Recently Oxley Home Care commenced providing home care personal services for my father. The Senior Care Coordinator was very prompt in coming to visit my father and in organising support within a week of my phone call enquiry. She has been very friendly and helpful, and keen to ensure that the Care Worker is a good match for my father. We appreciated her phone call following up after the Care Worker's first visit to check that Dad was happy and that his needs were being met. Dad is indeed very happy with the support of his Care Worker - "She is a delightful young lady with a personality that brightens up my day. She comes for one hour five mornings a week, and is meticulous in carrying out the allocated tasks. She is efficient and uses her initiative." Many thanks Oxley Home Care! Margaret Grainger

Oxley Home Care are real professionals, and I was lucky to find them. They followed up promptly on my initial call, and always stayed in contact. They went out of their way to help me get started with a care worker, who was always prompt and supportive. I can highly recommend them !

I do not know what I would do without Oxley Home Care. From Management/Office staff to Carer's, the service is exceptional. The level of service and the interaction of Carer's with my parents is just amazing. Absolutely exceptional. At times I have needed adhoc services urgently and Oxley Office staff has organised this with ease for me. I cannot praise Oxley Home Care enough. I know they have my parents needs and wellbeing a priority. I do not hesitate in recommending Oxley Home Care .

I have been very fortunate to find a provider like the Oxley Home Care team. From senior management to Regional care Manager, to all the lovely ladies in the office and all the care workers that have assisted in helping me take care of my mother at home, I have found them to be very professional in all aspects of there work. They have been very understanding and caring and very compassionate , always willing to do above and beyond in assisting me to take care of my mother and giving me and my family the moral support to continue to do so. I highly recommend Oxley Home Care to anyone who is in need of any type of care for themselves or for there loved ones or even for a friend. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Oxley Home care Team. You are amazing. Please continue the terrific work of always helping others. Thank you again. Sr. Sofia.

Cost Benefits of Home Care versus Residential Care

  • By Gilian Douglass

  • Aged Care

Just as Dorothy uttered those famous words in The Wizard of Oz: “There’s no place like home,” and had she been talking about aged care, she could have added: “It could also be much cheaper.”

While the Australian Government subsidises a range of aged care services in Australia, if personal circumstances allow, it is expected you’ll contribute towards the cost of your residential aged care if you can afford to do so. For people on an Aged Pension, a percentage is paid to the residential home for care.

As such, residential care fees are dependent upon an individual’s financial position, including ownership of the family home. However, Home Care Packages are not subject to full means testing, but contributions are related to your annual income and assets (part-pension or self-funded retirees can be asked to contribute between $5,000 to $10,000 per annum).

To ascertain your likely home care fees, please click here to read another informative blog article from Oxley Home Care.

Depending on an individual’s needs, a Home Care Package provides a co-ordinated package of services tailored to meet specific care needs to help the person stay in their own home and also provide choice in the way care and services are provided in the home.

Services that may be provided  in a Home Care Package include:

  • support services – such as help with washing and ironing, house cleaning, gardening, basic home maintenance, home modifications related to your care needs, and transport to help you with shopping, visiting your doctor or attending social activities
  • personal care – such as help with showering or bathing, dressing and mobility
  • nursing, allied health and other clinical services – hearing services, vision services, podiatry
  • care coordination and case management.

Since July 1, 2015 all Home Care Packages are provided on a Consumer Directed Care (CDC) basis, which according to www.myagedcare.gov.au means:

  • Consumers get more say in the care and services accessed, how it is delivered and who delivers it
  • Consumers will have conversations about their needs and goals
  • Consumers will work in partnership with the service provider to develop the care plan
  • Consumers agree to the level of involvement in managing the care package
  • Consumers will have a greater understanding about how the package is funded and how those funds are spent through an individualised budget and monthly income and expense statement
  • The service provider will monitor and provide the consumer with ongoing formal reviews to ensure the package still meets all needs.

CDC allows the consumer and the carer more power to influence the design and delivery of the services which are received. It also allows a greater degree of choice in what services are delivered, as well as where and when they are delivered.

Home Care Packages are essentially subsidised funding provided by the Government, so it is worthwhile to use this calculator to estimate your fee.

Testimonials from our valued clients.

My Care Worker, Karin, is so efficient, capable and caring. She has proved to be intelligent, reliable, conscientious and her integrity is undoubted. She has been a huge factor in my living in my own home with all my health problems.
Her assistance in so many ways has contributed greatly to me achieving this and hopefully will continue for some time to come. I am very lucky to have the assistance of such a capable and understanding Care Worker from Oxley Home Care.

Brian, Wahroonga

Testimonials from our valued clients.

Our experience with Oxley is seamless, friendly, pro-active and extremely supportive. We would like to make special mention of their speedy response times when adhoc requests for care services are made. As shift workers this service is invaluable and Ashley goes above and beyond in these communications and interactions with us.
Anna has been amazing offering advice and is open minded to trialling and sourcing new devices to assist us.
Maria is an exceptional carer who does more than required and was able to make a quick connection and friendship with our mother.
Thank you team!
