Culture & Inclusion
Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) Statement
Our promise at Sequoia Living is always to be a safe place for people to be who they are.
We are committed to fostering an environment where all individuals are welcomed, valued, and respected.
We believe in inclusion, not exclusion.
How DEIB Connects to Our Mission
Sequoia Living’s mission is to provide homes and services for healthy and joyful aging for people of all cultures, races, ethnicities, genders, abilities, faiths, identities, backgrounds, and walks of life. While we may be a small voice in a very big conversation, we will step up, show up, and speak up.
We have long lived the values of inclusion. We will continue to listen, learn, and work together to end the prejudices that have had such devastating effects on society as well as the people we see each day in our communities and service locations. Whether they are a resident, a staff member, a contractor, or a customer, everyone is valued. Every person who walks through our doors enriches us.
They are family.
They are friends.
They are part of our community.
They make us better.
YOU make us better.
HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMITMENT
We are committed to the health and safety of our staff and residents. Because of this staff may be required to undergo pre-employment drug testing, background screening, physical screening, TB tests, and Covid-19 tests. In addition, we strongly prefer that all staff receive annual vaccinations against communicable illnesses, including, but not limited to flu and Covid-19.
