A NEW care home in North Oxford is nearing completion and prospective residents will soon be able to have a look around.

Fairfield care home is moving to a state of the art purpose-built facility next to its previous home in Banbury Road.

It will have 40 en-suite bedrooms, some of which are suitable for couples, and spacious living accommodation.

Its old home will be converted into accommodation for about 60 students.

Two open days have now been scheduled - on April 21 and May 2 from 10am to 4pm - for prospective residents or anyone else who wants to see inside the new home.

It is expected to open in the summer.
