Our Mission​

  

To exhibit Christian compassion by providing a warm, welcoming home-like environment to those individuals in need of supportive care in an atmosphere of respect and dignity.

 

  

  

Core Values​

  

  1. That every individual has been created by God, and is deserving of respect and dignity.  We desire to provide an environment that fosters this.

  2. That due to their limitations, those we serve are often economically disadvantaged.  Therefore, a primary focus of our efforts is to reach out to those who may not be able to afford the care provided by other providers.

  3. That we seek to make a positive contribution to the community of Columbia, and conduct ourselves in a way that is considerate and respectful to our neighbors.

  4. That our staff would be seen as gifted members of our family, deserving of encouragement, compassion and respect.
