A Culture of Caring

THE SAMARITAN PHILOSOPHY OF CARE

Samaritan approaches each person and family in our care with reverence for the sacredness of life, while developing and sustaining a relationship that is serving, trusting, authentic and caring.

• We recognize the unity of life and our connectedness with each other, those we care for, our community and our world.
• We strive to create a healing environment at all levels to restore wholeness of self, by assisting those being cared for with meeting basic human needs, while seeking to align mind, body and spirit.
• We provide care that is both life giving and life receiving through the incorporation of the philosophy, art and science of caring.
• We are guided by a deep sense of commitment and the ethic of human service.
