Meet The Manager
Latoya Edwards is Home Manager at Wytham House.
As a dedicated home manager, I’m committed to creating a supportive and positive environment for both the team and residents, where compassion, respect, and dignity are at the heart of everything we do. The most joyful part of my job is seeing the smiles and gratitude from residents and their families.
Located in the grounds of Oaken Holt Estate, Wytham House provides round the clock residential, nursing and dementia care on a permanent and respite basis, as well as compassionate end of life care.
Residents at the Oxford care home can enjoy quality facilities including cosy communal areas, a cinema room and hair and beauty salon. The bedrooms at Wytham House are tastefully decorated, each with their own en-suite bathroom. Outside, relax with loved ones in the beautiful, landscaped garden.
Wytham House is within easy reach of Witney and Kidlington, and close to Farmoor Reservoir. Thanks to the dedicated lifestyle team, there is always something to look forward to, from regular activities to events and outings in the home’s own minibus.
