Care & Support
We offer several levels of care in all types of village accommodation.
- Household services including cleaning, laundry and meals
- Nursing services in your home
- Rest home & hospital care
- Daily checks from staff
- Health professionals’ visits upon request
- 24 hour emergency button in every home
Our service packages are tailor-made to suit your needs. We take the time to sit down and talk you through all the options available to work out what is right for you.
If you qualify for government assistance to pay for care, you can still apply for it while living at Metlifecare Oakwoods.
Taking time to understand your needs means we can deliver an independent retirement lifestyle that suits you now and into the future, and there is seldom any need to move.
Household services
If you no longer wish to do household chores, laundry or make your own meals, you can obtain these services no matter what accommodation you choose.
Nursing services
Should you require nursing services, we can provide them in your home. We have the experience to ensure that you maintain your independence for as long as possible in your own home.
Rest Home & Hospital
Our care facilities offer 24 hour nursing care in a safe and comfortable environment. They are close to our other accommodations, so partners can visit easily. A nurse manager and a team of trained staff care for you with dignity and respect. We are also mindful of the personal, spiritual, social and cultural needs of our residents.
Staff checks
If you are in need of some extra reassurance, our staff can arrange to visit you each day, or as agreed, to make sure your needs are met. We believe caring for you in this way brings peace of mind for you and your family. We also have our own security guards who patrol the village at night from 10.345pm to 6.45am.
Health professionals’ visits
We have a visiting GP, audiologist and physiotherapist, so there is no need to leave the premises for these services if you don’t wish to.
