Why families choose OSJCT in Westbury
Choosing a care home is about more than services or facilities. Families in Westbury are often looking for reassurance, continuity, and people they can trust to care for someone they love. Our Westbury homes are chosen for their calm atmosphere, experienced teams, and the sense that care is shaped around individuals, not processes.
Care that feels personal, not prescriptive
In our Westbury homes, care starts with listening. Teams take time to understand personal routines, life histories, and preferences, so support feels familiar and respectful from the outset.
This individual approach helps residents settle more comfortably and gives families confidence that care will adapt as needs change, without losing what makes someone feel like themselves.
Experienced teams, consistent faces
Families often tell us how much reassurance comes from seeing familiar faces each day. Our Westbury care teams work closely together to provide consistent, attentive support, creating a sense of stability that residents value.
Ongoing training and strong teamwork ensure care remains safe, responsive, and compassionate, even as health or mobility needs evolve over time.
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 Westbury 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 calm setting with local connections
Westbury’s quieter pace and close-knit community are reflected in the atmosphere of our homes. Residents can enjoy peaceful shared spaces, time outdoors, and activities that suit different interests and energy levels.
Staying connected to the local area, whether through visits, familiar surroundings, or community links, helps residents feel grounded and supported as part of everyday life in Westbury.
Not-for-profit values, transparent care
As a charitable trust, OSJCT reinvests every penny back into our residents, homes, and colleagues.
That means families in Westbury can expect transparent communication, consistent standards, and care that always puts people first.
The staff at Watersmead are a great bunch of people, they do have a laugh and joke with the residents, and my aunt enjoys this. The Christmas Party was fun, there is always something going on for them to take part in, I am very pleased we were able to find such a good, friendly place where she feels at home in.

Choosing the right care home in Westbury
Choosing a care home is an important decision, and it’s natural to want reassurance that you’re making the right choice for your loved one. Many families in Westbury find it helpful to focus on a few clear considerations when comparing options.
- Start with care needs: Think about the level of support required now, and whether care may need to adapt in the future. This might include residential care, dementia support, nursing care, or short-term respite following illness or a hospital stay.
- Visit and trust your instincts: Seeing a care home in person can make all the difference. Meeting the team, observing daily life, and getting a feel for the atmosphere often helps families understand whether a place feels comfortable, calm, and welcoming.
- Consider location and familiarity: Being close to home, family, and familiar surroundings in and around Westbury can help residents settle more easily and stay connected to the people and places that matter most.
Many families find our Care Home Checklist helpful when weighing up their options. It highlights the key questions to ask and the small details that can have a big impact on everyday wellbeing.
