we believe the following:

• That each of our residents is entitled to care that recognizes and attempts to meet each individual's physical, psychological, social, intellectual, spiritual and cultural needs.
• That care, as required should be directed towards each individual's needs, taking into account previous life style and resident's right to independence and self-determination for as long as possible.
• That care and services provided should be delivered by an interdisciplinary team of qualified and caring individuals, comprised of staff, families, volunteers and community partners.
• That residents and families, friends and/or significant others should be actively involved in decisions which affect them.
• That meaningful community ties are essential to each individual's quality of life.
