Smoking

Smoking, when permitted, must only occur in designated areas.  In the interest of safety and the rights of others, smoking is not permitted inside Martyn Claver Aged Care .  For safety purposes cigarettes are secured by the Nursing Staff or designated staff of Martyn Claver Aged Care for distribution to the resident as required.  Because of the risk of fire, residents are to be supervised at all times when smoking and it is very important that matches or lighters are not left with the resident.  We insist that residents, visitors and staff follow the smoking guidelines.  Smoking is a health hazard for that is not encouraged by Martyn Claver Aged Care.
