions, listen to concerns and treat personal information, choices and private moments with care.
Care Graciously
Kindness and dignity should be felt in every interaction. Support is offered respectfully, without rushing or talking over the person receiving care.
Transparent Leadership
Leaders set the tone through visible actions, open conversations and accountability. Families should know who to speak to and feel safe raising a question or concern.
Values families can recognise for themselves
A good care-home culture is visible in ordinary moments. When you visit, notice whether people are greeted by name, whether staff make eye contact, whether residents can make choices and whether the atmosphere feels calm rather than staged.
- Care plans shaped around individual needs, history and preferences
- Privacy and dignity during personal and clinical care
- Choice over routines, meals, activities and quiet time
- Clear, sensitive communication when needs or circumstances change
- Family involvement with the resident’s agreement
- Support that protects independence wherever safely possible
These principles reflect the CQC’s expectations for person-centred care, dignity and respect. We encourage families to check independent evidence and ask direct questions before deciding.
How our values support residents and families
Compassion matters most when it is supported by dependable systems, skilled people and honest information.
Care that can adapt
With residential, nursing, dementia and respite care available in one home, support can be reviewed as needs change, helping reduce avoidable disruption.
Health concerns taken seriously
Dedicated onsite private GP support is included within the all-inclusive approach, alongside nursing and care-team oversight.
Fees explained clearly
Our all-inclusive approach is designed to make everyday care and services easier to understand. Families receive a clear explanation before making a decision.

Our care home values: frequently asked questions
What are the values of Esmere Gardens?
Our IMPACT values are Inspire Together, Make a Difference, Positively Appreciate, Apply Trust, Care Graciously and Transparent Leadership. They guide everyday relationships, care decisions and communication.
What does IMPACT stand for at Esmere Gardens?
IMPACT is the first-letter acronym formed by our six values. It is a practical reminder that every interaction can have a positive impact on a resident, relative or colleague.
How do your values affect everyday care?
They encourage team members to listen, protect dignity, notice changes, communicate honestly, respect preferences and take responsibility. Care is then personalised through assessment and an individual care plan.
How are residents involved in decisions?
Residents are supported to express their wishes and make everyday choices wherever possible. When appropriate and agreed, relatives or representatives can contribute information that helps the team understand the person.
How do you protect dignity and privacy?
Personal care, health information and private conversations are handled respectfully. Team members should explain what they are doing, seek consent and avoid talking over or about a resident as though they are not present.
Do the same values apply to dementia care?
Yes. Dementia care particularly benefits from calm communication, familiar relationships, meaningful routines and respect for the person’s life history. Support is adapted to individual needs and abilities.
Can families be involved in care planning?
Family involvement is welcomed when the resident wants it or when it is appropriate under the person’s legal arrangements. Relatives can share valuable knowledge about routines, preferences, communication and history.
How will the home communicate if needs change?
The team aims to communicate clearly and sensitively, involving the resident and appropriate representatives. Clinical or care plans can then be reviewed according to the person’s assessed needs.
Does every resident have a personalised care plan?
Residents receive an assessment and personalised plan reflecting their care needs, risks, preferences and goals. Plans should be reviewed rather than treated as fixed documents.
How does onsite GP support reflect your values?
Dedicated onsite private GP support is included for residents as part of Esmere Gardens’ all-inclusive approach. It supports continuity, familiar oversight and timely discussion when health concerns arise.
What does all-inclusive care mean at Esmere Gardens?
It brings everyday care, accommodation and a range of regular services into one clearer package. The team will explain the current fee, inclusions and relevant terms before admission.
What should I do if I have a concern?
Raise it promptly with the team or home leadership so it can be understood and addressed. Transparent leadership means families should know who to approach and receive a clear response.
Are cultural, spiritual and dietary preferences respected?
These preferences should be discussed during assessment and care planning. The aim is to understand what matters to each resident rather than assume that everyone wants the same routines or experiences.
Can Esmere Gardens help with an urgent admission?
Short-notice or urgent admission may be possible depending on availability and whether the home can safely meet the person’s assessed needs. Call 01608 692222 to discuss the situation directly.
How can I see whether these values are genuine?
Visit the home, observe everyday interactions, ask specific questions and check independent evidence such as the CQC profile and family reviews. You can arrange a visit by calling 01608 692222 or using the contact form.

Nursing Care FAQs
Helpful answers for families looking for nursing care in Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds.
How can I find a care home that offers nursing care in Gloucestershire?
If you are looking for a care home that offers nursing care in Gloucestershire, start by checking whether the home has registered nurses on site, whether it can support changing health needs, and whether it is regulated by the Care Quality Commission. At Esmere Gardens in Moreton-in-Marsh, residents can receive nursing care with nurses on site 24 hours a day, dedicated private GP support, dementia care where needed, and all-inclusive fees designed to give families clearer expectations and peace of mind.
What is the difference between a residential care home and a nursing care home?
A residential care home supports people with daily living, personal care, meals, companionship and routine support. A nursing care home also has registered nurses available to support more complex health needs, medication, monitoring, changing conditions and clinical care. Esmere Gardens provides residential, nursing, dementia and respite care, meaning support can adapt if a resident’s needs change over time.
When should someone consider moving into a nursing home?
Nursing care may be suitable when a person needs regular clinical support, close health monitoring, complex medication management, mobility support, wound care, palliative care, or help following a hospital stay. Families often consider nursing care when care at home no longer feels safe, reliable or manageable. A care assessment can help decide whether nursing care is the right next step.
Does Esmere Gardens provide 24-hour nursing care?
Yes. Esmere Gardens provides nursing care with nurses on site 24 hours a day. This means residents can receive professional support throughout the day and night, giving families reassurance that help is available quickly if a resident’s health needs change.
Can Esmere Gardens support residents with both nursing and dementia care needs?
Yes. Many people need more than one type of support, especially if they are living with dementia alongside physical health needs. Esmere Gardens offers nursing care and dementia care in the same home, helping residents receive joined-up support in a calm, familiar and reassuring environment.
What nursing care is available in Moreton-in-Marsh?
Esmere Gardens provides nursing care in Moreton-in-Marsh for older people who need professional clinical support as well as daily care, meals, companionship and activities. The home supports residents from Moreton-in-Marsh, the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire and nearby areas including Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Campden, Broadway, Blockley and Bourton-on-the-Water.
Can a nursing home help after a hospital discharge?
Yes. A nursing home can help when someone is ready to leave hospital but still needs care, monitoring, rehabilitation support or confidence before returning home or making a longer-term decision. Esmere Gardens can support short-term respite, urgent admissions and longer-term nursing care, depending on the resident’s needs and room availability.
Does Esmere Gardens offer private GP support for nursing residents?
Yes. Esmere Gardens offers dedicated private GP support alongside its nursing care. This can help residents receive regular clinical input, quicker reviews where appropriate, and more joined-up support from professionals who understand their needs, routines and health history.
What should I ask when choosing a nursing care home?
Useful questions include: Are nurses on site 24 hours a day? Is the home regulated by the CQC? Can the home support dementia or changing health needs? How are medicines managed? What happens if a resident becomes unwell? Are fees clear? Can families visit easily? At Esmere Gardens, families are encouraged to visit, ask questions and understand how care is planned before making a decision.
Is nursing care suitable for people with complex health needs?
Nursing care is often suitable for people with more complex health needs that require regular input from registered nurses. This may include long-term conditions, frailty, mobility difficulties, medication needs, wound care, nutrition support or end-of-life care. Before admission, Esmere Gardens carries out an assessment to make sure the home can safely and properly support each person.
Can someone move from residential care to nursing care if their needs increase?
Yes, if a person’s needs increase, they may require nursing care instead of residential care. Because Esmere Gardens provides both residential and nursing care, residents may be able to receive increased support without the disruption of moving to a completely different home, subject to assessment and suitability.
How are nursing care fees different from residential care fees?
Nursing care can cost more than residential care because it includes support from registered nurses and often involves more complex care needs. At Esmere Gardens, fees are all-inclusive, helping families understand what is included and reducing uncertainty around everyday care costs. Families may also wish to ask about NHS-funded nursing care or other funding options, depending on eligibility.
Can residents receive nursing care for short stays or respite care?
Yes. Nursing respite care can be helpful after illness, surgery, a hospital stay, or when family carers need a break. Esmere Gardens offers respite care where suitable, giving residents access to nursing support, comfortable accommodation, meals, activities and reassurance in a safe care home setting.
What makes Esmere Gardens a trusted nursing home in the Cotswolds?
Esmere Gardens is a purpose-built nursing home in Moreton-in-Marsh, offering nursing, residential, dementia and respite care in a calm Cotswold setting. Families often look for a home that combines clinical confidence with warmth, comfort and everyday quality of life. Esmere Gardens supports this through 24-hour nursing care, private GP support, all-inclusive fees and a focus on helping residents feel settled, known and safe.

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.

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.

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

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.
