Independent Living at Saxony Village

Our Values:

We value SERVICE. We approach every day with a servant's heart to do all we can for those in our care, and to lead others through service.

We value DIGNITY. In full conviction that every human being deserves respect and love, we ensure each resident is treated with warmth and compassion while maintaining their dignity and personal identity.
We value FULFILLMENT. Understandy that quality of life is directly related to self-worth and self-actualization, we relentlessly pursue ways to help others live full and fulfilled lives at every stage of life.
We value GRACE. Knowing the grace God has bestowed on all people through the forgiveness of sin, we extend grace to one another by our words, deeds and actions in extension of that gift.
We value STEWARDSHIP. As a not-for-profit organization serving our community, we practice stewardship and discipline with our resources, making strategic decisions that support our vision.
