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 Didcot 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.

Part of the Didcot community

Our homes have close links with the local Didcot community, from local volunteers and schools to nearby churches and support groups.

These relationships bring connection, friendship, and familiarity to daily life.

A not-for-profit approach

As a charitable trust, OSJCT reinvests every penny into our homes and teams, ensuring care remains focused on people.

Mum moved to The Meadows in February 2024. She is so happy and settled. The care she receives is great. It has given the family peace of mind that she is now safe and well cared for! The staff are fantastic and very patient with the family and our questions. The staff activity team are excellent. There is so much going on. I attended my first residents meeting recently, senior staff were very informative and noted any concerns which was reassuring.
