Core Values

Legend Senior Living applies fundamental values and principles to daily decisions and long-term strategy. Our Core Values form the foundation of our company character and culture. They establish the foundation and basis for our Philosophy of Care and guide team members in executing our Pillars of Practice, knowing that the quality of our work is measured in quality of services as well as the sense of well-being we provide.

These Core Values are the foundation for individual decisions made by team members:

Stewardship - manage money and resources with wisdom and integrity.
Servanthood - deference to my own needs and wants in order to meet the needs of others.
Caring - A commitment from the heart demonstrated through empathizing with and extending personal interest in the personal, individual needs, weaknesses, and feelings of those we serve.
Attitude - The positive manner and perspective used in approaching issues and decisions and situations. Demonstrating a positive attitude and approach in the workplace and particularly when addressing residents, families, and co-workers.
Teamwork - Deferring my personal wants to work as a team gives us the opportunity to utilize all the talents as a group and to realize the uniqueness of each one.
Creativity - A conscious effort and willingness to see things differently, to break out of habits and outdated thought to find new ways of thinking, doing, and being. Recognizing that improvement requires my flexibility and involves change from time to time.
Integrity - Working hard, keeping promises, sharing success. Above all, honesty. Showing respect, fairness, and consideration of others. Following the respective authoritative governing rule. Integrity does what is honest and right according to other shared values even when it is not convenient, easy, or even visible.
Individual development - Taking the initiative to improve oneself by broadening one's knowledge and skills in order to bring the best possible to Legend™. This often involves changing the way I do things in order to benefit through the sharing and implementation of best practices.
Responsibility - The willingness to acknowledge responsibility to others, and the willingness to fully accept responsibility for one's actions and the implication that may result.
Productivity - Maximizing my personal output without increased resources or compromising quality. A willingness to pursue new and more efficient methods of doing my work and helping the team. A willingness to be monitored and measured according to my peers.
