Elite Care is the realization of our dream to provide a fundamentally different approach to residential care. Extended Family Residences™ promote a family lifestyle of close staff-resident relationships, meaningful community-building activities, and physical and mental achievement while providing assistance when needed. Our home-like environment concentrates on life as we all live it, with a country kitchen as the focal point and easy access to all areas of the home. If it looks like, feels like, smells like, sounds like and has the heart of a home then it is home. Our vision for Elite Care is based on my experience growing surrounded by four generations of family. My family aged in place while surrounded by nurturing sons, daughters, and grandchildren. As family members we were intimately familiar with each other, and my grandparents' lifetime experiences were brought to bear on important household decisions. An intergenerational cast made their lives purposeful, as they passed their knowledge on to future generations. Today, most frail older people are forced out of family life.
Our Extended Family Residence™ model brings family and community back to the lives of the elderly. Homes have environmental design features to encourage social interaction, healthy lifestyles, and independence. Intimate private rooms and diverse common spaces accentuate our extended family philosophy. Our staff are encouraged to build strong relationships with the residents. Furthermore, we deliver a quality of life that also fulfills staff needs, enabling everyone to benefit. A key component of the Extended Family Residence™ model is that staff and their families live with residents. Technology helps us maintain our family environment by allowing us to the focus on residents.
