The Philosophy of Care adopted for The Birches:

 

• We believe in resident centred care

• We recognize each resident as an individual with a unique story

• We strive to honour life-long personal routines through an individualized plan of care

• We treat residents with respect, caring and empathy

• We provide meaningful activities in a supportive, home-like environment.

• We are committed to maximize resident’s abilities by establishing relationships with residents and families, encouraging independence and allowing personal choices.

• We value and respect each other in our actions and how we speak to one another.
