Our
Philosophy
The Pines
at Edgewood is a Residential Care Home that provides non-medical
non-institutional community based living arrangements that provides
shelter, food and protective oversight to an adult population that may
be elderly, disabled, and have special needs or special care needs.
The Pines
is a retirement home that offers to the residents services which enable
each one to remain independent in a congregate setting. It offers an
environment that seeks to foster a caring, friendly atmosphere of
cooperation and respect for each resident. Independence is supported for
as long as possible with the security of knowing someone is available 24
hours a day to respond promptly to a need.
Our
philosophy is resident oriented and as such focuses on all of the
residents needs and desires. Our staff is dedicated to providing the
highest quality of services essential to the maintenance and improvement
of the physical, mental, spiritual and social well-being of the
residents.
The
resident is treated with consideration, respect, and full recognition of
his or her dignity and individuality. That in turn provides a constant
affirmation of their place as human beings. Caregivers strive to
serve all in a manner that supports and sustains a quality of life
consistent with respect, concern and dignity. Caregivers respect the
need for each individual to retain autonomy to make decisions and
choices for themselves that effect in a positive manner their present
situation. The staff is skilled in and maintains the attitude
necessary to assure that the residents live in an environment that
promotes safety, security, peace, contentment and tender loving care.
Our
schedule of daily activities allows maximum flexibility for residents to
make choices for themselves. Individual preferences are recognized
and provided whenever possible that include food, clothing, religious
activities, friendships, entertainment and other services if requested
and reasonable to provide a holistic approach to care.
Residents
rights are understood and adhered to and the residents are supported and
encouraged to live by them. |
