Elim Nursing Homes

Elim Nursing Homes are a Ministry of the Elim Pentecostal Church Ireland.
Registered by the Health and Social Care Trusts

The philosophy and practice within our Homes leads to a friendly, caring and stimulating atmosphere where patients are listened to and feel valued, their rights upheld, their cultural and religious beliefs are respected and living in the Home is a positive and beneficial experience. In order to achieve this, management and staff at all times seek to maintain the following values:

• DIGNITY AND RESPECT
The uniqueness and intrinsic value of individual patients are acknowledged and each person is treated with respect.

• INDEPENDENCE
Patients have as much control as possible over their lives whilst being protected against unreasonable risks.

• RIGHTS
Patient individual and human rights are safeguarded and actively promoted within the context of services delivered by the Home.

• EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY
Patients are treated equally and their background and culture are valued and respected. The services provided by the Home fit within a framework of equal opportunities and anti-discriminatory practice.

• CHOICE
Patients are offered, wherever possible, the opportunity to select independently from a range of options based on clear and accurate information.

• CONSENT
Patients have a legal right to determine what happens to them and their informed, genuine and valid consent to the care, treatment and support they receive is essential.

• FULFILMENT
Patients are enabled and supported to lead full and purposeful lives and realise their ability and potential.

• SAFETY
Patients feel as safe as possible in all aspects of their care and life and are free from exploitation, neglect and abuse.

• PRIVACY
Patients have the right to be left alone, undisturbed and free from unnecessary intrusion into their affairs and there is a balance between the consideration of the individual’s own and others’ safety.

• CONFIDENTIALITY
Patients know that information about them is managed appropriately and will not be disclosed without permission, except when required by legislation or the need to protect the well-being of others.

We believe that these values when integrated into all aspects of planning, delivery and review of services, the minimum standards are being met, and the Home is a resource that delivers the best possible outcomes for patients living here.
