Our Philosophy

The Vicarage by the Sea:

Was founded on the belief that every human being deserves the opportunity to grow, regardless of age or ailment.

The Vicarage provides genuine care based on a psychosocial model, as opposed to a medical, institutional model of care.

“Genuine care requires us to recognize within each beating heart the need to grow, within each weakened limb the yearning for action, within each mind the desire to do as well as be (W. Thomas). "

The Vicarage seeks to enrich the quality of life of each individual, offering a holistic environment which encompasses elders, their families, the community, and the natural world around us.

"True care" allows each person the opportunity to thrive. The Vicarage seeks to provide a vibrant environment in which all individuals are encouraged to grow and flourish.
