MyHouse is holistic care for all - Combining resident centered care and small house design principles into a home for residents, family and staff.
Operations
Our motto is “care for all.” That translates to care for the elder, family, staff and organizational leadership. It is through mutual respect and learning that trust is built among all participants in My House. As a result, My House is an elder-centered home, families are approving, job duty satisfaction is high, and organizational leaders can lead with confidence and success.
Operating My House does not demand strict policies or rigid procedures, but it does require a level of knowledge, training and commitment. We believe in practices that will guide your organization on the journey to culture change.
A “practice” supports your philosophy. It can be an action, system, or process that supports the words in your written philosophy; good practices make your philosophy come alive!
