We believe in compassion, dignity and optimism
Oxa Care has been running for nearly four decades now, and we know without a doubt that those three qualities are the foundation of aged care. Some of our clients are of sound mind and body, while others live with various comorbidities — but all deserve to live with dignity. We have spent the decades developing our skills, therapies and facilities to care for our residents to the very best of our abilities. We’ll be honoured to care for you or your loved one, too.
Community is everything
Our warm staff and warmer residents will make sure you settle in just fine.
Resident-centred care
To give you the best life possible, we’ll gladly adapt our services to meet your unique needs.
Aged care payment made simple
To make paying for residential aged care as accessible as possible, you can access three types of payment plans. These are refundable accommodation deposits (RADs), daily accommodation payments (DAPs), or a combination payment. Feel free to get in touch for a consultation; we’ll talk you through our options in detail so you can make an informed and financially comfortable decision.

- Arthritic massages are extremely gently and help relieve pain in the hands, feet and small joints
- Chair massages are perfect for those with mobility issues that prevent them from lying face down on a massage table
