The traditional institutional model of care is task-focused where regimented eating, shower, dressing and visitor times are the norm. This does not reflect an individual’s preferences and can threaten their personal autonomy. At SilverTree, our focus is on the individual, recognising their unique needs, preferences, values and aspirations. Residents are placed in houses according to their lifestyle and who they are as individuals and not according to their cognitive diagnosis. They live an independent life as they want and their condition allows, which lets them flourish.
