What our residents and their families are saying about us
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.
Life at home: community & visits
Life in an OSJCT care home is about more than care; it’s about living well every day. Residents can enjoy home-cooked meals, relax in shared lounges or gardens, and join in activities that bring joy and purpose, from music sessions and gentle exercise to seasonal celebrations.
Families and friends are always welcome. Our visiting approach is flexible and supportive, helping loved ones stay connected in person, by phone, or online. We know that regular contact matters, so we make it easy to keep those important relationships thriving.
Care beyond Oxfordshire
If you’re looking a little further afield, OSJCT also provides warm, welcoming care homes across neighbouring counties. Each one offers the same personal approach, expert care, and strong community spirit that families trust us for.
