Our ethos

The Six Senses is a foundation for a flourishing shared experience whilst reaching meaningful personal goals. This framework has been developed from the ‘Senses-framework’ Nolan et al., 2006.

Our ‘Six Senses’ are: Security, Continuity, Belonging, Purpose, Fulfilment and Significance.

These senses underpin the guiding Relationship-First Approach that makes Arcare an innovative and creative industry leader.

Central to our values is reflecting and recognising the diverse voices we support in our community. Through comprehensive focus groups, interviews and research within the Arcare Community, we collaboratively formed the following values, which continue to develop and grow: Relationships, Uniqueness, Partnerships and Flexibility.
