About Us | Mission, Vision, Values
Our Mission:
To provide opportunities to enhance quality of life and remain healthy at home for as long as possible.
Our Vision:
To lead the community in offering opportunities for integration of seniors.
During February 2007 the board and staff met to review operations of the organization and strategize for the next 5 years. Goals were set to ensure achievement of our vision. The manager reports to the board monthly regarding progress on these initiatives.
As part of the initiatives, a working document defining the vision was produced in March 2007:
to integrate seniors with all members of the community;
to fill in gaps where services are still needed;
to increase the number of clients serviced;
to increase the number of satellite programs (including mobile programs);
to enhance staff training;
to reach out with warmth and respect;
to bring community together;
and to stimulate the mind, body & spirit.
Our Values:
We value the individual and their place in the community, accountability, respect, honesty, integrity, caring, openness, and fun!
We believe:
that aging is a normal part of the life process;
that personal growth and the actualization of one’s maximum potential is achievable at any life stage;
that all people have the right to informed decision-making, freedom of expression, and individuality;
that our community deserves access to support services that enhance the ability of individuals with chronic health problems to remain independent;
that client choice and control and a focus on “Wellness” are essential building blocks of a successful program;
that informal caregivers have a valuable role and deserve ongoing support and respite;
that compassion and integrity supported by the constant improvement of our work and the wise allocation of resources will result in satisfied clients, families, caregivers, volunteers and staff.
