Our Mission
Statement
The agency’s mission is to provide paraprofessional services to clients in their place of residence, thereby assisting them in realizing his or her highest level of independence and quality of life. We are committed to providing quality care/service by staff members who recognize the value of the aged and disabled.
Our Vision
Statement
We strive to be one of the leading providers of a wide range of quality home care and services, recognized for enduring dedication to provide innovative, professional, and compassionate care to the communities we serve.
Philosophy
Our goals and services are based on two fundamental philosophical principles: the belief in the innate worth of the aged and disabled individual and the belief that each individual, regardless of age, race, color, creed, sex, national origin, or handicap(s) is entitled to maximize his potential as a human being and as a member of society.
It is the contention of this agency that the aging process is a normal state in the development of any individual and that chronic disease and disability are, to some degree, a part of that process. This agency is dedicated to rehabilitating aged and disabled individuals within the confines of their residence to maximize their contributions and fulfill their goals as family members and members of society with a minimum of conflict. In accomplishing this end, it is felt that the self-respect of the individual can and will be enhanced.
Our agency is also a vital member of its community. As an employer, the agency practices non-discrimination and strives to provide opportunities for personal and professional growth. As an integral part of the business community, the agency makes every effort to serve the people with attention to current area practices and specific needs.
Agency Goals
To provide a broad base of services within the scope, allowing clients to be involved in establishing, implementing, and evaluating services.
To maintain clients in their place of residence as long as possible and provide services in the least restrictive setting.
To provide safe, cost-competitive quality services.
To develop a relationship with referral sources to effectively meet our clients’ home needs.
To function as a liaison between our clients and available community resources and assist our clients in coping with their needs and problems.
Agency Purpose
We believe home care services are an essential part of continuing care/service to clients in their place of residence. Home care minimizes the effects of illness, accident, or disability.
We recognize that the aging process is an unavoidable part of life. We understand chronic disease and disability may be part of that process.
In providing care/services to individuals, the agency recognizes that clients and families have inalienable rights to self-determination. They have the right to participate in planning for their care/service, to make decisions about their home care, and to maintain their independence as long as feasible.
The agency recognizes that staff behavior, attitudes, knowledge, and understanding have an important influence on helping clients.
