Core Values

At HHA, we believe in treating everyone---residents, families and coworkers—with dignity and respect. Our employees often say that their coworkers and the residents are like a family, and that’s the type of environment we foster. Our leaders don’t reside in a corporate office. Instead, they are on site, walking the halls and staying in touch with day-to-day events. We are also involved in our community. How do we create a family-like environment that embraces compassion and care? It’s by adhering to our core values of:

• Loving Care with Respect
• Expect Excellence
• Service with a Smile
• Better Together
• Do The Right Thing

We expect all our employees to embrace these values with every interaction. Through these interactions, we are able to help families move out of their role as caregivers and back into their roles of son, daughter, or spouse. While we offer competitive pay, at HHA, it’s about more than just getting a paycheck. It’s about transforming lives through dignity and respect. That’s why we realize the importance of quality long-term care. If you’re ready to change the lives of others and embrace our core values, we’d love to welcome you to our family.
