Care tailored for German residents

We know that aged care means more than medical support; it’s about honouring culture and identity. That’s why our German residential aged care services offer bilingual staff, traditional meals, and links to German community groups. Guided by the Aged Care Quality Standards, we ensure that every resident receives safe, dignified, and culturally meaningful care.

Everyday life with a German touch

Speaking in your own language

Many of our staff speak German, helping residents communicate comfortably and share stories without barriers. Simple conversations in their first language make daily life more natural.

Meals that taste like home

Food connects people to their past, so our menus feature familiar dishes such as schnitzel, sauerkraut, potato dumplings, and apple strudel. These meals bring warmth and a sense of family tradition.

Besimi dhe reflektimi

For residents who wish, we support Christian traditions with prayer spaces, chaplain visits, and observance of significant holidays. Spiritual care is respected as part of wellbeing.

Celebrations throughout the year

Residents enjoy marking events such as Oktoberfest, Christmas markets, and German Unity Day with music, decorations, and traditional foods, which strengthen community bonds.

Music, film, and activities

From listening to German folk songs and classical composers to watching German films, residents can enjoy entertainment that sparks joy and memory. Traditional games and craft activities also help keep culture alive.

Embracing diversity at Oxa Care

While we celebrate German traditions, we also value our community's diversity. Our staff receive cultural awareness training, ensuring inclusive and compassionate care for all. This commitment helps every resident feel respected, no matter their cultural background.

Respecting preferences

We take time to learn how each resident prefers to be addressed, and those details are included in their care plan so every staff member interacts with respect and familiarity.
