Principles of Individuals Self-Determination
Freedom
The exercise of the same rights as all citizens. People with disabilities, with assistance when necessary, will establish where they want to live, with whom they want to live with and how their time will be occupied. They do not have to trade their inalienable rights guaranteed under the Constitution for supports or services.
Authority
The control of whatever sums of money are needed for one’s own support, including the re-prioritizing of these dollars when necessary. This is accomplished through the development of an individual budget that “moves” with the person.
Responsibility
The wise use of public dollars. Dollars are now being used as an investment in a person’s life and not handled as resources to purchase services or slots. Responsibility includes the ordinary obligations of American citizens and allows individuals to contribute to their communities in meaningful ways.
Sisters Who Care employees are trained and expected to perform their duties professionally and appropriate at all times. If our employee’s violate the policy a corrective action will take place.
