New 66-Bed Care Home to Open in Bicester

30 June 2026 Otwell Grove

Crystal Care Collection has announced the operation of an upcoming care home, Otwell Grove, a purpose‑built home in Bicester which will provide high‑quality residential and dementia care for older people in Oxfordshire.

Oxfordshire’s ageing population is creating increasing demand for high-quality residential and dementia care, while nationally the availability of care home beds relative to the older population has fallen by more than a quarter since 2012.

Otwell Grove has been developed to help meet this growing need, providing 66 purpose-built en suite bedrooms, premium communal facilities and innovative technology designed to support residents’ independence and wellbeing.

Once the home is fully occupied, circa 60 new roles will be created, including care, housekeeping, catering, management and activities team members.

This will bring significant long‑term employment opportunities to Bicester, with Crystal Care Collection committed to recruiting locally and offering training and development for people seeking a career in care.

Maria Taylor, Managing Director at Crystal Care Collection in the Midlands, said, “Otwell Grove represents a significant investment in the future of care in Bicester, and we are committed to making it a valued part of the local community.

“We look forward to regularly welcoming local groups, schools and volunteers through our doors, creating opportunities for residents to stay active and engaged at the heart of life in Bicester.”

Crystal Care Collection’s all‑inclusive, ‘Crystal Clear’ fee at Otwell Grove means one fixed weekly price covers everything from 24‑hour care, freshly prepared meals and housekeeping to hairdressing, chiropody, days out and a packed calendar of activities.

There are no hidden extras or surprise bills, so residents can simply enjoy life, and families have complete peace of mind about the cost of care no matter the needs of the resident.
