This mission should be the guide for all of our endeavors, regardless of title, position or department. The service we provide is the true measure of our performance. Whether receiving home care and/or telehealth, we must join in this common mission of service.
Our Values....... This is the Windsor Way
Compassion
Touch gently. Empathetic listening. Acknowledging all people. Pass encouragements. Give hugs. Ease fear and loneliness. Provide inspiration. Chase away despair. Handle with care. Nurture others. Speak kindly and with respect.
Civility
Approachable. Common courtesy. Polite words. Talk to each other. Watch what you say and where you say it. Don’t be easily offended. Use “talking stick” philosophy. Agree to disagree. Personable.
Diligence
Don’t give up. Work smart. Efficiency. Work hard.
Dignity
Call people by name. Make eye contact. Smile. Introduce yourself. Show respect. Knock before you enter. Treat others as they wish to be treated. Seek first to understand, then to be understood. Recognize and compliment others.
Honesty
Tell the truth. Don’t ever cover up. You will not be in trouble for telling the truth.
Humor
Laugh often and have fun but never at someone’s expense. Laugh some more. Observe others’ playfulness. Smile. Don’t take yourself so seriously.
Innovation
Ask the “why?” question. Courageously create better ways of doing. Good enough is never good enough if better is possible. Don’t be afraid of change…change is cool. Encourage new and different ideas. Look beyond your small world to other possibilities.
Integrity
Private performances exceed public performances. Above reproach. Blameless. Ask for help when you need it. Speak well of those not present. Keep promises. Project that which you can expect in return.
Loyalty
Give it first…Then ask for it. Keep confidences. Build trust with others.
Responsiveness
Anticipate. Take initiative. Respond quickly. Help or find help. Practice “Servant Leadership”.
