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.

$100 million to help senior Australians live at home for longer

Home Care Packages

The Federal Government this week committed to investing an additional $100 million over two years to support senior Australians to remain living independently in their own homes.

The funding injection will help to expand five vital home services that are relied upon by hundreds of thousands of people, including:

Domestic assistance
Meals
Transport
Home maintenance
Home modifications

“This is about giving senior Australians more certainty, more options and more independence”, Ken Wyatt, Minister for Senior Australians and Aged Care said this week.

Additional funding of $50 million per year will be offered to a targeted group of existing service providers to meet the immediate needs of aged Australians over two years from 2018-19, with the first payments to providers taking place in January 2019.

The state of Home Care Packages

The federal Department of Health released its quarterly report into the Home Care Packages Program this week. It revealed that as of June 30, 2018, there were 64,668 people in the National Prioritisation Queue, who were either in, or assigned, a Home Care Package. And, it’s estimated that around 75 per cent of these people were receiving some form of Commonwealth subsidised home care support; either through a lower level Home Care Package or Commonwealth Home Support Program services.

At March 31, 2018, there were 84,971 people in a Home Care Package, an increase of 9.1 per cent since December 31, 2017 and an annual increase of 20.4 per cent accessing a Home Care Package since March 31, 2017.

Each state and territory had experienced a net increase in the number of people in care between December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018.

According to Ken Wyatt, Minister for Senior Australians and Aged Care, Australia’s ageing population and their evolving needs and wishes are driving an increased demand for home-based aged care services.

Exit fees – are they charged?

An ‘exit fee’ is an an amount that can be deducted by a home care provider from a person’s unspent Home Care Package amount, if the person leaves their care. This may happen if the person decides to change their home care provider or when they leave home care altogether,” states the Home Care Packages Data Report, April 1 – June 30, 2018.

Oxley Home Care DOES NOT charge exit fees, start-up or re-assessment fees.

In fact, Oxley Home Care offers value for money, low fees and Home Care Packages tailored to meet your needs.

With friendly customer service, each client receives their own dedicated Care Manager and high quality care.

We directly employ and supervise all our fully experienced Care Workers and Nurses, not contractors, so you can be confident in the care you will receive. Clients regularly see the same carers, with the consistent values of dedication, understanding, and compassion.

Our diverse team of experienced and dedicated Care Workers include Nurses, Physiotherapist Aides, Dementia Specialists and other Allied Health Specialists.

We offer lower administration fees, which means more care hours for you.

Please feel free to call us to discuss your home care options on 1300 993 591.

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.

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!
