Assisted Living

Dignitas is more than our name. It is our philosophy. This Latin term refers to one's personal dignity and esteem in the community. At Dignitas, Inc., our mission is to restore a personal sense of worth and independence to person's with acquired brain injury and spinal cord injuries. Our goal is to maximize the functioning of each resident's capability and condition. Self-care and daily living skills are promoted through on-going guidance in the areas of dressing, grooming, kitchen use, home management, meal preparation, house cleaning, home maintenance, laundry, budgeting, banking, socialization, recreational, physical condition, health restoration, and the use of all community resources. Transportation is provided to facilitate each resident's assessment plan requirements.

An individualized plan is formulated and implemented with input from the resident, family treating physician, rehabilitation nurse, dietician, recreational therapist, psychologist and members of the team providing care. Each resident's care plan identifies a team of service providers, which might include Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech Therapy, physical rehabilitation physician, neurologists, psychiatrists, neuro-psychology, behavioral specialists, and attendant care providers.
