As our loved ones age or need medical attention, it’s human nature to want the best for them—especially when it involves care. For many families all over Oxfordshire, the matter isn’t always whether their loved one or parent needs it but rather how to make sure such assistance is encouraging, respectful, and individual. That’s when Visiting Angels Oxford comes into the picture and offers personal care services Oxfords residents trust.
What Are Personal Care Services?
At its simplest, personal care is dignity. It is the everyday essentials most of us take for granted—assisting with bathing, dressing, grooming, and safe transfer from one place to another in the home. But over the practical support, it is companionship, routine, and kindness. For Visiting Angels Oxford, personal care is not tick boxes—it is caring for each person warmly and respectfully.
Why Home Personal Care is Important
Home is where the heart is. For frail or older adults, being home can be secure, stabilizing, and independent. It is not a care home with a routine among multiple people, but one-to-one care services Oxfords families value through us. It’s one-to-one care, in the environment where your loved one feels most comfortable—their home.
We assist with:
Bathing, dressing, and toileting
Toileting and continence care
Mobility aid and falls prevention
Preparing meals and assisting with feeding
Reminding or reminding the person to take drugs
Drugs
Companionship and emotional support
And yet these might seem like small things, but the actual difference is how they’re done—lovingly, patiently, and with human warmth of touch.
A Personal Connection That Matters
One of the things that sets Visiting Angels Oxford apart is the way we match carers. We don’t just match one with another—we learn about your relative and pair them up with a carer they’ll be comfortable with. Interests, personality, way of communicating—these are the things we take into account. It’s the way we build relationships more like having friends and relatives visit than hiring care workers.
Many of our clients say the same thing: “We don’t know what we’d do without our Angel.” And that’s exactly how it should feel.

Real Stories, Real Impact
We recently supported a man in Summertown after an operation. His daughter had been balancing working while caring for him, and it was becoming too much. His live-in carer gave his mobility, washing, and medication—yet also someone to sit with him and share a cup of tea. His daughter told us, “It feels like the weight has been lifted and Dad is smiling again.”
These are the types of stories that inspire us to do what we do.
