Part of the Roch Dog Residence Standard (RDRS-01) · Published by Roch Dog
Roch Interpretation
The home is the resident's own private unit. Shared lobbies, gardens, and back-of-house space are not the home; they are common or staff areas.
Examples
Compliant
The standard treats the resident's own flat as their home and the shared garden as a common area.
Not compliant
A provider applies private-home welfare rules to the shared lobby, or counts staff-only rooms as part of the resident's home.
