Family Health West's Social Model provides resident-focused care. The program is designed to tap into the pleasant memories and experiences of the past and add Fun in the day. We support an Expanded Family Environment that individually enhances the Quality of Life of each resident and offers an Alternative to Loneliness with Meaningful Activities and Pleasant Surroundings where Stimulation and Wellness are the focal points - thus adding Life to their "Autumn Years." We promote the conviction that Eldercare is much more than just custodial care. By using our Continuum of Care and community resources we provide care that assists residents to prevent unnecessary declines if possible, and to improve or maintain at their highest possible level of functioning and independence. We use a Human Approach to providing care. Touch, a simple hug or pat on the hand, soaking the feet in warm water followed by a foot massage, a nice walk, listening to music, enjoying pets and children's visits, or other one-to-one attention is the human approach being offered. The Social Approach lends itself to the
redirection of resident behavior. By
Our goal is to provide an environment in which our residents can live and work towards maintaining their Highest Level of Functioning possible and enjoy Quality of Life. We want to provide a Wonderful Slice of Life and Fun for our Residents in Their "Autumn Years." |

this approach to
Eldercare, we look at and examine the connection between a
resident's health and his/her social, spiritual and psychological
experiences. The care is designed to contribute to the overall
well-being of the resident on all levels. Our
programs allow for innovation, creative ideas, stimulation, and ultimately
Quality Care designed by individual needs. Staff members focus on
building a relationship with the resident so that they can get to know
and understand the individual resident. A "Best Friends / Family Approach"
is used. Staff focus on promoting stimulation, fun and higher
functioning. Resident behaviors are redirected by using creative,
fun approaches, and utilizing the family approach. The highlight
of the day is focused on resident individual social needs and
bringing Fun into their lives. By focusing on resident individual preferences, care takes place as directed
by the resident's need, not according to staff schedule.
Caregivers provide the highest and most appropriate level of Care and
Caring by recognizing each resident as an individual with his/her
own Unique Life History and Needs.
