Our promise
The Aruma Way
“At Aruma, I feel like I'm part of something bigger - they listen, understand, and help me grow in my own way. “
“To me, the Safe Way means the person supporting me is a person that cares, a person that is friendly, a person that I'm comfortable being around and opening up to. “
“I feel safe in my home, and I know I can speak up if I need to. “
“It's all about me and the respect that this is my house, my property, my rules. It's promoting my independence because that's what I want. “
“Aruma staff work well with all the people who support me. This means everyone works together. “
“A good support worker asks me what I want to do and involves me in every decision about how I live my life. They help me to do things, but they don't do things for me. “
