Our Philosophy

We believe in providing Homes for clients, rather than institutions. Our homely environment is key to implementing our philosophy. Alkare's philosophy is to ensure that all clients are treated as individuals, and each client has a care plan developed to help them achieve their full potential. In this way our clients can continue to grow at a pace which is suited to their needs. Each client will be able to participate in activities or hobbies to help them develop a sense of worth and value. At Alkare, all clients are valued and challenged to become all that they can be in a positive and supportive atmosphere.

Our Commitments

Alkare Limited works with clients to achieve realistic attainable goals. We will support them in developing structures to attain these goals. We believe that our clients have the right to:

• An ordinary pattern of life within the community,
• Be treated as an individual,
• Additional help from the community in which they live from professional services in order to develop their maximum potential as individuals,
• Respect and dignity,
• Personal development,
• Social integration,
• Community integration.

Our clients have the same human value as any individual, they have the right to the same consideration and respect as others in society. We aim to enable our clients to share the same civil and political rights as other citizens and make personal choices on a daily and long-term basis, taking responsibility for their own decisions. Clients sometimes follow a meaningful daytime occupation, ensuring that each client, regardless of his or her degree of disability, is able to develop to his or her full potential in a mature and individual way. We give our clients privacy and personal possessions but also encourage involvement in a variety of recreational and educational activities available to other members of the community and to have access to the same resources and facilities.
