Anchor House

By providing continuing care to clients in their own homes, home health services minimize the effects of illness, accident, or disability and cost. Anchor House recognizes the worth of all persons, including the elderly or those with disabilities. We believe the contributions of these persons are no less important than the contributions of other me... mbers of our society. We are dedicated to helping these persons retain or regain their maximum participation in society. We recognize that the aging process is an unavoidable part of life. We understand chronic disease and disability may be part of that process. Person-Centered Planning - In providing care to our clients, Anchor House recognizes that clients and their families have certain rights to self-determination. They have the right to participate in the planning of their care, to make decisions about their health care, and to maintain their independence as long as possible. Health education is an integral part of Anchor House's program. Anchor House recognizes that the behavior, attitudes, knowledge, and understanding of our staff have an important influence on helping clients attain and maintain their health. Therefore, we are committed to the rehabilitation of aged, diseased, and/or disabled individuals within their home environment, allowing maximum contribution, retention of self-respect, and independence. When rehabilitation or recovery is not realistic, we commit to providing dying individuals with appropriate care and coordinated services, supporting their dignity and self-respect. GoalsRead More
