Approach
Our
Philosphy
TenderNest is committed to providing a caring person centered environment for our residents with cognitive
impairments. These services are provided in a residential setting, promoting residents dignity, independence,
individuality, privacy and choice. Our loving staff will interact with each resident daily to provide meaningful
activities and promote a stimulating social environment. We strive to improve the quality of life for each of our
residents and interact in a direct, honest, and kind manner with residents, their families, and friends. While life has
many inherent risks we will constantly strive to mitigate risks and promote safety in all aspects of life at TenderNest.
TenderNest’s approach to providing care to those afflicted with cognitive impairments center around the principles
outlined above. It is our goal to allow and assist each resident to be the individual they are and to develop a
relationship of trust with them; that adds meaning and quality to their life. We assist our residents with loving care
and patience. We give them room to explore, and when invited, join them in their world. We laugh with them, not at
them. We do not scold, lecture or belittle them in any way or at any time. We do our best to support their families
and honor the requests they make of us. We are thankful to be part of such a worthwhile and important job and hope
to bring joy to our residents on a daily basis. When things go badly we will do our best to handle circumstances with
dignity, grace, and kindness and do what we need to do to rectify the situation as quickly and as quietly as possible.
The balance to this philosophy is being diligent in delivering our services using good health care practices,
complying with all state regulations, providing a positive and supportive work environment for our employees and a
constant pursuit to build safety into all aspects of life at TenderNest.
