Pledge of Ethics

Genevieve Faulk, President of Bayshore Geriatric Solutions, is a member of both the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers and the National Association of Social Workers and therefore upholds a Pledge of Ethics and a Code of Ethics. The following is our pledge to our clients

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 to others 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.

REFERRALS/DISCLOSURE
We will refer you only to services and organizations we believe to be appropriate and of good quality. We will fully explain to you any business relationship we have with any service 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 we recommend to you.

COOPERATION
We will strive to ensure cooperation between all of the individuals involved in providing service and care to you.

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

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