Oxfordshire care home trust named among ‘best in UK’

The Orders of St John Care Trust (OSJCT) has been recognised as one of the Top 20 Care Home Groups in the UK at the 2026 carehome.co.uk Top 20 Care Home Awards.

The achievement is based on independent reviews from residents and their loved ones.

Dan Hayes OBE, chief executive of OSJCT, 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.”

Carehome.co.uk is the UK’s leading care search website.

The awards are based on more than 127,000 reviews submitted between February 1, 2024 and January 1, 2026.

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager at carehome.co.uk, said: “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.”

Review scores are calculated from multiple categories, including care and support, staff, facilities, dignity, and value for money.

To qualify, more than 75 per cent of a care group’s homes must have a review score.
