Kate left her career in the corporate sector, where she held leadership roles in Operations and HR, to set up Home Care Assistance (West Coast Perth).  She has a BA in Business Administration and a Masters in Organisational Development.  She was drawn to Home Care when her own mother was diagnosed with dementia in 2011.  Kate experienced first-hand the good and the not so good elements of the Aged Care Sector.  It was as a result of this experience that she decided to join the Home Care sector.   Her aim is to relieve much of the stress seniors and their families often face, in similar circumstances to her own.

Her background in people management has shaped the culture of HCA; which at its heart is customer focused.  Clients, their families and Caregivers as viewed as partners, who are respected and involved in decisions so that the best choices are offered.  There is a strong emphasis on helping seniors live the life they want, given the constraints they may be facing, whilst supporting family members who are often juggling conflicting priorities of looking after an ageing relative, holding down a job and managing family life. 

Kate is extremely proud of the wonderful team of health professionals she has built around her, who deliver exceptional care and customer service, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days of the year.

Dannielle is a Registered Nurse with a Diploma in Health Services Management and has over a decade of experience working with seniors.  After graduating, she spent a number of years working in Intensive Care as well as Surgical HDU, where many of her patients were seniors.  Prior to graduating she worked in a nursing home where her love of caring for seniors was born.

Her passion for helping seniors maintain their independence and live well at home is very much in line with the Balanced Care Method, Home Care Assistance’s holistic approach to care and overall quality of life.
