Dignity in Action Day with a touch of elegance!

Today, we have been celebrating Dignity in Action Day with a touch of elegance! We hosted delightful Digni-Teas, where residents and staff could share their perspectives on dignity.

It was hugely important to discuss what Dignity Means to Us, and Our 10 Dignity Commitments;

- Treating someone with dignity involves showing respect, empathy and kindness.

- Treat others as you would like to be treated, acknowledging everyone’s worth and individuality.

- Build meaningful relationships by developing a deep understanding of an individual’s unique life experiences, and what makes them who they are.

- Listen actively, acknowledge from the individual’s perspective, and show genuine warmth and interest by valuing each person.

- Empower individuals to maintain their independence, encourage self- expression and promote choice.

- Engage with the individual and their family or friends as Care Partners.

- Respecting an individual’s right to privacy is fundamental in fostering trust and dignity.

- Demonstrate a respectful understanding of the feelings of others. Wherever possible see the scenario through the perspective of the individual.

- Advocate for the individual, safeguard them from all forms of neglect and abuse.

- Be Kind.

Let's raise awareness and cherish the meaningful connections that make every moment dignified!
