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.
Connected to a diverse community
Slough is a town known for its diversity and strong community links.
Our homes reflect this, with activities, traditions, and community partnerships that celebrate different cultures and create a sense of belonging for everyone.
Our not-for-profit promise
As a charitable trust, OSJCT reinvests in our homes, teams, and residents.
Families in Slough can be reassured that every decision is guided by wellbeing and transparency, not shareholder profit.
On the husband’s request, myself and the husband visited his wife on a regular basis. The care home staff from the management team to the carers were always very welcoming and friendly. They always had a smile on their faces. Our lady was always well dressed and looking her best. She had gained weight so she was very well looked after very impressed with this care home.

How to choose the right care home in Slough
Choosing a care home is a big step, but taking it one stage at a time makes the process easier. For families in Slough, three considerations often help:
- Match care to need - whether you’re looking for residential, nursing, dementia, or respite care, think about the level of support that best fits your loved one.
- Visit the homes - meeting the team, seeing the spaces, and asking questions gives a clear picture of daily life.
- Think local - choosing a care home in Slough keeps loved ones close to family, friends, and the area’s strong community links, which can make the transition smoother.
For added reassurance, our Care Home Checklist covers the key questions to ask and highlights the details that can make a real difference to everyday life.
