What We're About
We are a small group home owned and operated by a middle aged married couple. We have aged parents that help us understand the needs of the elderly and most importantly, the expectations of their loved ones. I have been a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) for 30 years. I have been the Director of several Adult Foster Care facilities since 1988.
Our Mission
The mission of Hidden Creek Adult Foster Care
and all of its staff is to provide a home to the residents that is most
similar to living with their own loved ones in a conventional home. The
quality of their days will be our priority. Our home shall have a
secure, safe living environment that will still enrich and fulfill
their lives. The needs of each individual senior will be addressed and
all effort will be made to preserve their personal dignity.
Goals, policies and operating procedures will attempt to enrich the
lives of the seniors whose trust we hold as well as their loved ones
who depend on us. Each resident will be handled with love and
understanding, as a part of our family.
Our Goal
To provide the aging population with a home-like setting which would be an alternative to a more restrictive and institutional environment. We will provide our clients with twenty-four hour supervision and quality care.
Our Residents
The residents will be over fifty-five years old, have various ailments requiring constant, supervision. They should be able to understand verbal cueing, accept care giving, have some social skills and fit in a small cozy environment. They should not be bed bound or require continuous nursing care.
Our Program
We are going to provide as "normal" of surroundings as possible. We will include the residents in as many day to day tasks as they care to join in. We will address their individual likes and dislikes whenever we are able and make their days as pleasant,as we can. The residents will have the opportunity to have private time, accept visits from their families and religious leaders.
Our Staff
To care for the special needs of our elderly, the staff will be carefully selected and trained to meet the needs of all our clients. The new licensing rules regarding criminal background checks will be followed and all employees will be of good moral character.
Our Setting
We are situated off the road at the end of a private drive. The home is appealing to the eye and equipped with ramps for handicap accessibility. We have beautiful grounds with attractive vegetation. The porches are designed to accommodate relaxation and enjoying nature. Our bird feeders also entertain us all.
