Live in care you can trust in the home that you love

We have been providing care services throughout Bicester for over 50 years. Our reputation is built on high standards of live in care in Asthall, local expertise and an approach to care delivery that is trusted by families throughout our community and beyond. All our carers are experienced and most have worked for us for many years. They will live with you for a longer period than might be offered by other live in care providers, which allows for a deeper understanding of our clients’ needs and ensures continuity of care. We are experts in providing specialist care of complex conditions, like dementia, Parkinson’s or Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or for those recovering from a stroke or for those who need cancer care or palliative care.

The home you love is best for personalised one-to-one care

There are countless life-enriching benefits to staying at home with a highly trained and experienced carer who is dedicated to you, instead of facing the upset and worry of moving into a care or nursing home. With an Oxford Aunts carer you will be able to live life your way with as much independence as possible, with a tailored plan of care delivered by a compassionate carer on a one-to-one basis – this just simply cannot be offered in a care home.

WHEN CAN LIVE IN CARE BE USED?

  • When 24-hour live in care is needed to live safely at home with an improved quality of life
  • As a respite service following hospital discharge to convalesce or for those needing positive rehabilitation or to recover from illness. Respite care can also be used to give a family carer a break.
  • For specialist care of complex conditions like dementia, Parkinson’s or cancer
  • If you need palliative/end-of-life care negating the need to move into a residential setting or a hospice.
  • Care for couples, so they can stay together as a loving couple with the personalised support they need.

CARE MANAGEMENT IN Bicester

A fully managed and regulated live in care service

We offer fully managed live in care services in Bicester, which means that we employ our carers while caring for you. This is different to introductory agencies, who simply introduce you to a suitable live in carer and then leave the management of them to you or your loved one. One of the advantages of our fully managed live in care services is that we provide you with a local management team of care experts who can provide additional support and reassurance to you and your assigned carer. Plus, we are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and have been rated ‘Good’ by CQC in all five measures – safe, caring, effective, responsive and well-led.

Expertly trained carers in Bicester

We are committed to ensuring that all our carers in Bicester receive market-leading training from care experts. This starts when carers first join us through a comprehensive induction training programme and continues through their caring careers with personal development strongly supported. This ensures we can be confident our carers have the latest skills and knowledge to deliver high-quality care in Bicester and the surrounding areas. Our carers also receive specialist training in certain medical conditions and interventions to ensure that they can provide support to those living with complex conditions in Bicester, such as dementia live in care.

Local, dedicated care management near you

We provide highly personalised and quality live in care services in Bicester and the surrounding area. By keeping our services local, we ensure our clients in Bicester receive consistent monitoring and day-to-day support.

A multidisciplinary approach

To ensure we can deliver unrivalled live in care services in Bicester, we have built strong connections with healthcare professionals within the local community, including GPs, district nurses, local Integrated Care Boards, charitable organisations and community healthcare services. This enables us to provide a multidisciplinary approach to care that focuses on enhancing our client’s health and wellbeing, reduces unnecessary hospital admission and ensures swifter, less stressful discharges from hospitals.
