At Senses WA, we understand the importance of taking a break. Caring for a loved one with a disability is a rewarding but demanding role, and it’s crucial to have time to recharge. That’s where Amelia House in York comes in, an unique respite home designed to provide both you and your loved one with the rest and support you need.

Amelia House is more than just a respite home; it’s a sanctuary nestled in the historic town of York, just over an hour’s drive from Perth. Funded by the Department of Communities Disability Services, this home is fully equipped to cater to individuals with a wide range of needs, especially those requiring high levels of physical care. With five comfortable bedrooms, including one specifically designed for high needs, and two bathrooms, one of which is fully accessible, Amelia House is prepared to meet the unique requirements of every guest.

Respite at Amelia House is about more than just care, it’s about creating an environment where your loved one can enjoy a variety of activities in a supportive setting. With spacious living areas equipped with big-screen TVs, a DVD player, and a PlayStation, plus a patio with barbecue facilities, there’s plenty to do.
