Overview
In a culture that loves youthfulness, Bethany Care Society celebrates aging. The values of choice, quality of life, independence and community are cornerstones of our service. Our continuing care programs, housing properties and service options reflect the changing social, physical, spiritual, emotional and intellectual needs of residents and clients.
Homelike Environment
Through our caring communities, we create a homelike environment by:
- Celebrating the independent spirit of those who call Bethany home
- Including staff and families as partners in care - it's a joint effort that involves the resident whenever possible
- Encouraging families to continue family traditions and to bring furniture, pictures and mementos from home to the resident's room
- Providing care and support in activities of daily living
- Tailoring programs and activities to meet resident needs
- Offering community spaces for social activities and family gatherings
- Providing pastoral and spiritual care services
- Reflecting in our centres the unique personality of the communities in which we operate
