HOME

Creating a "home atmosphere" is a combination of home-like features which develop deep connections and a sense of purpose. Home means security and a sense of belonging. Familiar objects and items that draw in the past, such as old photos or a handmade quilt, help maintain a sense of belonging and security. By filling your loved one's home with significant items, you are reminding them of who they are and all who love them.

PRIVACY

High on the priority list for seniors is privacy. Being respectful when addressing personal cares and needs is extremely important. We work hard to honor that.

CONNECTIONS

Quality connections retain a person’s dignity, self-respect, worth and also helps them feel as if they belong. A pat on the shoulder, a hug, a compliment, are all easy and simple connections which we all need to experience daily.

SAFETY

Keeping your loved one's home safe is also a priority. Remove clutter and keep it simple. Avoid busy patterns on furniture and carpet which could cause confusion, anxiety or even a fall. Contrasting colors and textures help distinguish items from one another. Natural lighting is very essential, as studies state that older people need three times more light to see adequately.

YOUR CHOICE

It is your home, you can be on your schedule and routine. 
Home is where you are loved, safe and thriving. Home is where you belong.
