Gentlecare Philosophy

Shoreham Village believes in the philosophy of Gentlecare developed by Moyra Jones.

Gentlecare is a system of care delivery that treats each resident as a unique human being. Everyone involved in the care of the residents, regardless of their function or job description accepts and values the dignity and worth of each resident.

Gentlecare respects the former lifestyles and roles of the resident and provides opportunities for family and volunteer involvement. A homelike environment, people, meaningful activities and allowing the resident to make choices are important aspects of the Gentlecare program.
