The benefits of manicures for aged care residents
Far from frivolous, manicures are a wonderful way for our stressed and tired residents to lay back and relax after a long week. Typically preferred by the fairer sex, our manicure treatments offer gentle joint massages and moisturising that rough-skinned blokes will love as well.
- Beautiful manicures help residents destress and boost their morale
- Massage treatments relieve pain in the delicate joints of the fingers and wrist
- Manicures are an excellent chance to chat, laugh and socialise

At Oxa Care, joy is just as important as safety
As important as safety and comfort are in aged care, we consider them the bare minimum requirements. There’s no reason this has to be a time to retire from all the joys that life has to offer. We gladly go the extra mile to design regular activities and therapies to keep bodies active, minds engaged, and life interesting.
That’s why our residents’ votes have placed us in the top 1.26% of aged care facilities in Melbourne.

Why choose Oxa Care
Because we take pride in the work we do. Caring for another human being can’t be done with generalised plans; it requires a holistic, resident-centric approach that centres the individual's needs, desires, joys and fears. To do that, a carer has to really listen, and that is what we excel at.
Community is everything
The fun and anxieties of life are best experienced surrounded by supportive friends. You’ll make plenty here.
Tailored treatment
Residents can amend and expand their personal treatment plans at any time to keep up with their needs.
Price and payment
You can pay for your Oxa Care residency via a RAD or DAP payment or a combination of both. Use the sliding scale below to design a payment plan that suits you. We don’t believe in tiered service. Every resident at our Epping aged care home receives premium treatment, luxury accommodations and access to all of our amenities and therapies. Everyone deserves the best.
Book a tour
Keen to see our Epping home for yourself? We’ll be glad to have you! If you like, we can try to schedule a tour during one of our activity days so you can see our residents in action.
Rest and relaxation are key to a happy senior life
While all of our residents are welcome to sign up for our manicure sessions, we also treat it as a therapy that we prescribe to certain residents, including those in palliative care. The simple joy of being tenderly cared for makes a significant difference to residents feeling anxious, either because they’re new to aged care or because they’re entering end-of-life care.
Your personalised treatment plan will include more than medical care instructions and pain management solutions — it will include physical, emotional, psychological and even spiritual care.
