How I would involve the care values for Mary

Whilst caring for Mary I will make sure I will include the seven care values within her care.

When caring for Mary I will respect her cultural beliefs as she is a Catholic, by making sure every Sunday she attends mass within the nursing home, if she would like to. Mary likes to have her rosary beads with her at all times so I will ensure she has these on the frame of her bed as this is where she likes them to be kept. She will say her rosary in the morning when she wakes and before she goes to bed.
