Philosophy of Ruidoso Home Care

Ruidoso Home Care (RHC) subscribes to the concept of health as defined by the World Health Organization as “A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease of infirmity.  The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, sex, disability, political belief, economic, or social condition.”

RHC upholds that each individual has rights and needs that should be recognized and met in ways that are appropriate to the individual and his/her situation.

RHC is committed to cooperative efforts within the community as well as with other health care providers.

RHC respects the rights of the patient and family to make choices and decisions affecting their present and future health status.

RHC affirms the value of life in all of its phases.  The admission criteria will serve as the basis for accepting patients.
