About Us
Mission Statement
Each resident comes to Bronx Park with unique life experiences, values, attitudes, and desires, and a singular combination of clinical and psychological needs. In order to assure the highest practicable quality of life, the individuality of the Resident must be recognized, and the exercise of self-determination protected and prompted by the operator and staff of the facility. The physical environment, care policies and staff behavior, must at once acknowledge the dependence of the Resident while fostering their highest possible level of independence.
In addition to the emphasis on the individuality and self-determination, Bronx Park should be viewed as a home as much as a medical institution, with the Resident’s psychological needs deserving a prominence at least equal to their medical condition. Clinical interventions for each resident must be part of the comprehensive planned approach, rather than through physician-directed acute care orientation.
The facility shall provide residents with considerate and respectful care designated to promote each resident’s independence and dignity in the least restrictive environment, commensurate with their preferences and physical and mental status.
