Known by name.
Cared for like family.
Behind each of our 17 community front doors across Minnesota and Wisconsin is a team of caregivers, nurses, and home leadership who treat the home as their own. VitaCare Living is not one large building with a staff. It is a collection of small homes, and in each one the team is part of the household.
Seven attributes. One standard.
Every VitaCare team member is held to the same seven attributes. Each carries a specific commitment to the residents and families we serve.
Extreme Ownership
We choose how we respond to life.
Our commitment: every team member is accountable for the resident in front of them, not only for the task assigned to them. When something needs attention, the person who notices it takes responsibility for it.
Resourcefulness
Be a problem solver.
Our commitment: a resident’s request is treated as something to be accomplished, not something to be explained away. When a resident can no longer do something for themselves, the team finds a way to see it done.
Big Why
We are here for others.
Our commitment: care is organized around the individual resident, their history, their preferences, and their goals, rather than around the convenience of a schedule.
Growth
We make each other better every day.
Our commitment: continued training and coaching keep the team’s skills in step with each resident’s changing needs, and good ideas are welcomed regardless of tenure.
Humility
It’s about WHAT is right, not WHO is right.
Our commitment: decisions are made on their merits. Residents and families are regarded as the experts on their own lives, and their input shapes the plan of care.
Reliability
Be trustworthy.
Our commitment: commitments made to residents and families are kept, and concerns are communicated promptly and candidly.
Gratitude
Count your blessings.
Our commitment: serving residents at this stage of life is regarded as a privilege, and the atmosphere of each home reflects it.
For residents and for families
For residents
- A true home, not an institution: smaller, home-like settings with high staff-to-resident ratios.
- Consistent, familiar caregivers who know each resident by name, story, and preference.
- An individualized resident care plan, reviewed as needs change.
- Days with purpose: daily activities, shared meals, and the company of a close community.
For families
- Direct access to the people who provide the care, not a call center.
- Prompt, candid communication when circumstances change.
- Homes thoughtfully placed near healthcare facilities, with on-call nursing support around the clock.
- Licensed care teams, with memory and dementia care available at most homes.
