How we provide the best care for residents with Huntington’s
Huntington’s disease (HD) can progress rapidly, affecting each individual in a unique way. That’s why specificity and adaptability are the core qualities of our approach to palliative care.
Every Huntington’s disease palliative resident receives a personalised care plan that offers general holistic therapies as well as unique accommodations to suit their needs. As their Huntington’s progresses and their end-of-life needs evolve, our care will evolve with them.
- 24/7 care with immediate response times for palliative residents
- Pain management via medication and physical therapy
- Emotional, psychological and spiritual support services

Why choose Oxa Care
The stronger the community around an individual living with Huntington’s disease, the better their palliative care. To do what we do to the best of our ability, we work closely with our palliative residents and their families to build a life that suits them. Communication and compassion are the keys to our holistic approach. We’re glad to say that our residents have rewarded our efforts by voting us into the top 1% of residential care providers in Melbourne.
Community is everything
From compassionate and experienced staff to welcoming residents, new residents will feel at home immediately.
Tailored treatment
Our one-on-one counselling and group therapies foster creativity, joy and community, as well as physical health.
The cost of Huntington’s disease palliative care
At Oxa Care, we do not offer or believe in tiered treatment. Every one of our residents receives our full list of premium inclusions and is set up in a private room with an en-suite. To make payment as accessible as possible, you can divide your fee into an upfront lump sum and an ongoing daily payment. Both will be fully refunded at the end of your loved one’s stay with us.
Let’s detail the end-of-life procedure
It’s a difficult conversation but a necessary one. When you’re ready to have it, we’ll need to discuss the end-of-life requests you or your loved one has. This will be an ongoing conversation that will require regular updates and will need to cover resuscitation requests and pain management preferences.
We will work closely with you to explain every option and possibility so that you can focus on what matters most — your loved ones — and leave the medical details to us.

Frequently asked questions
Please get in contact if you’d like to discuss your questions or concerns about our palliative care for Huntington’s disease.
At its most advanced stage, Huntington’s disease can completely immobilise the afflicted individual. Their cognitive and communicative abilities will also have significantly deteriorated. At this point, our palliative goal is to maximise their comfort however possible. We will administer pain management medication and physical therapy to keep the body healthy and perform all care tasks, including bathing, feeding and cleaning.
Rest assured that we treat our residents with the utmost dignity, respect and compassion.
