- each resident will be treated holistically to meet their physical, spiritual, emotional, cultural and social needs. Likes, dislikes and preferences are acknowledged.
- each resident has control of his or her life and is given the dignity and recognition of his or her right to exercise such control by being provided with choices and being consulted in matters and events affecting them personally.
- priority of admission to Warrina is of assessed needs regardless of race, colour, creed or social status.
