Why families choose OSJCT in Bourne
Choosing a care home is about more than facilities or services, it’s about finding a place where people feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. In Bourne, families trust OSJCT for the steady reassurance that comes from familiar faces, thoughtful care, and a strong connection to the local community.
Care shaped around the individual
In our Bourne homes, care starts with listening. We take time to understand personal histories, routines, and preferences, so support feels familiar rather than imposed. Small details like how someone likes their day to begin, what brings comfort, and what helps them feel settled, shape how care is delivered.
This personal approach helps residents feel more at ease and gives families confidence that their loved one is known as a person, not just a set of needs.
Consistent, supportive care teams
Families often tell us that continuity matters. In Bourne, residents are supported by dedicated teams who know them well, creating a sense of stability and trust. Familiar faces, gentle encouragement, and clear communication help daily life feel predictable and reassuring.
Our teams are trained and supported to respond as needs change, ensuring care remains attentive and compassionate over time, without losing the warmth that makes a home feel welcoming.
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 Bourne 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.
A calm setting with strong community roots
Bourne’s close-knit, market-town character naturally lends itself to a slower pace and a strong sense of belonging. Our homes reflect this, offering calm spaces, shared moments, and opportunities to stay connected with the local area.
Whether through everyday conversations, gentle activities, or links with the wider community, residents are supported to feel part of something familiar, not cut off from it.
Not-for-profit values, transparent care
As a charitable trust, OSJCT reinvests every penny back into our residents, homes, and colleagues.
That means families in Bourne can expect transparent communication, consistent standards, and care that always puts people first.
Absolutely lovely home. Our uncle stayed in several places before coming here. He has never been happier. The staff are lovely, so is the food. The care he receives is excellent. The best home... Thank You

How to choose the right care home in Bourne
Choosing the right care home is a significant decision, and it’s natural to want clarity and reassurance before taking the next step. Many families in Bourne find it helpful to focus on a few simple considerations when comparing options.
- Start with care needs: Think about the level of support required now, and whether care may need to adapt in the future, whether that’s residential, dementia, or short-term respite care.
- Visit and trust your instincts: Seeing a home in person can make all the difference. Meeting the team, observing daily life, and getting a feel for the atmosphere often helps families understand whether a place feels right.
- Consider location and familiarity: Being close to home, familiar surroundings, or local connections in Bourne can help residents settle more comfortably and stay connected with family and friends.
