Our Pledge of Ethics

PROVISION OF SERVICE
We will provide ongoing service 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 service.

SELF-DETERMINATION
We will base our plan of service on goals you, or a person designated to act for you, have defined, and which enhance the decisions you have made concerning your life.

LOYALTY
Our first duty is loyalty to you. We will always provide services based on your best interest, even if this conflicts with our interests or the interests of others.

TERMINATION OF SERVICE
We will end service to you only after reasonable notice. We will recommend a plan for you to continue to receive the services as needed.

SUBSTITUTE JUDGMENT
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.

CONFIDENTIALITY
We will hold in trust any confidence you give us, disclosing information only with your permission, or if we are compelled to do 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.
