Why families choose OSJCT in Devizes

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 Devizes 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 home connected to its community
Our care homes in Devizes are closely linked to the local area.
Residents benefit from connections with the wider community, helping everyday life feel familiar and rooted, rather than separate from the world outside.
Clear communication and trust
Families value openness and clarity when it comes to care.
We prioritise regular communication, shared decision-making, and clear guidance, so families feel informed, involved, and confident in the care their loved one receives.
From the moment my mum arrived at Hayward, the staff did everything to make her feel welcome, and this continued throughout her stay. The home is always clean and well-staffed, and what was initially a difficult decision became much easier thanks to the team’s care. I would highly recommend Hayward Care Centre to anyone.
