About OSJCT The Meadows
OSJCT The Meadows offers nursing, residential, dementia, respite and intermediate care for older people in Didcot. Nursing support can be arranged during recovery from a major operation or on a longer-term basis, while dementia care is built around life stories, routines and personal preferences.
The home combines care with activities and spaces intended to support daily engagement. Its dementia approach includes mandatory staff training covering communication, behaviour and promoting independence. Families can also consider respite care, making the home suitable for both continuing support and shorter stays. Nursing care while recovering from a major operation is one of its documented uses.

Questions families ask
How do they personalise dementia care for residents?
They get to know each resident’s life story, preferences and routines, then use this information to shape care plans, familiar routines, meaningful activities and supportive surroundings.
Are staff trained in dementia care?
Yes. All care employees complete mandatory dementia training covering risk reduction, communication, behaviour, living with dementia and promoting independence. Some of the pathway is endorsed by Dementia UK.
What activities are available for residents with dementia?
Activities are designed around residents’ interests, abilities and life experiences. They can include creative activities, gardening, music, baking and familiar routines, with sensory activities for people in later-stage dementia.
How much does OSJCT The Meadows cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask OSJCT The Meadows for its weekly fee. As a guide, Oxfordshire council paid on average £1,123 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
