Introduction

St Katharine's House is a community of elderly people and aims to provide a comfortable caring home in a Christian environment until they die. The Warden is an experienced administrator and his deputy, the Nursing and Care Manager, is a level one registered nurse.

The House has accommodation for 75 residents (52 residential and 23 nursing) and lies in spacious grounds, only ten minutes walk from the Wantage shopping centre, library and Parish Church. The Baptist, Methodist and Roman Catholic churches are also within easy walking distance. Each resident has her own bed-sitting room (average area 14 sq metres) which she furnishes herself. The rooms all have built-in cupboards and wash basins with hot and cold water. Each room is also connected to the Nursing Wing by means of a call-bell. There is a lift.
