Having been temporarily closed in March due to widespread and elevated COVID-19 infection rates among our staff and community, Oxford Community Hospital re-opened on May 19.
Oxford Hospital is about 45 minutes drive-time from Christchurch. The hospital has 15 beds, providing a variety of health services for the Oxford community and surrounding districts including four beds for convalescing post surgery, acute admissions and palliative care; and eight beds for people who require long-stay care with permanent hospital level care. There are also three beds for short term hospital level relief care for people whose family or care givers need a break.
Other services include: Meals on Wheels, day care, equipment hire, needs assessment and service co-ordination, assessment and treatment of outpatients.
This hospital does not provide emergency medical services. In a medical emergency, call 111 and ask for an ‘ambulance’.
We welcome your feedback about our services and your experiences at Ellesmere Hospital.
Note: We cannot give medical advice by email. Please contact your doctor or the person in charge of your medical care.
