When a resident is
admitted to St. Patrick's Home, there is an understanding that that the
Home will provide basic care to the resident and that the resident
agrees to accept it.
At the same time, the
Home encourages residents to maintain independence in as many ways as
possible, including decision-making about choices for personal care and
treatment. Each resident and family will be informed about their
health situation, the choices that they have and the interdisciplinary
team's suggested course of treatment. Before any non-routine
treatment takes place, consent will be sought. |
