Bentleigh Care is committed to offering a safe, comfortable and friendly home to give our residents a sense of well-being and contentment.
We help them to enjoy the best quality of life, which their individual circumstances allow and our whole approach is focused on fulfilling these aspirations. We aim to build our routines around the needs of our residents.
Each resident is seen as an individual with a distinctive personality and character. Our residents are treated with dignity at all times sometimes in undignified circumstances.
Our Activities
A sense of independence is recognized and cultivated and the pursuit of suitable hobbies and interests is encouraged, as they can be so therapeutic.
We support a service user's inclination to participate in appropriate group activities, but also always respect a desire for privacy.
Ongoing links with family and friends outside the Home are actively encouraged and supported.

This is intended to provide each person and/or relative/friend or other representative with the best possible information on which to make an informed choice about their future
