Latest update for Visitors
Here at The Orders of St John Care Trust our priority is the safety and wellbeing of residents, colleagues and visitors in our services. Following Monday’s advice by the government on the vulnerability of the over 70s we have made the difficult but responsible decision to restrict access to our homes to all but the most essential visitors required to either to protect the health of our residents, or to ensure that buildings remain safe and essential supplies are delivered.

Meet the team
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 friends and families to enjoy.
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 Jubilee Lodge. 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.

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.
Events
As we are located in a beautiful and historical town centre, there's never a dull moment. We run regular activities for all to join in:

Matt Peach
Jenny Gold
Home Manager
After working in Industry for many years I transitioned into the Care Sector, working as a Regional Director and then as an Interim Manager and Consultant before joining OSJCT at Jubilee Lodge.
Head Chef
As Head Chef every day is different for Matt, but a typical day would start by receiving the days deliveries and cooking a good hearty breakfast before preparing a delicious lunch and afternoon tea. The kitchen bakes fresh cakes every day and Matt ensures every resident has a piece of their favourite cake. Matt meets daily with the nominated resident of the day to ensure that they are happy with their nutritional intake and ensure preferences are up together.
Matt meets with every new resident that moves in and finds out their favourite meals and favourite cakes so he can accommodate that.
Outside of work Matt enjoys socialising with his wife and 5 children alongside a bit of reading and the odd game of darts while enjoying a beer in the local pub.
Matt has worked for the trust since early 2018 and has completed Level 2 Food Hygiene and NVQ Level 2 in Professional Cooking. Matt is very passionate about food and really enjoys working in the care industry.
Deputy Manager
Jenny joined Jubilee Lodge in Autumn 2019 having relocated to the Cotswolds from Surrey. Jenny has a wealth of experience following a successful nursing career predominately working in the community. Jenny qualified as an adult nurse in 1997 from St. Georges Hospital Medical School in London.
Jenny enjoyed her time working in the community where she found visiting the elderly in their own homes and delivering care was a delight. As Jenny has a vast amount of experience working with older people, she was able to slot right in at Jubilee Lodge and focus on the residents all under one roof. Jenny ensures that she builds relationships with residents and their families, and she gives her all to ensuring they receive the best care possible.
Jenny proudly holds a medal awarded by City and Guilds for outstanding achievement in Communication skills, Jenny came 1st out of 33,000 people in the country and Jenny is also an ambassador for a charity MSAVLC who provide medical and scientific aid in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.
Outside of work Jenny is a busy mum to her 2 children and enjoys walks with their family dog. Jenny loves going to the theatre and cooking at home while listening to her favourite music.
