Our Philosophy
It is the Philosophy of Harvest Homes to provide each of our residents with a supportive, homelike environment. We dedicate ourselves to serving residents who have Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia with compassion and respect in a comfortable and safe environment. We strive to create a structured, yet quiet, low stimulus environment, where each person can function at his/her highest capacity, within each individual’s limitation.
Families can find comfort in knowing that their loved one is living in a secure environment. Through positive reinforcement while assisting our residents in completing the basic functions of everyday living, we are able to enhance each residents esteem and quality of life.
