Aims & Objectives

 

 To create and promote a happy, secure and homely environment providing good residential care, giving services designed to maximise individual potential, enhance mobility and independance, maintain personal dignity and give stimulus to maintain as high a quality life possible. We also ensure that your rights as a resident are upheld and respected in the following areas:

 

 

• Personal independance, choice and responsibility for your actions.

• To care for yourself as far as you are willing physically and mentally able to do so.

• To have your personal dignity respected by others in everyway possible, and to be treated whatever your disabilities or frailties as a valued individual in your own right.

• To have privacy and space for yourself, your belongings and your affairs.

• To take a full part in any decisions about daily living arrangements, to be consulted about proposed changes and to have a genunie say in home policies.

• To maintain the same access to facilities and services in the surrounding community.

• To have every opportunity of mixing with other people in the community, whether by going out or inviting friends in and recieve visitors at any time.

• To have your cultural, religious, sexual and emotional needs accepted and respected as well as the whole range of commonly accepted needs i.e food, shelter,warmth and self respect.

• To expect management and staff to accept the degree of risk that is involved in these principles and not to have your personal independance unneccasserily or unreasonably restricted for fear of too much risk.

• To leave the home and to be assisted to leave, if you chose to do so.

• If, when the health of a resident deterioates to such a level that they would require extensive care, even if this would neccessitate a short hospital stay, it would be the practise to continue with this extra care and attention if at all possible. The resident would not be asked to leave because of failing health, unless a doctor believed it would be better for the resident to be admitted to a nursing home or other establishment.
