Our objectives
For more than 40 years, Crossroads Care has supported unpaid carers, older people, and vulnerable adults across local communities. Established to provide practical help to family carers, we have evolved into a well-established provider of community-based care and support services throughout Oxfordshire.
Our work is rooted in a simple principle: that people should be able to live safely, independently, and with dignity in their own homes for as long as possible. We provide flexible, person-centred support tailored to individual circumstances, including respite care for carers, dementia support, home-based assistance, wellbeing services, and help for people living with long-term health conditions or disabilities.
We combine professional standards of care with a strong local presence. We work collaboratively with families, local authorities, healthcare professionals, and community partners to respond to changing needs and help reduce isolation, pressure on carers, and avoidable hospital admissions. Through this approach, we aim to provide support that enables people to remain independent and connected within their own communities.
Our activities
Crossroads Care provides flexible home care and support services for people of all ages, helping them remain independent in their own homes. We are a registered charity and member of the national Carers Trust network, supporting unpaid carers across the UK. As part of this network, we share knowledge and best practice while helping raise awareness of carers’ needs and the support available to them.
Our services are delivered by trained care workers and can range from short visits to full-time or live-in care, depending on individual needs:
-
Adult Hourly Care: We provide regular home visits offering personal care and daily living support. This can include help with washing, dressing, meal preparation, medication prompts, mobility support, and companionship.
-
Live-in Care: For people who need more continuous support, we offer live-in care where a care worker stays in the home to provide ongoing assistance. This allows people to remain in familiar surroundings while receiving 24-hour support.
-
Respite Care and Carer Support: We provide short-term care at home to give unpaid carers a break from their caring responsibilities. This can be arranged for a few hours, overnight, or longer periods, helping carers rest or focus on other aspects of life while knowing their loved one is supported.
-
Support for Children and Families: In some areas, we also provide care and support for children with additional needs, helping families manage daily routines and giving parents and carers essential time to themselves.
-
Specialist and Flexible Care: We support people living with a wide range of conditions, including dementia, physical disabilities, learning disabilities, and long-term health conditions. Care plans are personalised and reviewed regularly to ensure they remain appropriate.
All of our services are delivered in people’s homes across Oxfordshire and are designed around individual needs, routines, and preferences. We work closely with families, carers, and professionals to provide consistent, reliable support that adapts as circumstances change.
