Foundation Park Mission & Philosophy
Mission
"Caring for a person suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or a related disorder is an extraordinary task demanding stamina, patience and love. At Foundation Park Alzheimer’s Care Center, we understand that both the family and the person with Alzheimer’s disease are affected. Acknowledging this reality, Foundation Park’s philosophy of care is to treat residents compassionately with a caring staff who value an individual’s dignity and self-worth while offering support and friendship to a resident’s family and loved ones."
Philosophy
Love is the act of sensing or hearing the special music in another spirit, And in those times when they forget their song, We sing the words back to them again...
