George Derby Centre believes that our residents, families and other members of our community come first. Therefore, the following core values have been adopted to guide all program and service decisions:

Compassion

We believe that compassion is the fundamental value that influences all other core values. Compassion means caring for our whole community by understanding their unique needs and striving above all else to promote optimal personal wellbeing and happiness.

Community

We maintain a community of caring and support since our residents, families, volunteers and staff are entitled to live, visit and work in an active and involved community.

Excellence

We strive toward excellence through the provision of quality care, programs and services for our community members by promoting best practice and by focusing on their future needs and aspirations.

Involvement

We promote the active interest and involvement our community members by encouraging them to contribute to and participate in the Centre’s daily affairs.

Respect and Dignity

We encourage our community members to maintain their sense of self worth by ensuring that they are treated with justice and fairness, respecting diversity and individual differences and by honoring their contribution to the Centre’s affairs.
