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.

Changes benefit people in need of care at home

Home Care Packages

Oxley Home Care was featured in the Canterbury Bankstown Express on Tuesday April 25, 2017 highlighting the recent changes to Home Care Packages made by the Federal Government’s Department of Health, with a case study on Fran Jobberns, a 78-year-old client of Oxley Home Care.

Fran Jobberns believes that the changes to the Australian aged care sector mean “peace of mind” for herself and other Home Care Package recipients.

Fran has been using the services of Oxley Home Care since May 2015 and is happy with the services Oxley Home Care has been providing, but had been through a number of home care providers in the past.

"For me, the changes have been largely non-existent, but I think they (the changes to the aged care sector) will help others who need to move or change providers for whatever reason," Fran Jobberns said to the 'Canterbury Bankstown Express'.

The recent changes to the Australian aged care sector will mean that elderly Australians, like Fran Jobberns, will benefit from being able to compare and choose their in-home care provider and change their provider at any time. Their Home Care Package funding will be allocated directly to them and their chosen aged care provider. Consumers can relocate and have their Home Care Package move with them, a big improvement on the previous situation.

The Australian Government Productivity Commission’s ‘Caring for Older Australians’ Inquiry Report (released in 2011) revealed that over 3.5 million Australians are expected to use aged care services each year by 2050. And, these older Australians do not want to be passive recipients of aged care.

"Older Australians want to be independent and be able to choose: where they live, which aged care provider they use and the way in which services are delivered," reported the Australian Government Productivity Commission's 'Caring for Older Australians' Inquiry Report.

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!

To all the team at Oxley, I cannot thank you enough for all the help, kindness, patience, and support you have given my Mother over the past year. Mum speaks so highly of you all and my life has been made so much easier because of you. Keep up the good work.
