In 1962, two dedicated Anglicans, Archdeacon Frederick Guest and Mr Jack Davies, came together with a vision to create an Anglican aged care organisation that would serve Western Australia's growing elderly population. They submitted a plan to Archbishop Robert Moline, and Anglican Homes was born. What started as a response to a community need has grown into one of WA's largest not-for-profit aged care providers, operating for over 60 years. In 2006, the organisation was renamed Amana Living to become more inclusive while maintaining its Anglican essence.
Today, Amana Living delivers a comprehensive range of services including residential aged care homes, retirement living villages, home care packages, day clubs, respite care, and specialised dementia services. The organisation operates its own Registered Training Organisation, Amana Living Training Institute, ensuring staff are professionally trained to deliver high-quality care. Guided by values of compassion, collaboration, curiosity, inclusion, and trust, Amana Living's vision is to create a community where every older person is honoured and valued. The name 'Amana' reflects this philosophy, meaning truth, integrity, and nurturing, while 'Living' emphasises helping residents and clients optimise their quality of life.
