Philosophy of Care:

1. Respect for the dignity of the human person.
   The dignity and worth of any individual does not diminish with age or infirmity. We do not accept the utilitarian view of life, but view each resident as having intrinsic worth as a human being regardless of his/her level of "productivity".
2. Appreciation of each person's potential.
   We seek to look beyond the mental and physical limitations resulting from aging and disabilities, and appreciate the rich resources gained by a lifetime of experience and accumulated wisdom. We encourage ongoing personal development of the residents and opportunities for them to contribute.
3. Recognition of the need for multi-dimensional care.
   We recognize that our residents have spiritual, physical, psychological and social needs, and seek to provide care for the whole person through an active chaplaincy program, appropriate medical treatment, personal and social activities.
4. Respect for life.
   While we encourage the resident and family to consider treatment options in advance of terminal illness, we recognize that God is the giver of life. Thus, we respect the sovereignty of God in relation to the timing of death and seek to provide the best possible palliative care where death seems imminent.
5. Belief in life after death.
   The Christian view of the life hereafter profoundly influences our attitude and perspective on care for those who are nearing the end of their physical lives. This brings hope and comfort to both residents and family.
6. Christian perspective on suffering.
   Alleviating suffering is an important part of compassionate care. Where this cannot be fully accomplished, we acknowledge that because of our faith in Christ, suffering can be faced with hope and courage.
7. Encouraging teamwork.
   We believe in a cooperative team approach for providing services and care, including regular input from families, residents, staff and representatives of the Fraser Valley Health Authority and the provincial government.
8. Promoting wise stewardship and creativity.
   In structuring our care plans, generosity of heart should be accompanied by careful strategic planning, efficient use of resources, and creative employment of skills and substance.
9. Fostering genuine community.
   We seek to provide a home-like atmosphere in our facilities where people have a sense of belonging, where they help one another and where friendships can flourish.
10. Linking faith and service.
    The health and well-being of individuals especially the most needy is part of the church community's obligation. Menno Simons stated, "True evangelical faith cannot be dormant. It clothes the naked, it feeds the hungry, it comforts the sorrowful, it shelters the destitute, it serves those that harm it, it binds up that which is wounded, it has become all things to all men."
