Residents and their families have rated OSJCT as one of the Top 20 care home groups in the UK, according to the 2026 carehome.co.uk Top 20 Care Home Awards.

There are 2,061 care homes groups in the UK.

The award is based entirely on independent reviews from residents, as well as their friends and relatives, recognising care providers that consistently deliver high-quality care and support.

carehome.co.uk is the UK’s leading website for finding and choosing a care home. It helps families understand their care home options, explore what is available locally, build a shortlist and arrange viewings with homes that best match their individual needs.

The website lists all registered care homes in the UK and provides verified reviews, inspection ratings and transparent fee information. It also operates a free expert care helpline to support people searching for care.

There are nearly 17,000 care homes across the UK, caring for around half a million people. Each year, carehome.co.uk recognises the top 20 care home groups based on published reviews, highlighting those making an exceptional difference to residents’ lives.

Almost one in five people are now aged 65 or over and nearly one in 10 people are aged 75 and over. This figure is expected to rise significantly over the coming decades and demand for high-quality care will continue to grow. 

These awards, based on real reviews, help families feel more confident and informed when choosing a care home.

Dan Hayes OBE, Chief Executive of The Orders of St John Care Trust, said: “We are incredibly proud to be recognised once again among the Top 20 Care Home Groups by carehome.co.uk. 

"As this award is based entirely on independent reviews from residents and their families, it highlights the trust placed in us and provides meaningful recognition of our teams’ unwavering commitment to delivering compassionate, loving care every day.”

Amanda Hopkins, Reviews Manager at carehome.co.uk, added: “Being named as a Top 20 care home group is a significant achievement, as the award is based on feedback from residents and their families who have first-hand experience of the care provided.

“We are delighted to congratulate The Orders of St John Care Trust on this huge achievement. These awards celebrate excellence in care and demonstrate The Orders of St John Care Trust’s commitment to delivering first-rate care across its homes.

“The highest-rated care home groups make a profound difference to residents’ lives by placing compassion, respect and dignity at the heart of everything they do.”
