We will ensure our sales and marketing material is honest, current, clear, accurate and complies with relevant laws. We will ensure we provide prospective residents with all the information they need before they move in including information on costs and key services in a clear, transparent manner.
We will ensure we provide and maintain the facilities for our residents and comply with all relevant legislation to ensure our residents are able to live their best lives. We will ensure our staff are trained and supported to deliver high quality services.
If a resident leaves the community for whatever reason, we will respectfully and clearly communicate the move out process with their family members / representatives.
