A warm welcome to our home
Henry Cornish Care Centre is situated on the outskirts of the charming Cotswold town of Chipping Norton. The welcoming and warm home offers compassionate, individualised residential, intermediate and respite care for up to 50 residents in a relaxing and comfortable environment.
- Long Term Residential
- Residential Respite
The home has a wonderful atmosphere and the residents love to admire the garden and take in the warm days, whilst being surrounded by the extensive landscaped gardens and raised plant beds. In the garden, residents will find plenty of areas to sit and relax or to stroll down the garden path.
Residents can enjoy the daily social activities going on in the central communal areas with the hairdressing salon open during the week. The café and landscaped gardens are often occupied with residents to relax and enjoy time with their family and friends.

Food
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 and visitors 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.
Activities
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 Henry Cornish. 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
- 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:
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.
