MyHouse is holistic care for all - Combining resident centered care and small house design principles into a home for residents, family and staff.
Welcome to MyHouse. Make yourself at home.
Fundamental to culture change is the emphasis on care for the individual and their relationships with others. The flexible MyHouse model embraces culture change and eliminates many obstacles facing providers who want to implement resident centered care.
MyHouse fosters a sense of belonging and preserves the integrity of one’s own identity in a home environment that encourages the fullest expression of self and health. The role of family is an important contributor to that physical and emotional health; special care is taken to create a welcoming gathering place for shared meals, activities and quiet time together.
A well prepared staff that understands and believes in the MyHouse philosophy is critical to the success of small house communities. Before opening the home to welcome residents, staff is trained and operation guidelines are established in accordance with the practices of resident centered care in a small house. Well defined staff roles, together with continuous professional development ensure that the small house culture is preserved.
