Philosophy of care

The Staff team at Eden Place believe we are providing homes rather than institutions, in which the individual is empowered to develop and grow to their full potential. Some residents may choose to live out their whole lives in our homes, whereas others will be supported and encouraged to move on to more independent/alternative living, utilising our rehabilitation services.

Each resident is regarded as an individual with unique strengths and needs; they are at all times afforded privacy and dignity and are encouraged to express his/her own beliefs and opinions. The individual’s right to personal and private space is respected at all times. Residents are empowered to take well-assessed risks to enhance their personal development; encouragement is given to each resident to live their lives as independently as possible.

The strengths and needs of each resident are assessed and the resident is encouraged to participate fully in the assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of their care.

To meet our residents’ needs we will liaise closely with other agencies and make use of outside social facilities. We encourage and sustain links with family and friends and facilitate integration with the local and larger community.

The recommendations of all regulations and standards are adhered to at all times.
