A warm welcome to our home
Henlow Court located in a residential area of Dursley, offers high-quality, compassionate and trusted residential, nursing and respite care to 40 residents. The home is situated in a quiet residential area in the town of Dursley and is within walking distance of the shops and amenities.
Homely comforts indoors and out
The cosy and welcoming entrance hall greets you as you arrive. The sunny main lounge and attractive gardens are a great place for residents to find peace and quiet to relax with a book. This charming space exudes a homely atmosphere, with attractive bedrooms and thoughtfully designed landscaped gardens.
A buzz of activity and spaces to unwind
Activities and events take place daily within Henlow Court and there are many busy spots around the home for you to take part in activities taking place. For those who prefer peaceful relaxation, our cosy lounges are the ideal place to find this.
Supporting independence every day
The purpose-built home environment has been specifically designed to support the needs of older people including those with dementia, from aiding memory in day-to-day living and reminiscence therapy, to reinforcing personal identity and navigating around the home.
Care you can feel confident in
My mum has recently arrived in Henlow. I am very impressed with the level of care. Always clean and tidy. Staff are ever so friendly and the residents are so happy. My mum has settled really fast and I am really pleased. Keep up the great work.
Daughter of Resident, Henlow Court
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 Henlow Court. 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, pubs, 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
- Music therapy sessions
- 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 family 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.
