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 Chipping Norton 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 strong sense of community
Chipping Norton has a close-knit feel, and our homes reflect that.
Residents enjoy visits and activities that help them stay connected to local life, as well as time spent with neighbours, volunteers, and familiar faces.
These connections help the home feel lively, welcoming, and rooted in the local community.
Comfortable, well-loved spaces
Our homes are designed to feel warm and welcoming rather than clinical.
From shared lounges to quieter corners for reading or conversation, residents are supported to relax, feel at home, and enjoy everyday comforts at their own pace.
Mum has been living at the care home for a few years following a fall that left her unable to walk and a diagnosis of dementia. Her care has been wonderful, even during more challenging times. She is happy and content, and I know she is very well looked after. The staff are brilliant with her and always do everything they can to keep her happy, with any concerns dealt with swiftly.
