CULTURAL NEEDS:
Our community is one which includes people from many ethnic backgrounds. If you have any special needs or practices related to your ethnic background, please tell us so that we can ensure these are met empathetically and with consideration.

VALUABLES:
To ensure safe keeping, we ask that all money for residents personal spending be handed to the office. Money in safe keeping may be accessed any time during normal business hours. Whilst we encourage you to create a home for yourself, we stress that you do not bring in items of financial or family value. While every effort will be made to ensure property is safe, we accept no responsibility for loss of valuable items.

CONCERNS AND COMPLAINTS:
While we aim to please, we appreciate that there will be times when you may feel unhappy about the service. We have an open door policy and you are to feel free to approach the staff at any time to discuss any concerns you may have.

We provide an ongoing and diversified activities programme that takes into account residents interests, preferences and abilities. The special needs of each individual resident is assessed, and we like to know the residents past interests and activities as this information assists us to provide a programme which will be of maximum benefit, interest and success for the resident. Residents are encouraged (but not forced) to participate.
