Joined up support for you

Oxfordshire Association of Care Providers (OACP) and Oxfordshire Care Homes Association are delighted to announce their merger, effective from 17 September 2024. This strategic partnership will create a unified voice to represent care providers across Oxfordshire, enhancing support for care homes, domiciliary care providers, and related health and social care services.
Charles Taylor will join the OACP Board and OACP will continue to support the activities and projects that Oxfordshire Care Homes Association have undertaken, including the annual Occupancy and Pricing Survey.
The merger will allow a greater focus on:
- Greater Advocacy: Representing the needs and concerns of care providers with local authorities, regulators, and policymakers.
- Enhanced Support Services: Offering a wider range of resources, training, and development opportunities for care providers.
- Improved Collaboration: Facilitating stronger networking and collaboration across the care sector to improve care delivery and share best practices.
- Unified Voice: Strengthening representation and influence to secure better outcomes for care providers and service users alike.
- All existing members of both associations will benefit from this merger, enjoying access to expanded resources and a comprehensive support network. The leadership teams from both organisations have been working closely to ensure a seamless transition, and members can expect enhanced communication, training, and networking. OACP will be responsible for collecting Membership fees and will be in touch with existing and potential new members over the next few weeks.
