St Luke’s
Our Ethos
Christian caring, modelled on the example of love, service and teaching of Jesus Christ, is at the heart of the work of St. Luke’s Home. This is allied with the highest standards of contemporary insight and practice in the care of the older person.
We at St. Luke’s believe that each resident, a child of God, is uniquely precious and important.
Each individual resident has intrinsic worth and dignity, and has a right to respectful, personalised care. Each resident has an entitlement to be autonomous, and assistance to pursue personal goals should be available.
Fostering Independence in a Supportive Environment
Where independence and autonomy are not possible, a family member will be encouraged to act as an advocate. Recognising behaviour as a meaningful message arising from personal needs, we strive to understand the person’s internal frame of mind and its context.
The staff at St Luke’s Home serve as carers, facilitators, friends, and advocates. We aim to create a home-like environment where residents feel safe, secure, and supported. Our objective is to help individuals achieve their optimal physical and mental health. We always encourage resident participation in care planning and discussions on service quality. Acknowledging family ties, we offer flexible visiting times and promote a partnership approach for residents’ well-being.
