Nazareth House Cheltenham is underpinned by a person-centred approach to care. This means that no matter whether an individual is with us because they are seeking to alleviate the stress of running a home, or because they require specialist support with an ongoing medical condition, we are committed to understanding their needs, abilities, and the circumstances that are unique to them. In doing so, we are able to provide the very best, tailored support to address a broad range of care requirements.
Nazareth House Cheltenham is a CQC registered, 68-bedded home offering welcoming, well-presented accommodation and 24-hour access to qualified medical professionals. Communal areas, including spacious lounges and dining rooms, offer spots for residents to spend quality time with friends, family and peers, whilst enjoying excellent views of the site’s fully accessible gardens and grounds. In addition to this, the property now includes two beautiful, newly refurbished spaces: the reception and St Joseph’s wing. These areas prioritise light and have been thoughtfully designed to promote a sense of warmth, comfort and calm.
Small touches such as designing the menu in collaboration with our residents helps us to promote a sense of inclusion and demonstrate respect for the fact that Nazareth House is first and foremost their home. We are also hugely fortunate to receive support from Friends of Nazareth, a group of volunteers who are dedicated to improving the lives of our residents. The volunteers organise various fundraising activities throughout the year in which our residents can become involved, and crucially their presence connects Nazareth House to the wider community in an extremely positive way.

Meet our Team

Tina CousinsGeneral Manager
I began my career in care as a carer and, over the years, have worked hard to progress into management roles. I have managed both a nursing home and learning disability services, which has enabled me to support people with a wide range of care needs. I have also completed my Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care.
Throughout my time in care, I have learned that no two people are the same. Everyone has their own wishes, preferences and life experiences, and I believe we should do all we can to help each person achieve what matters most to them. This is the approach that my team and I take when caring for our residents.
I enjoy finding out who each resident was before they came to live with us and helping them reconnect with the things that bring them joy, identity and purpose. I encourage all residents to live each day in a way that is meaningful to them, ensuring they have a voice and remain involved in the care we provide.
Our team is dedicated to creating a homely and inclusive environment where hospitality is always felt and respect is shown in everything we do. We understand the importance of patience, kindness and love when delivering dementia care.
We always endeavour to work closely with relatives, building trusting relationships that help us deliver truly person-centred care.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my children and my partner. Family time is very important to me, and we enjoy holidays abroad, exploring new places, seeing the world and making memories together.
