Elderhaven's Mission is to provide honest, Christian love and dedication to the elderly who are entrusted to our care. We believe our first responsibility is to the residents who live with us in our home as part of our extended family.

Through our long-term commitment to this mission, we have become known as “A Care Home That Really Cares”. Elderhaven offers sympathy, hope, and love to many who are nearing the end of life’s journey. Elderhaven exists to provide assisted living services in an environment that recognizes the whole health of the individual. Spiritual reinforcement of the Christian principles of worship, study of the Bible, encouragement and mutuality are integrated into the daily weekly and monthly routines of basic care of the residents who call Elderhaven home.

It is the dream of Elderhaven that residents welcomed into our extended family regardless of financial need. Tax exempt status has been obtained so that donations can be raised from the public and the Christian religious community to both keep the costs of residency reasonable and to establish designated benefit funds into which community based organizations may contribute for needy elder care candidates.

The Adult Care Home is not a nursing home, it is not a medical facility, and there is no physician on duty. The care givers are trained in proper procedures and deal with problems as they arise. The adult care home conducts business on a personal level with the resident. The resident is encouraged to be an individual and to interact with the others in the home. When possible, the residents are encouraged to enjoy any activities that may be available and feasible. This helps to insure that the person still feels like a person and has self esteem and self confidence.

In the Tucson area, the adult care homes generally support each other. This interaction was instrumental in gaining recognition and licensure from the Arizona State Department of Health Services. The Council of Adult Care Homes meets regularly with representatives of the department to keep up to date on regulations and changes. The overall intent of the operators is to give their elderly residents the best care and quality of life possible under their circumstances, and to give them a feeling of self worth, which may sometimes be lost in the advancement of age and disability.
