Our adaptable approach to Parkinson’s disease palliative care
Parkinson’s disease is a demanding one to manage, both for our residents and our team. That’s why we believe a resident-specific approach to palliative care is the best way to achieve the standard of living our residents deserve.
We adapt our palliative care plans to each resident’s evolving needs. We’ll tap into our network of specialists to provide the physical, emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual needs they require as they require them.
- We can care for associated comorbidities, such as dementia or depression
- We offer medicated pain management support and physical therapy
- We care for our patients as their Parkinson’s progresses to the end-of-life stage
Premium care
Our residents have ranked us in the top 1% of Melbourne palliative care facilities. We’re quite proud of that. But we aren’t going to rest on our laurels. We’ve worked hard to earn their trust and will continue to do so by helping our residents build rich, rewarding lives.
24-hour care
We appreciate just how vulnerable Parkinson’s can leave a person. We guarantee unassailable peace of mind through constant support.
Mental health care
Parkinson’s isn’t only a physical disease. Our palliative care residents find constant warm support through individual counselling and group therapies.

Why choose Oxa Care
Palliative and end-of-life care requires an approach as compassionate as it is medically experienced. At Oxa Care, we see these qualities as intrinsically linked. We strive to keep our residents happy and fulfilled, but the truth is that their outlook can sway from day to day. This is a natural and understandable reaction. But, through our decades of service in the aged care industry, we understand how to listen to their concerns and adapt our care. We believe our holistic approach makes us one of Melbourne’s leading palliative care providers for patients with Parkinson’s disease.
Community is everything
Between our warm staff and residents, new arrivals can always voice their struggles and find support.
Tailored treatment
Every single one of our well-being and lifestyle therapies and medical services can be adapted to suit individual residents.

Our Parkinson’s palliative care offers joy as well as safety
Our approach to palliative care calls us to do more than merely manage the effects of Parkinson’s disease — we want our residents to be able to enjoy what life has to offer for as long as they can.
At Oxa Care, we offer a wide range of therapies that encourage socialisation, creativity and joy. Pet therapy, art, music, social groups — there’s always something to look forward to.

Frequently asked questions
Here are answers to some of the most common questions we’re asked about our palliative care for Parkinson’s program. Please do contact us if you’d like to discuss any concerns.
Residents with Parkinson’s disease need more intensive focus than our unafflicted residents. This isn’t always just a matter of round-the-clock attention. In most cases, it means we need to accommodate and organise several therapies and regular specialist visits, especially as the resident’s disease progresses. And, as the resident’s mobility deteriorates, we’ll find alternative ways to provide the care they need. That might mean telehealth appointments, in-house visits or other accessibility solutions.
We offer end-of-life and palliative care services for patients with a host of conditions, including:
- Cancer
- Dementia
- Lung disease
- Motor neurone disease
- Huntington’s disease
- Cardiac disease
- Stroke
We also offer emergency palliative care for patients with sudden ailments.
