Every year, At Home Care sponsor a "Focus Star" through the Saba Rose Button Foundation rehabME program. This sponsorship enables a child with disability to access intensive physiotherapy blocks (three weeks / three times per year) and covers specialised equipment they may need.
Our previous Focus Star was Scarlett Whitmore, and it was so rewarding to watch her participating in rehabilitation, trying new equipment, and to follow her journey, celebrating all the improvements to her strength and watching her develop new skills. We are looking forward to getting to know our current Focus Star, Taj Deluca, and seeing what he gets up to in the next 12 months!

Through the Saba Rose Button Foundation, At Home Care donates care and respite support to families when required. This support can take many and varied forms. Sometimes a family may need an in-home nurse or carer for a period of time or respite, or a couple may need a ‘date night’ out whilst a nurse or carer is provided at no cost to the family.
We believe that a care service such as this is invaluable and helps keep families strong.

Spinal Cord Injuries Australia (SCIA) offer short term accommodation in their beautiful fully accessible home. Located in Floreat and within close proximity to the shopping centre, eateries, and Herdsman Lake parklands, the transition house can prepare you for life at home following a spinal cord injury, and offers respite and temporary accommodation in a modified home environment.
At Home Care is proud to partner with SCIA and provide care for residents of the Transition House.

We offer complimentary use of our own wheelchair accessible van to enable anyone with a disability to access the community. The van is safe to drive with a C Class (regular) license so you just need a driver, usually a family member or friend, and we provide the van with no hire fee and a demonstration on how to use the wheelchair hoist and restraints.

In addition to the initiatives above, At Home Care regularly supports and sponsors charity and fundraising events held throughout the year.
Recent sponsorships have included; Mighty Mike’s Gala, Saba Rose Button Foundation Ball, Marc’s Quiz Night, Spinal Chatters and Corporate Supporter of International Day of People with a Disability.
We understand how much work goes into developing and organising events such as these and how important they are in raising both awareness of disability and valuable funds to help loved ones receive the best possible opportunities, care and equipment.
