C.H.T is a non-denominational charitable trust committed to expressing Christian principles by providing compassionate, comprehensive and continuing care for older adults and those with comparable needs.
We believe every person is entitled to be treated with respect at all times and given encouragement to retain the highest level of personal dignity, integrity and independence compatible with their state of health. We endeavour to develop the full potential of our patients, residents and clients in a caring, safe environment and encourage family participation. Our aim is to be an efficient organisation providing an increasingly high quality of care which is non-discriminatory with respect to religion, culture and ethnic origin acknowledging patient needs, preferences and rights. We will achieve this by utilising a committed and skilled, multi - disciplinary team reinforced by an ongoing programme of education. Our facility also offers these services: |
