Disability Accommodation

Housing and support services that empower independence within a caring community

Welcome to Westcare's Accommodation Village

Westcare Accommodation Services, located at the Westcare Accommodation Village in Shenton Park, provides village-style housing for working-age people with disabilities. The Village offers a unique community environment surrounded by bushland, walking trails, and shared facilities including a dining room, lounge, gym, recreation areas, and laundry rooms. Accommodation is provided on a board-and-lodging basis, with breakfast options, dinner, and packed lunches provided seven days a week.

Residents who have NDIS funding may be eligible for personalised support services tailored to their individual needs. This can include one-on-one assistance with daily routines such as getting ready in the morning, attending appointments, grocery shopping, participating in social activities, and debriefing after a day at work. Our team works closely with each resident and their family to promote independence, confidence, and a balanced lifestyle.

Westcare values purposeful living, and long-term residents are encouraged to engage in meaningful daily activities such as employment or volunteering. Residents are supported to maintain their personal and financial independence, and each application for accommodation and services is considered in consultation with Village management and Westcare’s Support Services team.

History of Westcare Village

Florence Ellen Hummerston was an incredible Western Australian who devoted her life to the interests of people from all walks of life. Her immense contribution to the state still echoes today, including her tireless dedication to support people with a disability. She will be remembered for her wit, vigilance, readiness to speak her mind fearlessly and be completely whole-hearted in everything she believed in.

Florence Hummerston was largely instrumental in instigating the building of a hostel for people with disabilities. At the time, she was President of the Tuberculosis and Chest Association and worked tirelessly for the cause of rehabilitation of these people. We are proud that the Village bears her name.

The first stage of the Florence Hummerston Hostel, as it was then known at Bedbrook Place, Shenton Park was officially opened by Sir Charles Court on 31 March 1979. Florence Hummerston negotiated a substantial loan from the government at the time to instigate the building of this hostel.

Westcare Accommodation Services is located at the Westcare Accommodation Village in Shenton Park, providing village-style accommodation for working-age people with disabilities.

At the Village, we offer a range of housing and individual support services options to ensure that a person living with a disability, or disabilities can find the right kind of accommodation and services for their circumstances.

Our team closely works with the Individual and the Individual’s family to provide accommodation and services that suits their needs and allows them to achieve greater independence and a balanced lifestyle.
