Linbrooke Geriatric Care Associates

When working with a client we

strictly adhere and pledge

ourselves to a code of ethics

necessary to properly provide

recommendations and guidance

personal to every person.

The code of ethics is provided

and approved of by the National

Association of Geriatric Care

Managers.

• Pledge of Ethics

1. We will hold all information told to us by our clients in confidence.

2. We will provide our services to you only after we have assessed your needs and you, or a person designated to act for you, understand and agree to a plan of service, the results that may be expected from it, and the cost of the service.

3. We will base our plan of service on goals that our clients have defined, and  enhance the decisions  they have made concerning their life.

4.  Our duty is to maintain our loyalty to our clients. We will always provide service based on our client's best interests, even if this conflicts with our interests or the interest of others.

5. We will end service to our clients only after reasonable notice. We will recommend a plan for the client to continue to receive service as needed.

6. We will not substitute our judgment for yours unless we are acting in the role of your guardian, appointed by a Court of Law, or with your approval or the approval of someone designated to act for you.

7. We will hold in trust any confidence you give us, disclosing information to others only with your permission, or if we are compelled to so by a belief that you will be seriously harmed by our silence, or if the laws of this State require us to do so.

8. We will refer you only to services and organizations that we believe to be appropriate and of good quality. We will explain to you any business relationship we have with any service that we propose, and give you information on alternatives, if at all possible, so that you, or a person designated to act for you, can make an informed decision to accept or reject the services that we recommended to you.

9. I will strive to assure cooperation between all of the individuals involved in providing service and care to you.

10. We are qualified in our profession to provide the services that we undertake. We continue to improve our skills and knowledge by participating in professional development programs and maintaining certification and licensing in our profession

11. We will not promote or sanction any form of discrimination.
