Nestled in the heart of Holmer Green, just outside High Wycombe, Cherry Garth offers expert residential and dementia care in a modern, welcoming environment. Our home is a vibrant place to live where residents are supported to live life their way, every day.
What our residents and families say about us
Specialist dementia and residential care
Our experienced team offers highly personalised support for older people, including those living with dementia or requiring short-term respite. Every resident has a personal care plan tailored to their needs, preferences and goals - with regular reviews to ensure it always fits.
We work closely with families and local healthcare professionals to provide consistent, compassionate care around the clock.
A vibrant, purpose-built care home
Cherry Garth is designed to feel like home. Our 60 en-suite bedrooms are arranged across four smaller wings, each with its own lounges, dining areas and kitchenettes to support a more intimate, community feel.
There’s always something to enjoy - from our popular weekly cooking club to a wide range of engaging activities and events. Indoors, residents can relax in spacious communal areas, visit the café, join in sessions in the activity room, or enjoy a little pampering in the on-site salon. Outside, the enclosed landscaped garden offers raised flower beds, a potting shed, and peaceful spots to sit and spend time with friends and family.
For people, not profit
As part of The Orders of St John Care Trust, we’re proud to be a charitable, not-for-profit provider. We reinvest straight back into our care homes - whether that’s new equipment, specialist training or improving resident activities and environments.
It’s our way of keeping the focus where it belongs; on the people who live and work here.

We were invited to afternoon tea with our friend, a resident at Cherry Garth. It was a very enjoyable afternoon. The room was decorated for Christmas and the staff had gone to lots of trouble to provide a lovely tea. It’s always welcoming and bright at Cherry Garth, with plenty of staff about and a happy atmosphere. Our friend, and neighbour, is very happy there and it’s always a pleasure to visit.
Friend of Resident, Cherry Garth
Whether it’s wet or dry outside, we at OSJCT feel that activities are essential in providing the best caring environment to live in.
Hobbies don’t simply stop when living with us at Cherry Garth. We have a dedicated Activities Co-ordinator who works closely with our residents to create a programme of fulfilling activities and events, tailored around each resident’s requests, hobbies and interests. The programme of events and activities provide a source of fun and laughter, to help each resident live their life to the full and make new friendships.
We are also fortunate to have the support of many volunteers of all ages from the local community, strengthening our links to this thriving market town. Here is a sample of activities on offer:
- Trips to garden centres, cafés, pub’s, sporting events, National Trust parks, wildlife parks, aquariums and museums
- Visit from Pets as Therapy Dogs
- Exercise and wellness activities, for example Seated Yoga, Zumba
- Fun activities with the local toddler and nursery group
- Board game competitions and quizzes
- Gardening
- Arts and crafts
- Communal Church services
With so many well-being activities for body and mind on offer, we also recognise that everyone needs some personal space for relaxation and mindfulness for personal reflection. The cosy lounges offer an opportunity for some quiet time or to host family and friends.
And that’s not all:
We’ve had silent discos, hoe downs, Chinese banquets, Oscar parties and so much more.
Many of the activities feature Reminiscence Therapy to aid those living with Dementia to remember events, people and places using sight, touch, taste, smell and sound.
The talented chef and kitchen team prepare tasty, home-cooked meals on site daily from our own kitchens. We source quality produce for our excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. All-day dining is available for lighter meals and snacks and all dishes are carefully balanced to get the best nutritional value and cater for individual dietary requirements and preferences.
Seasonal produce is chosen whenever possible and of course, relatives and friends are always welcome to join us. The menus change daily and the kettle is always on. Our chef bakes every day so there is always a fresh cake for residents, friends and families to enjoy.
Each of the households has their own small kitchen dining room where residents can take their meals if they wish. Residents are also encouraged to help prepare their own food and to make snacks whenever they choose.
