How we support Greek residents
We know how important it is for elderly members of the Greek community to be surrounded by people who understand their culture. That’s why our aged care providers in Melbourne include bilingual staff, traditional Greek meals, and access to Orthodox Christian practices. According to the Aged Care Quality Standards, culturally inclusive care is not just best practice, it’s a requirement. At Oxa Care, we go beyond the basics to create a home that genuinely celebrate Greek heritage.
Comforts inspired by Greek culture
Speaking Greek every day
Our team includes Greek-speaking carers who make daily interactions comfortable and familiar. Greeting someone with “Kaliméra” or sharing stories in their own language helps residents feel respected and at ease.
Meals that connect to heritage
Food is at the heart of Greek culture. Residents enjoy menus inspired by Mediterranean traditions, from spanakopita and lentil soup to roast lamb, olives, and baklava. Mealtimes are a chance to socialise and enjoy flavours that bring back happy memories.
Spiritual care and Orthodox traditions
Orthodox Christianity is central to many Greek families. We provide prayer spaces, support connections with local churches, and observe feast days such as Easter and Christmas. The Federation of Ethnic Communities’ Councils of Australia (FECCA) highlights that spiritual care is key to well-being, and we ensure that residents can continue the practices that matter most.
Εορτασμοί που έχουν σημασία
Our residents enjoy celebrating Ohi Day, Orthodox Easter, and Name Days, with music, dancing, and special meals that reflect Greek traditions. These occasions create joy and bring people together.
Music, film, and storytelling
From bouzouki music to classic Greek films, we ensure entertainment is familiar and uplifting. Storytelling and reminiscence sessions also help residents share their life journeys and keep culture alive.
Celebrating diversity across our home
Oxa Care is home to residents from many backgrounds. We celebrate this diversity and provide ongoing cultural awareness training, ensuring respectful, inclusive, and compassionate care.
Respecting personal identity
We note the little things, from how you prefer to be addressed to the most meaningful traditions. Care plans carefully include these details so every staff member can engage with warmth and respect.
Keeping families in the loop
Strong family bonds are central to Greek culture. We provide regular updates in Greek or English, delivered in whatever way best suits your loved ones, from phone calls and in‑person chats to thoughtful written messages.
Daily life at Oxa Care
Life at our residential aged care facility in Melbourne is flexible, familiar, and guided by each resident’s needs. Every detail is shaped around personal preferences, cultural traditions, and the most natural rhythms of our community.

Dinner the Greek way
Evenings are about sharing a meal together. Residents gather around the table to enjoy Mediterranean dishes, good conversation, and the warmth of a family-style setting.
Supporting families every step of the way
Greek culture places great importance on family involvement in elder care. We partner with families so decisions are shared and traditions are respected. The Aged Care Diversity Framework reinforces that family connection is vital, and we make this a reality by offering flexible visiting hours, collaborative care planning, and inclusive celebrations.
Recognising Greek traditions
At Oxa Care, we recognise that traditions are woven into daily life; they shape memories, provide comfort, and strengthen identity. For our Greek residents, we mark the occasions with the deepest meaning.
Orthodox Easter and feast days
We honour Orthodox Easter with red-dyed eggs, church connections, and festive meals. Christmas and other feast days are observed with reverence and joy, keeping spiritual life central to care.
Staying connected to the community
We maintain links with local parishes, schools, and Greek community centres. These partnerships create opportunities for visits, music performances, and intergenerational programs that strengthen community ties. The Ethnic Communities Council of Victoria (ECCV) also provides resources we draw on to support CALD residents.
Music, food, and family moments
No celebration is complete without music and food. From souvlaki and dolmades to lively folk music and dancing, these moments create joy, belonging, and cherished memories.
Family involvement in Greek aged care
Oxa Care welcomes Greek families as partners in daily life and decision‑making. Guided by ELDAC’s advice, we know that open, ongoing conversations with the whole family lead to better care. Families are always invited into our Greek retirement villages in Melbourne, and we encourage loved ones to:
- Visit frequently - our flexible hours and welcoming spaces support regular gatherings.
- Join in planning - working with our team to create care routines that reflect family traditions.
- Celebrate together - from birthdays to cultural festivals, families are part of every special moment.
