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.

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.

Dementia Awareness Month

  • By Gilian Douglass

Did you know that September is Dementia Awareness Month?

Dementia Awareness Month is a campaign conducted by Dementia Australia National that’s all about encouraging Australians to become aware of dementia and to have a greater understanding of what it’s like for a person to live with dementia.

The theme for this year’s campaign is ‘Small actions, big difference’. There are many small actions people can take to create a big difference for people impacted by dementia, their families and carers.

So, what exactly is dementia?

Dementia describes a collection of symptoms that are caused by disorders affecting the brain. It isn’t one specific disease, according to Dementia Australia National. Dementia affects thinking, behaviour and the ability of a person to perform everyday tasks and can interfere with a person’s ability to work and function in society.

Most people who have dementia are older, but not all older people have dementia. According to Dementia Australia National, it is not a normal part of ageing. Dementia can happen to anyone, but it is more common to occur after the age of 65. However, people in their 40’s and 50’s can also have dementia. Dementia is the greatest cause of disability in people aged over 65.

The most common forms of dementia are Alzheimer’s Disease, Vascular dementia, Parkinson’s Disease, Dementia with Lewy Bodies, Fronto Temporal Lobar Degeneration, Huntington’s Disease, Alcohol related Dementia (Korsakoff’s syndrome) and Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease, according to Alzheimer’s Australia.

It’s essential that a medical diagnosis is received when symptoms of dementia first appear, to ensure that the correct medical treatment is given and that appropriate support and information are provided.

What are the early signs of dementia?

They can be subtle and vague and may not be obvious to you, but can include:

  • Progressive and frequent memory loss
  • Confusion
  • Personality change
  • Apathy and withdrawal
  • Loss of ability to perform everyday tasks

What can you do if you discover you or a family member has dementia?

If you are living with early stage dementia or are a carer for someone with dementia, you can join Dementia Australia’s early intervention program, where you will receive information and support with a small group of other people in a similar situation. Such a program can reduce the sense of isolation, distress and depression resulting from diagnosis and increase the self-esteem of people with or caring for someone with dementia.  More information can be found at: https://www.fightdementia.org.au/

Understanding dementia symptoms and working with them can mean better quality of life at home.

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

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!
