Building Senior Communities dedicated to delivering superior physical, emotional and social health care services in safe, homelike environments sensitive to cultural backgrounds.
Our Project and Why It Matters
Are you prepared to be a Caregiver or Care Receiver? How many times during the past year have you asked yourself this question or even asked for a family member, friend or a loved one?
As we age it is often a very realistic question to ponder. Now imagine if you had to ask yourself, if I am accepted into an assisted living or nursing home community, will the staff know my culture and support me with the dignity, love and compassion I deserve
as an elder of a different culture? Will I be discriminated due to my sexual orientation, religion, race, and etcetera?
By 2030, one out of every four Minnesotans will be over 65. This will be the most diverse population in this age group has ever seen in previous years. Their diversity presents new expectations in senior care that reflects the social and cultural changes
that arguably began in the sixties leading to a new understanding of civil rights, gay rights, elder and health care rights. Senior care facilities to date have not incorporated these facts into their business models or care delivery.
Touching Lives Communities will be exactly that; safe, small communities varying in size to accommodate three to twelve residents. They will be fully secure; ultimately gated properties with creative landscaping that can be culturally specific in design. When
entering through the gates, families may see birdfeeders tended to by residents, ponds, loved-ones on walking paths strolling with pets, and seniors actively tending to their own gardens. It will be a safe, inviting, beautiful outdoor space where people want
to enjoy their days with their friends.
