The
main aim of the home is to provide a caring, comfortable homely
environment where all the residents can develop to their fullest
potential without unnecessary rules, restrictions and institutional
type regulations.
The residents are all expected to contribute the general running
of the home to the best of their abilities. They all have special
tasks, which they have chosen to do and are helped to perform
them. Most of the time it would be quicker, easier and more efficient
if the staff performed these duties themselves but we firmly believe
in encouraging independence and a feeling of worth though contributing
to the daily routine in the running of the home.
|
The residents keep their own rooms tidy, make their own beds,
dust, wash dishes, lay and clear tables, prepare snacks and drinks,
empty bins, help with the laundry, vacuuming and many other essential
jobs. These all help to give them a sense of purpose and responsibility.
