West Oxfordshire ranked second out of 294 English districts as a place to grow old, according to a care home operator study.
Care home operator Lovett Care ranked West Oxfordshire second out of 294 English districts as a place to grow old, with South Oxfordshire eighth.

West Oxfordshire scored 88.7 out of 100 with England's top ranking for community and safety. It has the fourth-lowest loneliness rate nationally, with 3.14 per cent of adults reporting they often or always feel lonely. South Oxfordshire scored highest in Oxfordshire for health and care, with 92.9 per cent of care services rated 'Good' or better by the Care Quality Commission.
Cathryn Fairhurst, Managing Director Operations at Lovett Care, said the study 'was designed to discover which areas offer the best combination of a wide variety of factors that are important to older generations'. Other Oxfordshire districts ranked lower nationally: Vale of White Horse 40th, Cherwell 70th, and Oxford 189th.
