About OSJCT Chestnut Court

Here at Chestnut Court, we are a nursing home based in Gloucester, Gloucestershire, and we are proud to be part of the OSJCT family of care providers. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as Good, which reflects the genuine effort our whole team puts into making this a place where people feel safe, valued and at home. We support a wide range of needs under one roof. Whether someone is living with dementia, managing a physical disability, or coping with a visual or hearing impairment, we work hard to understand what matters most to each individual and build their care around that. We also welcome younger adults who require nursing level support, and we offer respite care for those who need a shorter stay, perhaps while a family carer takes a well earned break or while someone recovers after a period in hospital. Nursing care sits at the heart of what we do here. Our nursing staff are on hand around the clock, so residents and their families can feel reassured that clinical support is always available when it is needed. But we also know that good care is about far more than medical needs. It is about conversation, familiarity, routine and dignity. We try to get to know each person properly, not just their care plan, so that we can support them in a way that feels personal rather than procedural. Families are always welcome here and we encourage people to stay involved in the lives of their loved ones. Moving into a nursing home is a big step, and we do our best to make that transition as smooth and comfortable as possible, for the person moving in and for the people who care about them. We would be happy to have a conversation or arrange a visit if you would like to see Chestnut Court for yourself.
