“The Lakes were taking part in a baking competition, and I was lucky enough to transport one of our keen baking residents and his family to the grand finale in Bath. This resident was from a farming background, and it was an absolute pleasure to see the look on his face as we drove around the countryside and told tales of his farming days.”

Expert dementia care, with Admiral Nurse support
For residents living with dementia, The Lakes offers specialist support underpinned by compassion and expertise. Our team includes the support of an Admiral Nurse - a dementia specialist trained by Dementia UK - who works closely with residents, families and staff to provide tailored advice and emotional support.
A home designed for wellbeing
Our home has been purpose-built to support wellbeing in every sense. From spacious personalised bedrooms to elegant communal lounges, residents have the freedom to relax, socialise or enjoy quiet time as they choose.
Beautiful landscaped gardens offer views across open countryside, while our on-site gym and sociable bistro help residents stay active and connected. Whether it’s a celebration in the private dining room or a peaceful afternoon outdoors, every detail has been designed with care.
Not-for-profit, people-first
The Lakes Care Centre is part of The Orders of St John Care Trust, one of the UK’s leading not-for-profit care providers.
That means every penny is reinvested into our homes, staff training, and resident experience — not shareholders. Our focus is always on people, not profit, ensuring thoughtful, high-quality care in a home residents and families can trust.
My sister is very happy living at The Lakes Care Centre. She gets all the care she needs, with empathy and allowing her to keep her dignity. She has, on many occasions, told me how lucky she is to live in such a lovely home.

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 The Lakes Care Centre. 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:
- Arts and crafts
- ‘Pat the dog’ – a visit from a trained dog
- Coffee mornings
- 100th birthday party
- Lunch club
- Manicure and massage
- Gents’ club
- Flower arranging
- Visiting musicians
- Knit2gether
- Visit from the Beavers
- Christmas party’s
- Summer fete
- Church service
- Gardening
- Mind song (music therapy)
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.
The menus change daily, and the kettle is always on, so hot drinks are available throughout the day.
Each of the four households have their own personal kitchen-dining room where residents u can take their meals if they wish. Residents are also encouraged to help prepare their own food, and to make snacks.

Fiona has been Deputy Manager at The Lakes Care Centre since February 2024. Prior to this, Fiona spent time nearly 5 years working as a Bursar at another OSJCT care home, Millbrook Lodge, in Brockworth.
“No two days are ever the same at The Lakes. I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to interact with our wonderful residents and their families” Fiona said.
When asked what her favourite memory was from her time at The Lakes, Fiona reflected on one of these many opportunities she had to interact with a resident and their loved one.
“The Lakes were taking part in a baking competition, and I was lucky enough to transport one of our keen baking residents and his family to the grand finale in Bath. This resident was from a farming background, and it was an absolute pleasure to see the look on his face as we drove around the countryside and told tales of his farming days.”
In her spare time away from The Lakes, Fiona enjoys travelling, trips to the movies and theatre, as well as spending as much time with her loving family as possible.
