T
he first images of a new care home recently completed in Gloucestershire have been unveiled. The Orders of St John Care Trust
(OSJCT) and contractor, Stepnell, have released the first photos of Edwardstow Court in Stow-on-the-Wold. The £5.4m facility will offer specialist
dementia and residential care, welcoming its first residents early next year. Designed by Hunters, the three-
storey, 48-bed home features stylish and comfortable, modern surroundings arranged in small ‘households’ comprising eight bedrooms. Each household also has its own sociable living spaces including a sitting room, kitchen and dining area. Communal facilities include a hair and
beauty salon, shop, and a café/tearoom. The building’s large single bedrooms
all have en-suite shower facilities with assisted bathrooms also available in each household.
In keeping with its surroundings, the
building has a traditional Cotswold stone exterior and the roof is partly tiled in natural stone while also incorporating an environmentally- friendly living ‘green roof’ made of sedum plants, which absorb rainwater and provide a habitat for wildlife. Outside, there is a landscaped and
secure sensory garden and communal gardens which can be accessed from the café.
