The Philosophy of Assisted Living Care

We encourage you to look for a general philosphy of care based on 10 principles - principles that make residents in Assisted Living the top priority. The residence should:

  • Offer cost effective quality care that is personalized for the individual's needs

  • Foster independence for each resident

  • Treat each resident with dignity and respect

  • Promote the individuality of each resident

  • Allow each resident choice of care and lifestyle

  • Protect each resident's right to privacy

  • Nurture the spirit of each resident

  • Involve family and friends in care planning and implementation

  • Provide a safe, residential environment

  • Make the Assisted Living residence a valuable community asset
