Mission:
To deliver innovative responses and creative solutions to the behavioral, emotional and physical needs that challenge the consumers on a daily basis.
Tradition:
Enthusiastic provision for the most fulfilling lifestyle possible for the consumers living in ìHearts of Gold Care Homes, Incî.
Statement of Goals:
It is Hearts of Goldís goal to provide a clean, comfortable living environment with a loving and caring staff to create a home-like family setting where joy and personal growth abound.
We implement behavioral plans encouraging each consumer to grow and develop self esteem, self worth, and seek normalization and community integration.
We strive to decrease maladaptive behaviors that are a barrier to greater independence and living in the least restrictive environment possible.
Our 2-to-1 staff ratio will allow for individualized training and attention. We use positive reinforcement behavior modification techniques to achieve the consumerís stated goals.
We will use as many community resources as possible to aid consumers in achieving greater independence and to have variety and stimulation while learning.
Hearts of Gold Care Homeís Philosophy:
Our philosophy is to provide a caring environment where residents can maximize their potential. This includes integrating the consumer into the community as much as by taking advantage of all resources to help the consumer grow socially and physically. The consumer will be enabled to develop new skills and enhance existing skills to help him/her function better in their environment. Consumers with behavioral challenges will be prepared to grow, so they may move on to a less restrictive lifestyle and have new and rewarding experiences. Physically, every opportunity is made to improve the consumerís health and daily functioning. Provision of a safe and comfortable home enhances the surroundings where growth can be experienced.
