Language builds connection and trust. Many of our staff speak Russian, allowing residents to share stories, ask questions, and feel understood without hesitation. These daily conversations help create a sense of belonging and ease, whether it’s a casual chat over tea or a deeper discussion about personal care needs. 

Food is central to Russian culture, carrying memories of family tables and seasonal traditions. Our menus feature beloved dishes like borscht, pelmeni, blini, and honey cakes, carefully prepared to bring warmth and familiarity. 

For many residents, faith remains a guiding light throughout life. We support Orthodox Christian practices with access to chaplains, spaces for prayer, and the celebration of major feast days such as Orthodox Christmas and Easter. Icons, candles, and spiritual rituals are incorporated respectfully into care, ensuring residents feel spiritually supported.

At Oxa Care, traditions are embraced as part of daily living. Residents celebrate events such as Maslenitsa, Orthodox Christmas, Easter, and Victory Day with music, dancing, decorations, and traditional meals. These celebrations are more than calendar events; they are opportunities to strengthen community bonds, share joy with families, and keep cultural identity alive.

Culture thrives when stories are shared. Residents enjoy Russian folk songs, classical music by composers like Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff, and poetry readings from authors such as Pushkin or Akhmatova. Film screenings and traditional games like chess or dominoes create meaningful opportunities for laughter and memory.
