About OPRS: Health & Wellness Policy
|
 Aging touches each and every
one
of us.
Ohio Presbyterian Retirement Services (OPRS)
believes that health education, social
mobilization and advocacy can modify
human lifestyles and create supportive
environments to enable individuals to
make healthy choices. Health and
wellness services are offered at each
level of care in our organization: home
and community-based services; apartment
and villa living; assisted living;
special care and health care. We believe
that maintenance and improvement of
physical function is primary to the
health and wellness of our residents. In
each setting, we are committed to
maximizing independence through
risk-screening, health education,
fitness programming, restorative and
rehabilitative services. We also believe
in palliative care for those who are
facing unalterable health issues.
We believe that each person has the
right to privacy, dignity, information
and choice when making care and service
decisions. We strive to honor personal
wishes and encourage and support the
participation of family members and
friends as they provide their unique
contribution to the individual's quality
of life.
We believe in a care management approach
to assist those we serve meet their
changing health challenges through
assessment of needs, linkage with
services, and continuous monitoring and
revision of the service plan. Through
donations to the
OPRS Foundation,
our residents receive the most
appropriate level of care regardless of
ability to pay or the availability of
third-party reimbursement.
We continually balance the
often-conflicting concepts of safety and
autonomy. Where regulations permit, we
negotiate risk with individuals who are
able to make rational decisions and
understand the consequences of their
actions. At the same time, we keep in
mind our corporate risks and
responsibilities regarding the safety of
the individual and those around them.
We believe that quality services can
only be obtained through committed,
capable and caring employees. The goal
of OPRS is to be the best place to work
as well as the best place to live. We
offer our employees programs and
services to encourage them to meet their
own health and wellness needs, as well
as opportunities to continue their
professional and personal development.
