OSJCT Moments
With so many precious moments happening in and around our homes each day, what better way to document it than in a weekly, bite-size story that can be shared with and enjoyed by everyone. Here are some of the inspired moments of joy our residents, teams and communities have been appreciating recently.

Being told you’ve tested positive for the virus can be a very worrying time; we spoke to some of our residents who have recovered from COVID-19 and here’s what they had to say.

I’m looking forward to having my hair done and then going for a walk in my wheelchair and going to shop for clothes. I suddenly realised that probably no-one attended my husbands’ grave so I phoned up my son who lives quite near; he phoned me to say that he’s tidied it all up and he’s going to the garden centre to get some fresh flowers to put on there.”
The lockdown has also been difficult for families and friends of loved ones in our homes who have, until recently, been unable to visit. Here’s what some of them had to say on the independent review website - carehome.co.uk
My Mother has been in Hartsholme House for a couple of years now and we are continually impressed by the care and kindness of the staff, who clearly know the residents well. With the current news headlines full of gloom and doom about care homes, I was relieved to hear that Hartsholme House is coping and has PPE. Although my Mother now has to stay in her room, I was assured a member of staff finds time to sit with her while she has a drink, etc to ensure she still has contact with people.
Trust we care
Our care homes remain open to new admissions and we can promise a warm welcome and the highest level of professional care to anyone moving into an OSJCT home.
