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 Grantham 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 and welcoming environment
Our homes are designed to feel comfortable and easy to live in, with welcoming shared spaces, access to outdoor areas, and a relaxed pace of life.
This helps residents settle more naturally and supports a stronger sense of wellbeing and belonging.
Not-for-profit care you can rely on
As a charitable trust, OSJCT reinvests directly into our homes, colleagues, and residents.
That means care in Grantham that always puts people first, guided by values of integrity, transparency, and compassion.
I had been in hospital for 8 weeks. Apple Trees Care and Reablement Centre really helped me progress ready to go home. I felt safe and cared for. The staff were really kind and patient.

Life in our Grantham care homes
Life in our Grantham care homes is shaped around familiar routines, friendly support, and the everyday moments that help people feel comfortable and settled. We focus on creating environments where residents can continue enjoying daily life at a pace that feels right for them.
Residents can enjoy freshly prepared meals, comfortable lounges, quiet outdoor spaces, and activities designed to support both wellbeing and social connection. Some people enjoy group activities and shared experiences, while others prefer quieter routines and time to themselves, and both are supported with the same care and understanding.
Family and friends remain an important part of daily life. Visits are warmly welcomed, helping residents stay connected to the people and relationships that matter most. With a relaxed and supportive atmosphere, residents can feel part of a community while maintaining their own sense of independence and routine.
Choosing the right care home in Grantham
Finding the right care home can feel like a big responsibility, particularly when decisions need to be made quickly or during periods of uncertainty. Taking a step-by-step approach can help families feel more informed, prepared, and confident about the choices ahead.
A few things are often helpful to consider early on:
- The level of support needed: Consider whether residential, nursing, dementia, or respite care in Grantham would best support both current needs and future changes over time.
- The feel of the home itself: Spending time in a care home, meeting the team, and observing everyday life can often tell you more than brochures or listings alone.
- Connections to people and place: Staying close to family, familiar surroundings, and the wider Grantham community can help residents feel more comfortable and settled during the transition into care.
Many families also find it helpful to use a care home checklist when comparing options. Asking the right questions early on can make decisions feel clearer and less overwhelming.
