With continuous training, strong CQC ratings, and the support of OSJCT’s not-for-profit ethos, you can be confident that your loved one is always in safe, capable hands.

Support with fees & funding

Understanding how care home fees work can feel daunting, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. In Witney, the cost of care will vary depending on the type of support needed (whether that’s residential, nursing, dementia, or respite care), as well as each individual’s circumstances.

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.

Strong local connections

Being part of the Witney community matters. 

Our homes regularly welcome local schools, volunteers, and community groups, creating opportunities for friendship, shared experiences, and a sense of belonging that goes beyond the walls of the home.

Not-for-Profit Transparency

As a charitable trust, OSJCT reinvests every penny back into our homes, residents, and colleagues. 

That means the focus is always on people, not shareholders, ensuring care in Witney remains personal, transparent, and sustainable for the long term.

I found the home to be a delight to visit, very friendly staff and happy residents. Lots of activities for Christmas going on. I was made to feel very welcome and offered a cup of tea or coffee. The decorations in the home were lovely and everyone, residents and staff, were in the Christmas spirit, making for a lovely atmosphere.
