Today was the first day of orientation at my new job. I believe I am going to like it there. They have a philosophy that it should be goal for the care of every individual to get them out of the institution and as high functioning as possible. In other words restoring dignity to them. Yes that may include having caregivers living on or near the premises but that's ok. Care is centered around the individual instead out of trying to make the person fit the care environment. Human dignity is very important. This can help them feel good about themselves and think of themselves as a worthy individual, as they should.
