Our goals and objectives
Our goal is to provide attendant care services to each client
in a holistic and client-centred focus that enables each client
to achieve maximum personal independence, optimize their
functional skills and capacities within their community.
Clients are treated with respect and individuality and the
home is under obligation to preserve and protect their dignity,
privacy and independence.
Clients are also given options to exercise their choices in
all aspects of activities of living thereby promoting
self-esteem and well-being.
Our objectives are to work in partnership with clients and
their treating practitioners, delivering services with a client-centred
approach and playing an active role in helping clients achieve
