Residential Care Programs
The Yukon residential care programs are driven by the home philosophy of care:
- We are a community that respects and promotes dignity, individual freedom, choice and lifestyle, and meaningful quality living.
- We continually strive to create a feeling of home and belonging for all who live here by being responsive to the uniqueness of each resident.
