A warm welcome to Windsor Street Care Centre
Tucked away on a peaceful residential street in north Cheltenham with ample parking and conveniently situated for the very best local amenities, Windsor Street Care Centre is a modern, purpose-built home offering tailored residential, nursing, dementia, respite and day care for up to 81 residents.
With elegant surroundings, award-winning carers, and a true focus on individual wellbeing, Windsor Street is a place to feel safe, valued and at home.
A stylish and welcoming place to call home
Our purpose-built home features well-designed fully ensuite bedrooms, each equipped with a modern nurse call system for peace of mind. Residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms with favourite belongings to create a space that’s truly their own.
Windsor Street is divided into five smaller households, each with its own character and dedicated care team. Every household includes its own comfortable lounges and elegant dining areas, helping to create a warm, family-like atmosphere where everyone feels they belong.
Nature, connection and joy
Our beautifully landscaped garden has been thoughtfully designed to stimulate the senses and support wellbeing. From water features to raised flowerbeds, there’s something for everyone to enjoy - whether you’re green-fingered or simply love to sit outdoors.
Family and friends are always welcome to join residents on the terrace for a glass of wine in the sunshine, and in the warmer months, our team regularly hosts garden parties and barbecues for all to enjoy.
Living life to the full
Our approach to care is about more than just meeting needs - it’s about supporting people to live life their way.
Residents help shape our vibrant activities programme, which includes everything from crafts, music and gardening to day trips, theatre outings and seaside visits. Whether it’s a quiet coffee in town or an afternoon at the races, every experience is designed to promote connection, joy and independence.
Hairdressing, chiropody, physiotherapy and other regular services are also available on-site for comfort and convenience.
Continuity of care and peace of mind
At Windsor Street, we’re proud to provide a full range of care, so residents can continue living in the place they know and love, even if their needs change over time.
Our home is specially designed to support people living with dementia, and residents benefit from access to our own Admiral Nurses - dementia care specialists trained by Dementia UK. These professionals offer life-changing guidance and emotional support to both residents and families, helping everyone feel better equipped and more at ease.
Whether someone joins us for short-term respite care or long-term support, our experienced team is here to provide personalised, compassionate care at every stage.
Conveniently situated for the best of Cheltenham
Within walking distance of local shops and cafés, Windsor Street is a wonderful base from which to explore this beautiful Cotswolds town with your loved ones. The home enjoys ample parking and is within easy distance of the racecourse, situated to ensure it has a strong community feel.
Locals are often invited into the home to enjoy various events with the residents, from parties and outdoor screenings in the garden to Christmas fairs and musical soirées.
Care you can feel confident in
A first-class home that cares for its residents, has been consistent in its care for the past two years, nursing our loved one through Covid twice and bringing them back to good health. Couldn't ask for more.
Daughter-in-Law of Resident, Windsor Street Care Centre
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 Windsor Street. 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.
