Oxa Care does not operate an aged care home directly in Viewbank. Instead, we support Viewbank residents from our residential aged care home in Epping, allowing families to access high-quality aged care without moving far from their local area. This approach means residents nearby can still maintain strong connections to their suburb, community and family, while receiving professional nursing care, personal care and access to a full range of aged care services in a purpose-built environment.

Availability can change, but Oxa Care regularly welcomes residents from Viewbank into our aged care home. We understand that many families begin their search after a sudden change in health or hospital admission, which is why we aim to respond quickly and clearly. Our team can talk you through current availability, respite care options, and permanent care pathways, helping you understand what support is available now and what may open up shortly.

Viewbank residents access Oxa Care’s services by transitioning into our residential aged care home once care needs can no longer be safely met at home. Families usually begin by contacting our team to discuss care options, followed by a tour and assessment. From there, we develop personalised care plans covering daily support, nursing care, physiotherapy, podiatry and other onsite services designed and tailored to suit each resident’s needs.

Aged care costs are the same regardless of whether residents come from Viewbank or nearby suburbs. Fees typically include accommodation costs and care fees, which can be structured flexibly. Families can choose an upfront refundable accommodation deposit, a daily payment, or a combination of both. Our team explains aged care fees in plain English and helps families understand how costs apply to residential aged care, respite care or permanent aged care services.

Yes. Many residents continue to stay connected to Viewbank through regular family visits, outings and familiar routines. Being close to surrounding suburbs such as Rosanna, Heidelberg and Ivanhoe makes visiting simple for loved ones.

Visiting from Viewbank is straightforward. The journey is typically around 25 minutes by car, and public transport options are available via nearby train lines and bus routes.

Oxa Care works closely with nearby medical services and hospitals, including facilities in Heidelberg. Residents also have access to onsite and visiting allied health professionals such as physiotherapists and podiatrists. This ensures continuity of care and timely medical support, which is especially reassuring for families managing complex or changing health needs.

Viewbank is a multicultural suburb, and Oxa Care recognises the importance of cultural preferences, language, food and daily routines. Care plans are developed with input from families to reflect individual backgrounds and values. Our team takes time to understand personal history, preferences and traditions, ensuring residents feel respected, understood and comfortable in their new environment.

Yes. Short-term respite care is available for Viewbank residents who need temporary support following illness, hospital stays or when family carers need a break. Respite care provides the same level of personal care, nursing support and access to onsite services as permanent residents, while offering families peace of mind during transitional periods.

Care needs often change with age, and Oxa Care is designed to support residents through those changes. Whether someone requires increased nursing care, additional personal care or transitional care following a health event, our team reviews and updates care plans regularly. This continuity allows residents to remain in one familiar place while receiving the level of care they need as circumstances evolve.
