The home has been designed in smaller households, to help maintain independence and dignity. All of the spacious furnished bedrooms have en suite facilities, with "wet room" bathrooms. We encourage the personalisation of residents’ bedrooms, with treasured belongings, pictures and memories.

Hayward pub

Residents can enjoy the privacy of their own room or socialise with family and friends in one of the open plan living areas or smaller comfortable lounges on all three floors of the home. We even have our own pub bar decorated by local brewery, Wadworth.

Hayward dining room

Residents can enjoy the daily social activities going on in the central communal areas with the hairdressing salon open during the week. The residents' pub, decorated by our local brewery, is a perfect space for meeting friends and family or in good weather, residents regularly take advantage of the beautiful and accessible landscaped gardens, with seating areas and raised planters. We're proud of our outdoor space and of being recognised as the Best Residential and Care Home garden at Devizes in Bloom 2024.

Meet the team

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 to enjoy.

Each of the household 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.

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.

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.

As we located within a vibrant community, there's never a dull moment. We run regular activities for all to join in:

  • Coffee mornings
  • Care Home Open Day
  • Summer and Autumn fetes
  • Christmas parties

Meet the team

Home Manager

The residents at Hayward Care Centre are cared for by a committed team of over one hundred which includes support workers, catering, ancillary, maintenance and administrative staff. The home is led by the General Manager, Alison Stenning who is supported by a Care Service Manager and a team of Senior Support Workers.

Bursar

Peter has been with the Trust since 2019 and he looks after the non-care side of Hayward Care Centre e.g. the catering, the housekeeping and the maintenance. He loves the friendly atmosphere in the home and that the team create a new phase of life for each of the residents, and new experiences for them. 

Peter retired from the Army after 37 years’ service and now loves to spend his spare time with his grandchildren, or fly-fishing.

Care Service Manager

Glynnis oversees the care across the home and her ethos of care is that it’s all about enabling people to live their lives how they choose. She has worked for OSJCT since 2007 and at Hayward Care Centre since 2015. 

Glynnis is a qualified psychiatric nurse and has links with the local churches to support Hayward’s residents. She loves walking through the doors in the morning knowing that she’s going to make a difference to people in the home. Outside work, Glynnis volunteers with the local Alzheimer’s support group.

Head Nurse

Activities Coordinator

Jemima loves to work with people, and that is evident in everything she does. She organises a varied programme of activities for our residents at Hayward Care Centre and spends time talking to everyone, learning what each likes to do or would like to try. The activities include regular favourites like skittles, curling, music and movement, bingo, and the ever popular – and competitive! – Friday quiz.

Outside work, Jemima runs a Brownie group and teaches a ballet class. Previous roles have included being a nanny, and an outdoor activity instructor. Jemima has worked at Hayward Care Centre since February 2024.

Support Worker

Suzanne has worked at Hayward Care Centre since November 2023, and this is her first role in care. Previously, she worked as cabin crew. 

Suzanne loves following jobs through to the end, and loves the attention to detail that her job allows, remembering all the little things about the people she cares for; who like their tea in a mug and who prefers a cup and saucer? Who likes their toast cut into squares and who prefers triangles?

When she’s not working, Suzanne loves spending time with her young family and being out in the countryside.

Support Worker

Georgie has been with the Trust, and Hayward Care Centre, since 2020 and previously ran a pub with her dad before. Her role now is to support residents however they need, promoting their independence. 

Georgie says that the best thing about her job is being there for the residents, day in, day out, and hearing about their lives, because everyone is different.

Outside work, Georgie likes to spend time with her family, including her nephews.
