About HAODQC
Cape Town's Resident-Managed Disability Care Home
HAODQC is not a typical care facility — it is a home managed by the residents themselves. Our 12 residents, all living with quadriplegia or paraplegia, hold portfolios and run the Centre's operations together.
Located in Durbanville, we have provided permanent residential care, wheelchair-friendly accommodation, and 24-hour support since 1994.
🏠 Permanent Residential Care
Long-term stable housing for adults with physical disabilities who need daily support.
👥 Resident-Managed
Residents hold real portfolios — Chairman, Treasurer, Secretary and more.
♿ Wheelchair Accessible
All spaces designed for wheelchair users with accessible bathrooms and common areas.
🕐 24-Hour Support
Dedicated staff provide around-the-clock care so residents live safely at all times.
