Privacy and Dignity

The home believes that privacy is an absolute right of every resident and an essential aspect in the safeguarding of each individual’s personal dignity.

Residents are treated with sensitivity, respect and thoughtfulness. Anyone entering a resident’s room will always knock before entering. Residents are addressed by their title or preferred name and treated as an individual. Whenever possible, residents are encouraged to do things for themselves. If private or personal issues arise with residents these are discussed in a private environment. Residents are always treated in a proper and sensitive way when performing intimate care tasks.
