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 Oxfordshire 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 Marlow’s community

Our homes are woven into the life of Marlow, with strong links to local schools, groups, and volunteers. 

These connections bring fresh energy, familiar faces, and a sense of belonging that makes daily life richer and more rewarding.

Not-for-profit transparency

As a charitable trust, OSJCT reinvests into our homes, residents, and colleagues. 

For families, that means care in Marlow that’s focused on people, always delivered with openness, integrity, and sustainability in mind.

We have been so impressed with the staff and how welcoming they are and make a lovely, lively environment for the residents. Lots of entertainment and activities are available if my mother wants to join in. The care is lovely, and Mum feels well cared for and comfortable with the staff.

Choosing the right care home is an important decision for every family. In Marlow, many families start by considering thinking about three simple steps:

  • Visit the homes - seeing the atmosphere first-hand, meeting the team, and asking questions makes a real difference.
  • Think about location and lifestyle - being close to family, friends, and familiar places in Marlow can make the transition feel easier.
