Philosophy
Legacy Home Healthcare Services is a direct provider of home health services. We are committed to managing our resources to provide quality, cost-effective home health care services to meet the needs and improve the health status of individuals, families, and communities that we serve. Our philosophy is grounded in the principle of human dignity and community-based home health care services. These principles arise from an understanding of human beings as whole persons in light of their relationship to God, themselves, their families and the society in which they live. Through our actions we affirm these principles:

• We believe each person is created in the image of God.
• We respect, include, and serve people without regard to race, religion, age, disability, gender, sexual orientation or socio-economic status.
• We extend our concern for the whole person to our patients, employees, physicians, and their families.
• We are guided by the principles of justice in addressing our social responsibility as a corporate citizen in this community.
• We believe in effective collaboration with those individuals and entities interested in addressing the health care needs of our region.

Our dedication to quality home health care services is directed by a commitment to excellence, caring and compassion. It is through living out our values that we actualize our mission and philosophy.
