Why families choose OSJCT in the Cotswolds
Care that feels personal and genuine
Our Cotswold homes are known for their warmth and the strong relationships built between residents, families, and colleagues.
We take time to learn each person’s routines, preferences, and life story, ensuring care feels thoughtful and personal, not rushed or task-focused.
It’s this sense of genuine connection that helps residents feel settled and supported from their very first day.
Skilled teams you can trust
Every OSJCT colleague plays an important part in creating a safe, welcoming home.
Our care teams receive ongoing specialist training, including dementia care, clinical support, and wellbeing activities, so families can trust that their loved one is in experienced, compassionate hands.
Strong CQC ratings and our commitment to continual improvement give added reassurance.
Simple guide to fees & funding
Paying for long-term residential or nursing care can feel overwhelming, and understandably so. Unlike NHS healthcare, care home services are not free for most people. How much you contribute depends on personal circumstances, including income, assets, and care needs. At OSJCT, we aim to make the process of funding care as clear as possible.
What affects the cost of care?
- Type of care - residential, nursing, dementia, or respite
- Location - care costs in the Cotswolds may differ from other parts of the UK
- Individual needs - the level of daily support required
- Financial circumstances - state or private funding
What funding options are available?
- NHS Funded Nursing Care (FNC): A weekly payment from the NHS to contribute toward the cost of nursing care if it is required. This does not cover all care home fees - only the nursing element.
- Local authority funding: Means-tested support from your local council based on your finances and care needs. This may include schemes such as Deferred Payment Agreements, which allow you to use the value of your home to fund care, or the 12-Week Property Disregard, where your home is temporarily ignored in financial assessments if you have been in hospital or are receiving permanent care.
- Self-funding: If your savings and assets exceed the threshold for local authority support, you will need to pay privately for your care. Independent financial advice is recommended to plan effectively and explore all available options.
Getting the right guidance
Care funding can be complex, so we always recommend speaking with an independent specialist care fees adviser. OSJCT is affiliated with SOLLA (Society of Later Life Advisers), a professional body dedicated to advisers specialising in later-life financial planning, including care home funding.
Homes rooted in local community life
Life in the Cotswolds is shaped by close-knit communities, and our homes reflect that.
Residents enjoy connections with local schools, clubs, churches, and volunteer groups, helping them remain part of the familiar places and people they’ve always known.
From fêtes and seasonal celebrations to intergenerational visits, community life is central to our homes.
Not-for-profit care, guided by purpose
As a charitable trust, OSJCT reinvests directly into our homes, colleagues, and resident wellbeing.
Families often tell us this gives them confidence that their loved one’s needs always come first.
Henry Cornish Care Centre is the perfect home for my elderly father, he has quickly made friends, thoroughly enjoys the food (particularly a cooked breakfast) and appreciates the care and attention of the genuinely caring care team. The home is always welcoming - and the staff are friendly and professional, always happy to chat, always happy to assist and proactive in voicing any concerns about my Dad's well-being. It is a great relief and reassurance to me that he is safe, happy and cared for.

Life in our Cotswold care homes
Life in our Cotswold care homes is shaped by the calm, rural charm of the region.
Residents enjoy peaceful surroundings, beautifully kept gardens, and bright shared spaces that feel welcoming and familiar. Whether relaxing with a cup of tea, taking part in gentle activities, or enjoying time outdoors, each day offers something meaningful.
Our wellbeing teams create varied activities that reflect local interests, from arts and crafts to music sessions, visiting groups, or simply enjoying the countryside views. Families are always encouraged to stay involved, with flexible visiting that makes it easy to share time together.
Community connections also play a big part in daily life. Many of our homes welcome local volunteers, school groups, and nearby organisations, helping residents feel part of the wider Cotswold community. These small moments of togetherness often become the highlight of the week.
How to choose the right care home in the Cotswolds
Choosing a care home for yourself or a loved one is a significant decision, and taking a clear, step-by-step approach can make the process feel more manageable. Here are three simple ways to get started:
- Match the care to the need: Whether you’re looking for residential, nursing, dementia, or respite care in the Cotswolds, begin by identifying the type of support that best fits your loved one’s daily needs and long-term wellbeing.
- Visit the homes in person: Nothing replaces experiencing a home for yourself. A visit lets you get a sense of the atmosphere, meet the team, and ask the practical questions that matter most to your family.
- Think about location and lifestyle: Being close to familiar Cotswold towns, countryside walks, or family connections can help make the transition smoother and support ongoing contact.
