Our Philosophy of Family Centered Care
It’s About You
We know that moving into the Porter McGrath Health Center is a big move and want you to know that you are still very much in control of your life.
You… can decorate your room any way you like with your own furniture, pictures and books.
You… can eat what you want, when you want it.
You…can do as much – or as little – as you feel like on any given day.
Your life can be as full and individualized as you are.
Unique Neighborhoods
Each neighborhood is unique. We establish a sense of belonging by cultivating resident-to-resident and staff-to-resident relationships.
Leisure Programs of Choice
Each day residents choose what to do – whether individual or group: scheduled or spontaneous; educational or recreational.
Dining Venues
Residents choose what they eat. They have a variety of food choices each meal, and may choose to eat with the neighborhood, the community or order take-out for home delivery or garden dining.
Personal Preferences
Our Life Coach meets with each resident and their family to understand their preferences and routines. We strive to maintain residents’ lifestyle choices.
Personal Accommodations
Residents are encouraged to make their living space their own. They bring furniture, paintings, pictures and other items that make them feel at home.
Personal Growth
Residents help others learn skills from a variety of programs. Community Friends Unlimited (CFU) offers opportunities to volunteer and build relationships within our community.
Do What You Like To Do
There is a lot going on at Florida Presbyterian Homes – from concerts and swimming to knitting and quilting to day trips and visits from church groups. You can continue your education by attending lectures or using the library. Keep up with your grandchildren by playing virtual golf, tennis or other games. Or, you may just want to relax in the garden and read a good book. Our Life Coach wants to learn about you and what you would like to do. If you have always wanted to paint, here’s your chance. We want to get a feel for your lifestyle, habits, and interests and talk about the choices you have. And we’ll help you get involved.
