The Way We Care:
The Way We Care is the Pilgrims’ Friend Society approach to ensuring that older people have all that they need to flourish in their later years, especially as their physical needs increase. Every part of what The Way We Care looks like in the daily lives of our care homes is rooted in how the Bible tells us to treat and support others around us. There are eight foundational principles to The Way We Care:
* Every person is a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual being.
* People are made for the community.
* Every person has a unique role to play in life.
* All families are made up of different people with different skills and abilities.
* Building and growing relationships are an important part of life.
* Every person’s opinion about what happens to them is valid.
* Every person’s role is important, regardless of their capability.
* Every person has been lovingly and uniquely created.
We are committed to seeing the whole person – the history, the experiences, the joys and the sorrows of life, and to knowing who the important people are who make up the bundle of each person’s living.
