The mission of Aspen Healthcare Services is to provide compassionate quality care meeting the comprehensive needs of the patient whose care can be safely and effectively managed in the home care environment without regard to race, sex, religion, or age. This will allow us to contribute, promote, preserve, and protect the health and well-being of persons in the broader community.

PHILOSOPHY

The philosophy of Aspen Healthcare Services reflects the vision and values of the organization. We support an environment that promotes quality home health care and emphasizes the following key principles. We believe:

  • The needs of our patients and families should guide our patient care regardless of race, color, creed, age or financial status.
  • Home health care for each patient and family is the best health care possible and should be individualized, compassionate, and culturally appropriate.
  • Collaboration is encouraged with patients, families and other health team members to plan and provide home health care that will achieve an optimal level of health and wellness.
  • Holistic, coordinated, and effective patient care is based on scientific and ethical principles, research findings, cultural understanding and experienced-based intuition.
  • Excellence in nursing or therapy practice is achieved through a shared governance approach that promotes the involvement of the professional nurse and/or therapies to advocate for the patient in clinical and organizational decision-making.
  • In creating a work climate for clinical staff that nurtures and supports clinical expertise, education, shared governance and research, fostering the recruitment and retention of staff who demonstrate the highest integrity, competence, and qualifications.
  • In fostering an environment that promotes respect, positive communication and collaboration among all members of the patient/family/healthcare team.
  • In dedication to serving the Dallas/Ft. Worth and surrounding areas in the state of Texas and also to those who come to us for care honoring their unique and diverse needs.
