HOME
| Our core standards are rooted in Scripture and are evolving in response to the challenges of today. |
1. Dignity of the Human Person - We recognize the sanctity of human life. People do not lose dignity
because of disability, poverty, age, lack of success, or race.
2. Community and the Common Good - The human person is both sacred and social. We realize our
dignity and right in relationship with other and in our communities.
3. Right and Responsibilities - People have a fundamental right to life, food, shelter, health care,
education and employment. All people have a right to participate in decisions that affect their lives.
4. Option for the Poor - The moral test of a society is how it treats its most vulnerable members. We
are called to look at public policy decisions in terms of how they affect the most vulnerable.
5. Dignity of Work - People have a right to decent and productive work, fair wages, private property
and economic initiative.
6. Solidarity - Our responsibility to each other crosses national, racial, economic and ideological
differences. We are called to work globally for justice.
7. Care for God's Creation - The Catholic tradition insists that we show our respect for the Creator by
our stewardship of creation. Care for the earth is a requirement of our faith. We are called to protect
people and the planet, living our faith in relationship with all God's creation.

| Facing the realities of chronic illness and/ or limitations in the activities of daily living can be difficult and overwhelming process. |
Long term care is made up of many different services which may include help with activities of daily
living (dressing, bathing, eating, toileting, etc.)
Considering long term care:
Making the decision to place a family member in a facility is never easy. A decision like this is one the
family should make together with the help of others such as doctors, therapists, and religious/ spiritual
leaders. Please note that it is essential for your loved one to be as much a part of the decision making
process as possible.
Indications that your loved one needs assistance:
Other than serious injury/ illness requiring 24hr. nursing care -
* Not paying bills on time or not at all
* Not recognizing the need for household repairs/ maintenance
* Increase in driving violations, getting lost
* Not preparing meals, missing meals
* Forgetting to take medications, incorrect medications or dosage
* Not making sound decisions
At SJNH we understand how essential a nurturing environment is to helping each individual retain their
maximum level of independence. Our staff is committed to understanding your loved one's needs, no
matter how great or small. With your support and recommendations from the physician's, we will
provide a comprehensive plan of care that meets the needs of your loved one.
