Our organization has remained on the leading edge of rural healthcare service delivery for 60 years and has developed successful State-of-the-Art Programs for Alzheimer's and Elder Care. The key to
our success and recognition? It's our
Philosophy of Care and the
Family Health West has created and implemented an innovative Social Model Concept approach to Alzheimer's and Elder Care. This unique model offers a Family Environment that enhances the Quality of Life of our residents - complete with simulated Main Street shops such as an old fashioned General Store, Flower Shop, etc. and other homelike areas with a fireplace, family dining room, etc. Cottage Fronts identify the entrance of each resident's room. Residents also have access to a secured outdoor courtyard. This model was created to Tap into the Pleasant Experiences and Memories of the Past and Add Fun in the Day - and it's done exactly that. These additions are vital to the well-being of our residents and have helped to enhance their functioning. This Environment offers Alternatives to Loneliness with Meaningful Activities and Pleasant Family Surroundings where Stimulation, Wellness and Fun are the focal points - thus adding Life and Fun to their "Autumn Years." A guidebook is available to help other facilities replicate a Social Model. |

creative, innovative,
State-of-the-Art Programs that we have designed and
implemented to fulfill our Mission. All of our programs for
resident care are delivered from a standpoint of human caring - with
love, compassion and concern for meeting our residents' individual needs
by using a Loving-Touch Approach. We have found that a simple
hug or pat on the hand, a nice walk, music or one-to-one attention is
the human approach that our residents really need. This is done in
a Pleasant, Fun, Family Environment in which our residents feel Loved,
Accepted and Safe. Through the use of these concepts of care,
we strive to improve or maintain our residents' Functioning and Quality of Life
and redirect the frustrations so often evident with aging.
