GENERAL BAPTIST NURSING HOME RECOGNIZES OUR NEED TO CREATE WAYS OF LIVING AND WORKING TOGETHER DIFFERENT FROM THE TRADITIONAL MODELS GENERAL BAPTIST NURSING HOME SUPPORTS MODELS WHERE ELDERS LIVE IN OPEN, DIVERSE AND CARING COMMUNITIES. OUR VALUES ARE AS FOLLOWS: - KNOW EACH PERSON; EACH PERSON CAN AND DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE; RELATIONSHIP IS THE FUNDAMENTAL BUILDING BLOCK OF A TRANSFORMED CULTURE; RESPOND TO SPIRIT, AS WELL AS MIND AND BODY; RISK TAKING IS A NORMAL PART OF LIFE; PUT PERSON BEFORE TASK; ALL ELDERS ARE ENTITLED TO SELF- DETERMINATION WHEREVER THEY LIVE; COMMUNITY IS THE ANTIDOTE TO INSTITUTIONALIZATION; AND DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU.
