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 Stamford 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.

The care given to my dad is fabulous, he's very happy and feels cared and listened to. He had an unpleasant experience in a previous care home but loves being in Whitefriars, Stamford. The staff went above and beyond in catering for his 82nd birthday party with family. The food and cake was so lovely and family very much appreciated it!

Life in our Stamford care homes
Life in our Stamford care homes is centred around comfort, familiarity, and helping residents continue enjoying the routines and relationships that matter most to them. We focus on creating welcoming environments where people can feel relaxed, supported, and part of a wider community.
Residents can enjoy freshly prepared meals, comfortable shared lounges, outdoor spaces, and activities designed to support wellbeing, confidence, and social connection. Some residents enjoy group activities and spending time with others, while some 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 welcomed, helping residents stay connected to familiar relationships and maintain a sense of continuity and belonging. With a calm and supportive atmosphere, residents can feel settled, comfortable, and reassured in their surroundings.
Choosing the right care home in Stamford
Choosing a care home can feel like a major responsibility, particularly when families are balancing emotional concerns with practical decisions about future care and wellbeing. Taking a clear, step-by-step approach can help make the process feel calmer, more informed, and easier to navigate.
Start with three simple considerations:
- Think about the level of care required: Consider whether residential, nursing, dementia, or respite care in Stamford would best support both current needs and future wellbeing.
- Take time to visit the home: Meeting the team, seeing daily life in person, and experiencing the atmosphere first-hand can help families feel more confident about whether the home feels right.
- Consider familiarity and local connections: Remaining close to family, familiar places, and the wider Stamford community can help residents feel more comfortable and settled during the transition into care.
Many families also find our Care Home Checklist useful when comparing different options. Asking the right questions early on can make decisions feel clearer and less overwhelming.
