Care is given in a holistic manner meeting the physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs of our residents.
At all times residents are treated in a sensitive, understanding and respectful manner promoting and maintaining dignity and privacy. Our focus on care is person-centred.
We recognise residents are part of a family outside the facility and will endeavour to inform and involve the family members at all times in a team caring approach.
Our residents are cared for in a warm, safe and supportive environment ensuring care, comfort and companionship.
