What our residents and their families are saying about us

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.

Life in our Buckinghamshire care homes

Life in our Buckinghamshire care homes is about more than care; it’s about enjoying each day with warmth, dignity, and companionship. Residents can share freshly prepared meals, relax in welcoming lounges or sunny gardens, and take part in activities that bring both joy and purpose, from music and gentle exercise to seasonal celebrations and local outings.

Families and friends are always welcome. Whether it’s sharing a cup of tea, joining a walk in the garden, or celebrating a special occasion, our flexible visiting approach helps loved ones stay connected. 

With strong links to local schools, volunteers, and community groups, there’s always something happening to keep life engaging and connected.

FAQs - care homes in Buckinghamshire

How much do care homes in Buckinghamshire cost?

Fees depend on the type of care and each person’s needs. Weekly fees usually include accommodation, personal care, meals, and activities. Some extras, such as hairdressing or specialist therapies, may carry an additional cost, and we’ll always explain these clearly.
