Villa acadienne "A place where staff want to work and people want to live" HOME ABOUT SERVICES JOIN OUR TEAM ADMISSION CONTACT US p h i l o s o p h y o f c a r e We believe it is essential to treat residents with dignity, patience, and empathy knowing the transition to long-term care is not easy. We are stepping away from the institutional model of care and adopting a resident centered care approach. Each day we strive to make our resident’s lives worth living by empowering them to make their own decisions whenever possible and offering flexibility and choices in their daily lives. Our interdisciplinary team works to fight against resident loneliness, boredom, and helplessness by building relationships with our residents and truly getting to know each individual’s wants and needs. We work hard to ensure that our residents know that their move to Villa Acadienne is not the end of their independent lives, but instead the beginning of their next chapter.
