Mount Hope Centre for Long Term Care: Philosophy of Care

The philosophy of care is centered on the needs of the individual and focused on enhancing independence, choice and personal wellness for the residents who live at Mount Hope. Interdisciplinary teams work with residents to promote both individual well-being and positive group dynamics in this shared living environment.

Mount Hope's philosophy of care is built on the following principles:

• resident-focused care: emphasizing privacy and maximizing resident independence and choice;
• creating a home-like environment;
• providing opportunities for residents to enjoy activities they engaged in prior to moving to Mount Hope;
• encouraging residents to enjoy the out-of-doors and be involved in the community
