Why families choose OSJCT in Woodstock
Choosing a care home is about trust. Families want to know their loved one will be cared for with kindness, understanding, and respect, not just today, but as needs change over time. That’s what guides our approach in Woodstock.
Personal care that starts with listening
We take time to get to know each resident as an individual, their routines, preferences, and life experiences.
Care feels more personal when it’s shaped around what matters to someone, helping residents feel comfortable, recognised, and at ease in their new surroundings.
Experienced teams you can rely on
Our Woodstock care teams are skilled, compassionate, and supported with ongoing training.
From personal carers to nursing staff, everyone works together to provide consistent, thoughtful care, giving families confidence that their loved one is in safe hands.
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 Woodstock 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 strong connection to the local community
Our care homes in Woodstock are closely linked to the local community.
Residents enjoy visits, activities, and connections that reflect the town’s character, helping life in the home feel familiar and connected rather than isolated.
Reassurance through clear standards and guidance
Families often have questions about safety, quality, and what good care really looks like.
We’re open about how care is delivered, how decisions are made, and how families stay informed, offering reassurance through clarity, not complexity.
Mum has been at Spencer Court for a year now and the amount of time, effort and care the staff have put in to making sure she is settled and happy is amazing. I have never been met by anything other than a smile by all the staff. Mum is happy, very well cared for and enjoys the outings that are arranged.

Daily life includes home-cooked food, welcoming shared spaces, and access to gardens or outdoor areas where residents can relax and enjoy fresh air. Activities are designed to be inclusive and meaningful, offering gentle stimulation, creativity, and connection rather than a busy schedule.
Family and friends play an important role in life at our Woodstock homes. Visits are welcomed and encouraged, helping residents stay connected to the people and relationships that matter most.

How to choose the right care home in Woodstock
Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make. Whether you’re planning ahead or responding to a change in health, taking a clear, step-by-step approach can help make the decision feel more manageable.
Start with three simple considerations:
- Match care to need: Think about whether residential, nursing, dementia, or respite care in Woodstock best suits your loved one’s current and future needs.
- Visit the home: Spending time in the home, meeting the team, and seeing daily life first-hand can give you confidence that it feels right.
