Our Mission:

The work of The Mustard Seed Project is to build an elder-friendly Key Peninsula, by assuring that a full continuum of services and programs is available and affordable, which allows community members to "age in place" with dignity, respect, self-determination and safety.

Our Vision:

A rural community where a full continuum of high quality affordable services and programs will meet the needs of aging neighbors; where the elderly live in their own homes as long as they wish; and senior housing options, including long-term care, are available locally, preserving the richness of this multi-generational community.

Our Values:

Dignity and respect for the individual
Emphasis on wellness and prevention
Support for self-determination and choice
Positive interaction between the generations
Creative problem solving and program development through community dialogue
Collaboration between agencies and service providers
Services and facilities provided in a scale that fits the community need
Economically and ecologically responsible options that fit the rural character and heritage of the community
Provision of needed services to all elderly, regardless of their ability to pay
