JANUARY THIRD THURSDAY COMMUNITY FORUM CANCELLED
Welcome to our Western Washington winter!! Just measured 11.5 inches of snow at the deepest point in my yard in Longbranch, and a 19 inch snow curb across my driveway, deposited quite evenly by the snowplow...call me wimpy, but I sincerely doubt that anyone will want to head to Key Center tomorrow morning for our program, even if it rains all night. Let's re-schedule this one for Spring. Thanks to all who planned to attend. Hold that thought!- - Edie 1/18/12
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
