Sorry, I don't know much about Western Australian records, a google search records that there are records on Family Search, I had a quick look. could not find anything for John, maybe a real good look might find something.

Thank you Cass.  I too couldn’t find him in Family Search, but I will definitely follow up the “Dead Reckoning” indexes - they look promising!

According to the Perth Metropolitan Cemeteries Board website   mcb.wa.gov.au   John Ward died 15 June 1927 at Claremont (a Perth suburb), age 65 years and was laid to rest in Gravesite 0239, Section VC, Anglican Area, Karrakatta Cemetery.

The "Old Men's Home" to which you refer, underwent a name change to "Sunset Home" in 1943.
It appears Admission and Discharge records are available, refer:

Thank you, I do already have this information.😁

The archives unfortunately were unable to find anything pertaining to John in the home admissions etc. - they are not complete.

IMO "Incomplete Records" should be conspicuously annotated on any website. That is most unfortunate for you.
