A warm welcome to Sir Aubrey Ward House
Located in the centre of Marlow, just a short walk from the town centre, Marlow Bridge and the picturesque Marlow Lock, Sir Aubrey Ward House is a purpose-built 60-bed home full of local charm. We offer high-quality residential, dementia, and short-term respite care in a warm, welcoming environment—where dignity, comfort, and personalised support come first.
Personalised care, delivered with compassion
Our experienced team supports a range of individual needs with personal care plans tailored to each resident - reviewed regularly to ensure support always meets people where they are. Whether you're looking for long-term dementia care or a short break, we provide peace of mind in a safe, respectful and encouraging environment.
Residents benefit from 24-hour care, a key worker for continuity, and strong partnerships with local health professionals to ensure holistic support.
A warm, vibrant care home in Marlow
Sir Aubrey Ward House is a modern, light-filled care home with 60 en-suite bedrooms across four wings. All rooms are wheelchair accessible, and residents are encouraged to bring personal items to help make their space feel like home.
Communal living is at the heart of our home, with inviting lounges, quiet seating areas, activity spaces and a reception and café area for social events. There’s easy access to all floors via stairs and lift, plus first-floor balconies and an enclosed courtyard garden where residents can relax, grow vegetables or simply enjoy the fresh air.
An active and connected lifestyle
Our home is filled with opportunities to connect, create and feel part of something special. Residents enjoy a wide range of activities, from gardening and gentle fitness to music, crafts, quizzes and community events.
We’re proud of our links with the local area, particularly St Peter’s School, whose pupils regularly visit to sing and take part in our Reading Buddy scheme. Young people from the community also volunteer with us, helping foster a warm, intergenerational atmosphere.
Food that brings people together
Mealtimes are a much-loved part of daily life at Sir Aubrey Ward House. Our talented chefs prepare fresh, home-cooked meals on-site every day, using local ingredients wherever possible. We offer a variety of menu options and happily cater for individual dietary needs.
Residents enjoy meals in our sociable dining areas, and friends and family are welcome to join in for a small charge - or make use of the kitchenettes for a more casual visit, just like at home.
For people, not profit
As part of The Orders of St John Care Trust, we’re proud to be a charitable, not-for-profit provider. We reinvest straight back into our care homes - whether that’s new equipment, specialist training or improving resident activities and environments.
It’s our way of keeping the focus where it belongs; on the people who live and work here.

We have been so impressed with the staff and how welcoming they are and make a lovely, lively environment for the residents. Lots of entertainment and activities are available if my mother wants to join in. The care is lovely, and Mum feels well cared for and comfortable with the staff.

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 Sir Aubrey Ward House. 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, pub’s, 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
- 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 families 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.
