Hawthorn House Mission Statement
We are committed to providing all who come to share their lives with us the opportunity to age gracefully while maintaining your highest physical, mental and social well being. We love our residents and we will provide services to meet your needs with the dignity you deserve. Our commitment to services is based on the following:
Never doing what you can do for yourself
Excellent care
Excelling in all we provide
Dignity first
Self Esteem paramount
The success of our commitment is in our Mom Rule.
The Mom Rule
Our staff asks these questions in all that we do.
• Would I do this to my mom?
• Would I do this for my mom?
• Would my mom approve?
We recognize the variety of cultures, interests, abilities and needs of our residents. Activity and service intensity will be determined by the interests, abilities and functional limitations of the identified resident's needs. An individualized assistance/service plan will be developed for each resident, using a team approach with resident, family and staff participation.
All services focus on assistance. Our role is not to "do for," but to "assist with" each resident’s identified needs. By emphasizing assistance, we support independence and promote dignity for our residents.
We also believe in the social model for services and programs, which emphasizes involvement in activities of life at whatever level is possible or desired.
Our goal is accomplished through a compassionate and caring staff. The fulfillment of this mission and our dream enriches the lives of all those we serve. Please ask any of our staff members about our Mom Rule...they'll be glad to tell you all about it.
