Oxford Aunts Care

When we decided that our Mum needed 24 hour care and that live in care was the best option for her, Oxford Aunts was recommended to me. I was very impressed from the outset with their very professional and caring approach. Following an initial assessment, Oxford Aunts in connection with ourselves selected a suitable carer for Mum. She has been absolutely excellent. She is a delightful person, incredibly caring and also highly trained and very professional. Katy ( sometimes known as Kathy) goes above and beyond in her care for Mum, always looking for ways to improve Mums care and quality of life.Katy has built a very positive relationship with Mum as well as with my sister and me, keeping us in the picture on important matters. We have total trust in her which is is really important and know that she has strong back up from Oxford Aunts, from a Care Manager and in terms of very clear ways of operating and well established procedures. We were very keen that a carer could remain with Mum for a significant period rather than frequent changes in carer. This has indeed been our experience with Oxford Aunts. It is a difficult and emotional decision deciding on the best care for a parent and our experience with Oxford Aunts has made that so much easier and the most important thing is Mum is being incredibly well cared for.

We engaged Oxford Aunts to provide live in care for my 95yr old mother who has Dementia after she was discharged from hospital in January 2021 after admission with Covid and a Stroke. Oxford Aunts were incredibly active making an in depth assessment of my mother's needs and going the extra mile to find the right carer for her. The carer has been incredibly helpful, friendly, and adaptable to my mother's needs. She helped her with dressing, bathing and toileting as well as providing her with food that she liked and engaging her in activities such as watching birds in the garden and looking at photo albums. She also was able to ensure that my mother did not do things which might have put her in danger - such as walking outside without her frame. The carer was there to oversee visiting workmen if repairs were needed and she also kept the house and laundry all clean and tidy. Having an Oxford Aunts Carer in my mothers home relieved me of a great deal of daily worry and ensured that my mother was safe and well looked after during the night as well as the day. I would, without hesitation, recommend them to others who have relatives needing live in care.

Our 97-year old mother was initially very resistant to having live-in care. Oxford Aunts did a fabulous job in identifying a truly wonderful, patient and sensitive caregiver who rapidly gained our mother's trust and takes makes sure she is well looked after while maintaining a sense of independence. This has dramatically improved our mother's happiness, wellbeing and quality of life. Instead of sitting at home alone, she is now going out regularly with her caregiver for walks, tea, and family visits. Among other things, our mother's caregiver cooks delicious, nutritious meals, accompanies her to doctor's appointments, oversees repairs to the house, and helps her with family Zoom meetings and email. We couldn't be happier with the care our mother is receiving and are extremely grateful both to her wonderful caregiver and to Oxford Aunts for finding such an exceptional person.
