Why families choose OSJCT care homes in Market Rasen

In our Market Rasen care homes, trust is built through relationships, consistency, and a shared commitment to putting residents at the heart of everything we do.
Care that feels personal, not processed
We take time to understand each resident as an individual, from personal routines and preferences to the things that help them feel comfortable and at ease.
This helps care feel more familiar, reassuring, and genuinely centred around the person.
Teams who build real relationships
Familiar faces and meaningful relationships can make a significant difference, particularly during times of change.
Our teams in Market Rasen focus on getting to know residents and families properly, creating trust through everyday interactions, open communication, and consistent support.
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 Market Rasen 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 Market Rasen that always puts people first, guided by values of integrity, transparency, and compassion.
My mother has been in The Poplars for about three years. She is now in the advanced stage of Alzheimer's. Her care has always been excellent. She has always been treated and respected as an individual and the staff have adapted to her needs as her illness has progressed. The staff clearly care very much about the residents. The standard of care is high and always with safety and quality at its core. I am so glad I chose this home for my mother.
