Our Administrators are an integral part of our leadership team reporting directly to the Director of Operations. In a culture that typically views aging as a period of decline, the resident-centered care philosophy asserts that no matter how old we are or what challenges we live with, life is about continuing to grow. Building on this new paradigm, it affirms that care is not a one-way street, but rather a collaborative partnership. All caregivers and care receivers are described as “care partners,” each an active participant in the balance of giving and receiving in our homes. Together, care partner teams strive to enhance well-being by eliminating the three plagues of loneliness, helplessness, and boredom. We follow this philosophy and need a strong leader to help us continue to change the culture in long-term care.
