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 Spalding 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 warm and welcoming environment
Our homes are designed to feel comfortable and easy to live in, with welcoming shared spaces, quiet outdoor areas, and a calm atmosphere that helps residents feel at ease and connected to daily life around them.
A not-for-profit approach focused on residents
As a charitable trust, our focus is on providing high-quality care and supportive environments for residents and families.
Any surplus is reinvested into our homes, services, and teams, helping us continue improving the care and support we provide.
Visiting Southfield House, I always feel welcomed by the staff, who are devoted to their work, and caring to all the residents. I also notice the happiness in my friend, who has settled in his room, enjoying the food, which is so rewarding and appreciated. The weekly activities are a credit to the organisers and would recommend Southfield House to everyone.

Life in our Spalding care homes
Life in our Spalding care homes is shaped around comfort, familiarity, and the everyday moments that help residents feel relaxed and supported. We focus on creating environments where people can continue enjoying daily life at a pace that feels natural to them, while remaining connected to the people and routines that matter most.
Residents can enjoy freshly prepared meals, welcoming lounges, outdoor spaces, and activities designed to support wellbeing, confidence, and social connection. Some people enjoy group activities and shared experiences, while others prefer quieter routines and more independent time, and both are supported with the same understanding and care.
Family and friends remain an important part of everyday life. Visits are warmly encouraged, helping residents stay connected to familiar relationships and feel part of a wider community. With a calm and supportive atmosphere, residents can feel settled, reassured, and comfortable in their surroundings.
Choosing the right care home in Spalding
Choosing a care home can feel like a big decision, especially when families are balancing emotional concerns with practical considerations. Taking a step-by-step approach can help make the process feel clearer, calmer, and easier to manage.
Start with three simple considerations:
- Consider the level of support needed: Think about whether residential, nursing, dementia, or respite care in Spalding would best support both current needs and future wellbeing.
- Spend time in the home: Visiting in person, meeting the team, and observing daily life can often provide reassurance that’s difficult to gain from listings or brochures alone.
- Think about familiarity and connection: Being close to family, familiar surroundings, and the wider Spalding community can help residents settle more comfortably into daily life.
Many families find our Care Home Checklist helpful when comparing different options. Asking the right questions early on can make decisions feel more informed and less overwhelming.
