Emotional Intelligence: Our Residents are Whole People
There are lot of options out there when you are considering Senior Living. All of them hit the basic needs you will have when it comes to managing your physical health. But living is more than waking and breathing. At Our Home, we don’t want to only keep you alive, we want to care of everything that helps you feel alive. That’s why we recommend looking for a community that emphasizes the importance of emotional intelligence and injects that into their culture.
What is emotional intelligence:
Emotional intelligence is the ability of a person to manage their own emotions while also being able to recognize and influence the emotions of others. Both parts of that definition are important.
We want our staff to be able to manage their own emotions over the course of a day. There is always a lot happening in a senior living community. Whether it is a heated moment where a resident is struggling with their temper or a rough moment when comforting a resident through challenging times, we want our staff to be able to handle it. This allows our staff to provide the best care possible while also taking care of themselves and remaining resilient in the face of a highly emotional environment.
We also want our staff to understand the emotions of our residents and be ready to help. Your emotions are paramount to your care. Our staff can help you cheer up on a bad day and stay calm when everything seems to be going wrong. Our staff leads the community by giving you a chance to look to someone for a steady hand.
Our Residents are Whole People
When you make your home at Our Home, you aren’t just bringing your physical needs to our space. You also bring your emotional and mental health as well. A staff with high emotional intelligence can provide the type of care needed to keep you thriving in our environment. It is hard to go through all the physical and nutritional needs of your day when you are feeling down. Our staff and programming consider this and bring you the emotional support needed to find joy in your day.
The easy part of Senior Living is making sure you have your medications, get to your appointments, and that you are provided with meals every day. The hard part is investing in the emotional health of our residents, providing a culture of holistic care, and being there for you on your worst days. That’s what we commit to every day at Our Home
Our Home Cares for You
Our Commitment on your worst days is how we separate ourselves from the rest. We want you to find a home here that actually feels like home. We prioritize hiring and training staff members with high emotional intelligence so they are better prepared to provide the level of care we provide every day. Whether it is our nurses, our front desk attendants, or our janitorial staff, no one is brought in without understanding the importance of our role in your emotional and mental health.
