OSJCT Edwardstow Court

Food

Our talented chef and kitchen team prepare tasty, home-cooked meals. The freshly prepared, delicious 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.

The menus change daily, and the kettle is always on, so hot drinks are available throughout the day. Our chef bakes daily so there is always a fresh cake to enjoy.

Each of the 6 households have their own small and personal dining room where residents enjoy their meals if they wish. Residents are also encouraged to help prepare their own food, and to help make snacks whenever they feel hungry.

Activities

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 Edwardstow Court. 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 local attractions, for example garden centres or cinemas

With so many well-being activities for body and mind on offer, we also recognise that everyone needs some time to honour their spirit with relaxation and mindfulness for personal reflection. The cosy lounges and garden room offer an opportunity for some quiet time or to host family and friends.
