Everyday life, made meaningful in Oxa Care
Life here isn’t about rigid schedules, it’s about choice. Residents can join cooking sessions, enjoy live music, spend time gardening, or simply relax with friends. Some love a full calendar; others prefer quieter moments in the courtyard. Whatever brings joy, we support it.
Private suites that feel like home
Our 31 m² single suites give residents plenty of room to settle in comfortably. Each suite includes a private ensuite, climate control, modern fittings, and peaceful garden or courtyard views. Families often personalise the space with treasured items, making it warm and familiar from day one.
Services that come to you
Understanding that it can be difficult for our residents to get out, we've brought various services directly to them. Our aged care home offers on-site hairdressers and manicurists, music and art therapy, exercise classes, and more, ensuring there's always something engaging and entertaining to do.
Meeting your health needs
We coordinate a wide range of health services to keep residents well supported, including GP visits, physiotherapy, podiatry, dental, optometry, and allied health. Families are always kept in the loop, and with Northern Hospital close by, additional medical support is available if needed.
Step inside our community spaces
At Oxa Care, our communal areas are thoughtfully designed to encourage connection, comfort, and a sense of belonging. Take a closer look at the spaces where residents come together to relax, socialise, and enjoy everyday moments.
