Profile ... Our Outlook
To create and exist in an environment which is beneficially stimulating to both residents and staff, by maximising individual potential and enhancing mobility, independence and quality of life in a caring homely atmosphere.

The emphasis at The Brambles is on independence, and towards this end,you will be encouraged to continue as you would in your own home. That is doing as much as you are physically able to do for yourself.


To ensure that your rights as a resident in the following areas are upheld and respected:

1. Personal independence, personal choice, and personal responsibility for your own actions.
2. To care for yourself as far as you are physically and mentally able, and willing to do so.
3. To have your personal dignity respected by others in every way possible, and to be treated, whatever your disabilities or frailties, as valued individuals in your own right.
4. To personal space and privacy, for yourself, your belongings, and your affairs.
5. To take a full part in decisions about daily living arrangements, to be consulted about any changes
which may be proposed, and to have a genuine say in the policies of the Home.
6. To the same access to facilities and services in the surrounding community as any other person, including registration with the medical practitioner and dentist of your choice.
7. To be given every opportunity of mixing with other people in the community, whether by going out or
by inviting other people in.
8. To have your cultural, religious, sexual and emotional needs accepted and respected as well as the whole range of other commonly accepted needs i.e. shelter, warmth, food and self respect.
9. To expect management and staff to accept the degree of risk that is involved in these principles, and not to have your personal independence unnecessarily or unreasonably restricted for fear of such risk.
10 To leave the home and to be assisted to leave if you choose to do so.
