Mission
The Mission of Assisted Living Centers, Inc.
All of our facilities; Slade Mansion,
Memory Lane at Slade Manor, Woodholme Springs, Rolling Meadows, LifeSpring,
and Hampton Meadows are large “turn-of-the-century” homes
specializing in assisted living care. Our goal is to maintain a “home
away from home” atmosphere as well as to ensure high quality and
appropriate resident care by objectively and systematically identifying,
maintaining, and evaluating the needs of our residents. We provide a warm
family atmosphere and welcome visits from our resident’s family
and friends.
Assisted Living Federation
of America (ALFA)
Ethics/Mission Statement
ALFA members are dedicated to providing
excellent care that meets their residents’ needs in an ethical and
responsible manner. To this end, ALFA members have adopted the following
general statement of principles to guide their actions. While recognizing
that the needs of seniors are unique and that no uniform “standard
of care” can be developed which embraces or addresses the needs
of all residents? ALFA members believe these general principles provide
a basic framework of our mission to the communities we serve and our entire
society.
