Skilled, dedicated teams

Our care teams across Wiltshire bring together experience, empathy, and commitment. 

From personal carers to nurses and activity coordinators, every colleague receives ongoing training to ensure residents are safe, supported, and truly cared for.

My mother has settled very well at Goodson Lodge. The carers are always friendly and cheerful and treat residents with dignity. There are plenty of activities for residents covering a wide range of interests. The rooms are clean and welcoming and there is always plenty of food. Care is tailored to the needs of individual residents. I would highly recommend.

These connections help residents stay active and involved in the communities they love.

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 Buckinghamshire 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 in Wiltshire care homes

Life in our Wiltshire care homes is about more than care; it’s about comfort, community, and living each day with meaning.

Residents can enjoy home-cooked meals made from local ingredients, spend time in bright lounges or peaceful gardens, and take part in activities that bring laughter and connection, from gentle exercise and crafts to local visits and seasonal events.

Families and friends are always welcome to visit for a cup of tea, share a meal, or join in a celebration.

Many of our homes also have close links with Wiltshire schools, churches, and volunteer groups, so residents can stay connected to familiar faces and the communities they’ve always known.

Every detail, from our menus to our music sessions, is designed to make life in our Wiltshire homes warm, active, and full of heart.
