MISSION STATEMENT (How we operate)
Eliza Jennings is a network of aging services located on the west side of Cleveland. Our flagship home, Eliza Jennings Health Campus was established in 1888 just west of downtown Cleveland. In more recent years our organization has expanded our service lines and community locations, starting with our continuing care retirement community, The Renaissance in Olmsted Township. The Renaissance was established in 1989 and provides services for independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, rehabilitative, and memory care. Our Assisted Living community, Devon Oaks, was established in 2000 in Westlake across from Crocker Park. Eliza Jennings Services was established in 2006 and provides a full range of in-home services for local seniors. And our newest venture, Comfort & Care Hospice was established in 2017.
Eliza Jennings is an independent non-profit organization that provides hands on care for its residents through the end of life. Eliza Jennings is driven by our mission statement:
We affirm the dignity and individual worth of older adults and their right to attain the highest possible quality of life. We strive to nurture and sustain their physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual health. We are committed to having a community in which every member is equally respected, valued, and empowered.
Our vision is to make aging the experience of a lifetime! We help turn this vision into a reality by hiring quality employees that are dedicated to improving the lives of those they serve and follow our person-centered care philosophy. Person-centered care means that we respect, support and promote independence, autonomy, dignity, choice, privacy, and personal fulfillment for all individuals.
