Philosophy

Jaquith Nursing Home will provide services necessary to attain, or maintain, the highest practicable physical, mental and psychological well-being of its residents in a manner and environment that preserves and enhances each resident's dignity and self-respect. JNH strives to provide these services in the least restrictive manner possible and seeks to allow each resident to exercise self-determination in the development of their individual care plan. JNH considers our residents' family members/responsible parties to be our customers as well as important support for our residents. Family members are encouraged to participate in care planning and activities with their loved ones.
