CORE VALUES

Excellence

We are committed to excellence in all we do and in every service we provide throughout our continuum. Our passion for excellence is resolute, from the most complex health care we provide residents to the most unassuming details in our physical surroundings. We design, build and maintain our campus to the highest standards. We strive to provide a quality work environment that encourages and rewards staff for their dedication to our mission. At Westminster Village North, “good enough” is not good enough.

Integrity

We model strict standards of moral and ethical principles in every interaction with residents, families, staff, partners and volunteers, and are uncompromising in our promise to be fair, honest and authentic in exercising our responsibilities to enhance the mental, physical and spiritual well-being of our residents. We respect and reinforce the individuality of each person, and are truthful and trustworthy in performing our responsibilities. At Westminster Village North, we believe in doing “the right thing, because it is the right thing.”

Compassion

We value our residents, families, staff, partners and volunteers, and recognize the dignity and right to self-determination of each person. Empathy, inclusiveness and service add meaning and purpose to our lives, and we strive to listen, understand, and support those for whom and with whom we work. At Westminster Village North, we endeavor to “walk in the shoes” of the other, to enhance and enrich that person’s journey through life.

Stewardship

We fulfill our nonprofit mission by growing and maintaining all of the resources entrusted to us – human, physical and financial. We deeply believe that we are accountable for how those resources are used and invested. Being disciplined, inspiring innovation, and providing the highest quality of care are key components of our stewardship. At Westminster Village North, we honor our obligation to ensure the future of the community for generations to come.

Our History

Westminster Village North is set on the site of the Sunnyside Tuberculosis Sanatorium  which opened in 1917 as an outgrowth of Wishard’s pulmonary department. In 1918, an open air school opened on the site. In 1969, due to changes in treatment and a reduction in the incidence of TB, the hospital closed. A few years later, the property was purchased by the Presbyterian Church who converted the property to a senior community.  When the church divested themselves of their retirement communities, Westminster Village North became an independent, nondenominational retirement community.

In the forty-plus years since that time, Westminster Village North has developed many new offerings for seniors – including Tamarack, the independent living apartment building; Laurel Commons, a state-of-the-art assisted living community; the health center which includes 148 beds; and many beautiful homes. The community has blended historic and new buildings while maintaining the beautiful garden-like grounds of the community.

Leadership Team

Our dedicated leadership team is committed to maintaining the highest standards and ensuring that Westminster Village North is a community where residents can truly thrive.
