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 Yarnton 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.

Connected to the local community

Life in Yarnton has a wonderful village feel, and our homes reflect that.

We maintain close ties with local groups, volunteers, and nearby Oxfordshire communities, bringing familiarity and friendship into daily life.

A not-for-profit promise

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

That means our focus is always on providing outstanding care.

Staff at the day care are kind, friendly, and caring, which helped my husband to settle in without a problem. Also it is good to know that there are enough people to look after the residents to meet individual needs. In addition, as my husband likes to wander about most of the time, there are enough rooms inside and a big garden outside, which I think is a massive bonus.
