Our Mission: Quality Healthcare and Compassionate Living
Forest Street Compassionate Care Center is fundamentally dedicated to providing high-quality healthcare and comfortable living accommodations for all our residents. We strive to fulfill this mission through a series of core principles:
- Resident-Centered Responsiveness: We are committed to promptly and effectively addressing the diverse needs of our residents, whether they are in robust health or facing illness.
- Excellence in Service Delivery: Across all service levels and within our carefully selected locations, we are dedicated to providing outstanding care that meets the highest standards.
- Empowering and Dignified Environment: We cultivate an environment that actively enhances each resident’s understanding of their medical condition, treatment options, and prognosis. We prioritize their dignity, security, comfort, and peace of mind above all else.
- Responsible Stewardship: We ensure that all services are delivered and the facility is meticulously maintained in a fiscally responsible and sustainable manner, ensuring long-term viability and consistent quality.
- Balance of Independence and Security: Through our dedicated staff, well-equipped facilities, and thoughtfully designed programs, we aim to strike a delicate balance between security and independence for each resident. Our goal is to assist residents in achieving and maintaining their highest possible level of physical, mental, and psycho-social well-being, always in accordance with their individual comprehensive assessments and personalized care plans.
Philosophy of “Sheltered Freedom”: Individualized, Progressive Care
Our core philosophy at Forest Street is rooted in the belief that exceptional Long Term Care is built upon a progressive nursing approach delivered within a nurturing, home-like environment. Individualized care is not just a concept, but the very foundation of our practice. We firmly believe that the use of chemical or physical restraints contradicts a resident’s fundamental need for autonomy and self-determination. Instead, we champion the creativity and dedication of the Forest Street Compassionate Care Center staff to develop unique and personalized interventions. These tailored approaches are designed to address each resident’s specific challenges while maximizing their freedom of movement and independence.
We wholeheartedly embrace the responsibility of providing a therapeutic environment that is both comfortable and safe. We are confident that this philosophy of “sheltered freedom” allows us to create the least restrictive and most empowering environment possible for every resident under our care at Forest Street Compassionate Care Center.
