Our Care Philosophy
Well-being is more than just physical health. It is about the whole person—mind, body and spirit. At Notre Dame Health Care, we are committed to promoting physical, spiritual, intellectual, environmental, and social wellness through a range of holistic and diverse programs that enrich and enhance lives, encourage socialization, and provide meaning and purpose.
Thrive. Live longer. Live better.
At Notre Dame Health Care, we are committed to providing residents and staff with opportunities that enrich and enhance their well-being. Wellness is a philosophy that permeates each program on the campus as an active part of what we do and who we are. For us, the essential dimensions of wellness include the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical, social, and environmental aspects of being. To help residents be “well,” we offer many opportunities to engage in each of these dimensions.
