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 Buckinghamshire 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.

Connected to Aylesbury’s community

As the county town, Aylesbury is home to a diverse and active community. 

Our care homes have strong links with local groups, volunteers, and schools, bringing a sense of connection, variety, and belonging into daily life.

Not-for-profit care you can rely on

As a charitable trust, OSJCT reinvests directly into our homes, colleagues, and residents. 

That means care in Aylesbury that always puts people first, guided by values of integrity, transparency, and compassion.

My grandmother unfortunately had to move into a care home unexpectedly. However, despite it being a big change for my gran, the staff at Lewin House were exceptional. The love and support they provided for my gran was second to none. Everyone made my gran feel so comfortable from the day she came and made her feel as much like being at home as possible. The facilities at Lewin House are incredible, with there being activities suited to all. We could not recommend Lewin House more.

  • Visit the homes - seeing the environment first-hand, meeting the team, and asking questions makes the decision clearer.
  • Think about location and lifestyle - being close to family, friends, and familiar places in Aylesbury can make the move smoother and more reassuring.
