About OSJCT Longlands

Care plans reflect each resident’s routines, preferences and interests. Daily activities may include music, gardening and baking, alongside familiar occupations that help residents stay connected to what matters.

Questions families ask
What dementia training do their care staff receive?
All care employees complete a mandatory dementia training pathway covering risk reduction and prevention, communication, interaction, behaviour, living with dementia and promoting independence. Some training is endorsed by Dementia UK.
How do they create a personalised care plan?
They get to know each resident's life story, preferences, routines and interests, then use this information to shape a care plan that reflects the person's identity and what matters to them.
Are registered nurses on duty day and night?
Yes. Nursing care is supervised by Registered Nurses who are on duty all day and all night. They can recognise changes in a resident's condition and decide when to involve other health professionals.
How much does OSJCT Longlands cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask OSJCT Longlands for its weekly fee. As a guide, Oxfordshire council paid on average £1,013 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
