1: To maintain a high standard of care, physically, spiritually, psychologically and socially on an individual basis.

2: To respect the privacy of residents providing congenial bed sitting rooms where they can be alone when they wish and where they can entertain guests as required.

3: To foster the independence of residents, encouraging them to take responsibility for choices and activities, and to keep as active as possible.

4: To acknowledge the rights of individual residents, the rights to have their own possessions around them, the rights of spiritual support regardless of race, creed or religion.
