Questions families ask
What dementia training do the care staff receive?
All care employees complete mandatory dementia training covering risk reduction, communication, behaviour, living with dementia and promoting independence. Some training is endorsed by Dementia UK.
How are dementia care plans personalised?
Teams learn about each resident's life story, preferences, routines and interests, then use that information to shape care plans, daily activities and familiar routines.
Can the home support dietary needs and swallowing difficulties?
Yes. Residents receive support based on health conditions, faith and preferences, including help with dysphagia, which can make swallowing difficult.
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.
How much does OSJCT Stirlings cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask OSJCT Stirlings 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.
