CORE VALUES

HOSPITALITY

Our belief is that each home should provide a welcoming, person-centered environment and atmosphere or a "Home". Personal warmth, love and care will reflect and give value and purpose to the residents' lives. The holistic care of each resident encompasses their physical, social, psychological, emotional and spiritual needs. Guided by our Catholic tradition we seek to honor the spiritual journeys of all people of all faiths.

SANCTITY OF LIFE

Our belief is that all life is sacred and we advocate especially on behalf of the elderly. We are committed to witness to the gospel message of Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. Acknowledging the importance of palliative care, our healing ministry does recognize that sickness, suffering and death are potential occasions of experiencing God.

COMPASSION

Our belief is that each person is created in the image of God as an object of His personal love, and as such we are to bring hope, healing and comfort to all we encounter in our ministry. In the words of Venerable Mary Angeline Teresa, we strive to be "kinder than kindness itself."

SHARED COMMITMENT

Our belief is that quality of care is attained by a team spirit that has a shared sense of achievement, accountability, ideas, insights and the commitment to the wise stewardship of resources. Treating one another respectfully and justly, and joining together for our common Mission, will enable us.

What Families Are Saying

"I cannot say enough good things about Carmel Manor (Carmel) in Ft. Thomas, Kentucky since my sister became a resident after an extensive process of exploration and vetting of other home-like living arrangements. What stands out, and most importantly, is the caring staff who treat her with dignity and respect, who greet her with a smile, who engage her so that her needs are met, and who self-initiate updates to me by phone and in person. The outstanding around the clock care (24/7), supplemented by an array of other healthcare providers, and community activity offerings, makes Carmel a place residents can readily call home and experience a healthy, happy life.

The residential exterior appearance and physical environment-beautiful trees, plants, and landscape-adds to the well-being of residents since it is not in a retail/hospital setting. Its setting, too, from a hilltop high above the Ohio River provides residents wonderful vistas of the water, boats, barges, and natural river environment which is emotionally uplifting.

Carmel is a special place, a place that gives much to others in many important ways and without much, if any, fane fare. It lives its mission to care and embraces its core values always remembering the Carmelite Sisters’ motto, “The Difference is Love.”
