Privacy & Dignity.   We must respect the privacy and dignity of our Pensioners. This is their home and we are privileged to work here and support them.

Consultation.  We will communicate with our Pensioners and each other in striving to achieve a harmonious living and working environment. 

Companionship.  We will ensure our Pensioners benefit from the companionship and comradeship that is integral to life at the Royal Hospital. We will work hard to ensure that they never feel alone.

Quality of Life.  We will strive at all times to support our Pensioners to enjoy the best possible quality of life and maintain their choice of independent living for as long as possible.
