Philosophy
We believe that the foundation of Long Term Care is to serve our clients through a progressive nursing approach in a home-like setting, with the emphasis on individualized care. We believe that the use of chemical and/or physical restraints in the provision of this care is contrary to the client’s needs for autonomy. We believe that the concern and creativity of the Forest Street Compassionate Care Center staff can be utilized to develop unique interventions that will address each person’s own specific problems without impairing their freedom of movement. We accept the responsibility to provide a therapeutic environment, comfortable and safe, and are confident that this philosophy of “sheltered freedom" will allow us to achieve the least-restrictive environment possible for all of our residents.
