We must offer a full range or continuum of long-term care services. Environmental Design Responsibilities, Homelike Atmosphere We should create environments first as places to live and then incorporate services into them as unobtrusively as possible. We value homelike atmosphere and reducing the scale of large institutions into smaller residential settings. As faithful stewards, we conduct all our operations in a financially responsible way because only this will allow us to continue to serve. We are committed to providing charitable care while keeping our care affordable and encouraging fiscal independence.
Financial assistance is provided with a respect for the self-worth and dignity of the recipient.
We place an ongoing emphasis on raising funds designated for charitable care, to fulfill our responsibility to help. We recognize the dimensions of security in terms of personal well-being, finances and environment. Security is an element of our ministry for older people in their own homes and communities, and on our campuses. Ministry to Families To be in ministry to older adults we recognize that we must be in ministry to their families providing supporting services, information, and counseling about coping with life changes. Our concern for the family unit extends to the families of residents and employees.
