Values

LifeCare recognizes these values and their role in fulfilling our mission:

Committed to Our Clients and Patients

We recognize the unique physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of each person receiving health care in the home. We strive to extend the highest level of courtesy, safety and service to patients, family/caregivers, visitors, and each other.

Committed to Leadership

We deliver state-of-the-art home health and in home care services with identified centers of excellence. We engage in a wide range of continuing education, clinical education, and other programs for professionals and the public.

Committed to Excellence

We strive to create an environment of teamwork and participation, where, through continuous performance improvement and open communication, health care professionals pursue excellence and take pride in their work, the organization, and their personal development. We believe that the quality of our human resources—organization personnel, physicians, and volunteers—is the key to our continued success. We provide physicians an environment that fosters high quality diagnosis and treatment. We maintain financial viability through a cost-effective operation to meet our long- term commitment to the community.
