Simple guide to fees & funding
Paying for long-term residential or nursing care can feel overwhelming, and understandably so. Unlike NHS healthcare, care home services are not free for most people. How much you contribute depends on personal circumstances, including income, assets, and care needs. At OSJCT, we aim to make the process of funding care as clear as possible.
What affects the cost of care?
- Type of care - residential, nursing, dementia, or respite
- Location - care costs in Abingdon may differ from other parts of the UK
- Individual needs - the level of daily support required
- Financial circumstances - state or private funding
What funding options are available?
- NHS Funded Nursing Care (FNC): A weekly payment from the NHS to contribute toward the cost of nursing care if it is required. This does not cover all care home fees - only the nursing element.
- Local authority funding: Means-tested support from your local council based on your finances and care needs. This may include schemes such as Deferred Payment Agreements, which allow you to use the value of your home to fund care, or the 12-Week Property Disregard, where your home is temporarily ignored in financial assessments if you have been in hospital or are receiving permanent care.
- Self-funding: If your savings and assets exceed the threshold for local authority support, you will need to pay privately for your care. Independent financial advice is recommended to plan effectively and explore all available options.
Getting the right guidance
Care funding can be complex, so we always recommend speaking with an independent specialist care fees adviser. OSJCT is affiliated with SOLLA (Society of Later Life Advisers), a professional body dedicated to advisers specialising in later-life financial planning, including care home funding.
Strong connections with the Abingdon community
Our Abingdon homes are closely linked with local groups, schools, and volunteers, bringing variety and companionship into everyday life.
These community relationships allow residents to stay connected to familiar places and people, whether through shared events, visits, or gentle social activities.

As a charitable trust, OSJCT reinvests in our homes, colleagues, and residents. This long-term commitment helps ensure stability, quality, and a clear focus on wellbeing.

Mum has been in Old Station House for a year now, and it is the best decision we made. She enjoys taking part in all the activities, especially the quiz and carpet bowls. All the staff are excellent and take good care of her, and she enjoys the food she's served. We are kept informed if there are any health issues. She's also able to have her regular hairdresser go every week.

Choosing the right care home is an important step for any family. Taking the process slowly and focusing on the essentials can help you feel more confident and prepared. Here are three helpful ways to begin:

- Visit in person: seeing daily life for yourself, meeting the teams, and getting a feel for the atmosphere can make all the difference. A visit also gives you the chance to ask questions and understand how care is personalised.
