Dignity and Respect

We promote our service users' dignity and respect in the following ways:

• Treating each service user as a valued individual.
• Encouraging service users to be involved in making choices regarding their care plan.
• Offering access to a range of activities that enable service users to express themselves as unique individuals.
• Promoting equal opportunities, and encouraging a path to independence.

Independence

Lincolns Care understands that our service users come from a variety of backgrounds, and believes that it is important to encourage our service users to take advantage of the opportunities within the community. This is achieved by:

• Encouraging and promoting our service users to lead as much of an independent lifestyle as possible.
• Supporting our service users to make decisions, choices and taking informed risks.
• Encouraging and supporting our service users to maintain contact with their friends and family.
• Encouraging service users to have access to, and contribute to the records of their own support package.
• Although support will be provided, we will encourage our service users to cook, clean, budget and shop for themselves.
