Mission Statement

Preamble

Benjamin Healthcare center, located atop Mission Hill, is a long-term health care organization, which services the greater Boston community. Attorney Edgar Benjamin, a black man, founded Resthaven in 1927 and donated it to the community as a charitable corporation dedicated to: "providing a home or shelter for and to otherwise assist all people without regard to race, creed or color." Today, Benjamin Healthcare center continues this proud tradition and remains a leader in its service to culturally diverse populations.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide the highest quality health care for our residents, and to provide employment and educational opportunities for those who care for them.

Philosophy

We view each person as an integrated whole, embracing many roles include the person as an individual and a member of the community. We believe that persons should be treated with dignity and respect; that each person has a unique potential for growth and development.

Health is more than the absence of disease; it is the enjoyment of physical, emotional, and spiritual fitness. We believe that persons can enjoy the spirit of health, despite the presence of illness. We promote this experience of well-being.

Benjamin Healthcare center provides health care for residents through an interdisciplinary team approach. We advocate for residents when they are unable to do so for themselves. We believe that the quality of care should be measured by the highest professional standards. Further, we hold that the delivery of this care is best realized through excellence, compassion, and caring; planned in collaboration with our residents and their families.
