Description

PHILOSOPHY

Simply put, the purpose of The Village Langley, and all those who work here, is to enable the well-being of those we serve.

The Village aspires to be much more than a community that supports and cares for people living with a dementia diagnosis.

We strive to be a place where, through the dedicated service of our team members, each Resident has an enriched living experience and lives their own best life, each-and-every day.

The role of a Village team member is to facilitate an enriched living experience for each Villager by fostering and nurturing relationships; enabling Villagers to control and manage their day; enabling feelings of safety, security & connectedness to people and things that matter to each person; establishing trusting relationships with families; enabling learning of new things and making meaningful contributions within The Village and surrounding communities.

Our success is largely determined by the amount of joy, love and laughter experienced by each of those we serve - Villagers, staff, volunteers and local community.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

The primary role of a Household Leader is to empower each Villager to achieve and sustain health and well-being, live life to the fullest, flourish and thrive, regardless of cognitive or physical limitations.

This is achieved through the organization of Resident health care and hospitality services in accordance with the requirements of registered Assisted Living and licensed Complex Care in British Columbia.

A Village Household Leader is a role like no other.
