Participants
do not attend our programs for five days a week because they are
bored (although our programs definitely prevent that!), but because
they require DAILY healthcare interventions and assistance with
toileting, ambulating, eating, many routine daily activities, and
supervision. Limiting their services to three days per week will
certainly land many folks in institutions long before they or their
families are ready. So here is our proposal: Let's just say, "Not
my grandma!" We are creating a scholarship fund specifically to
help our participants who are at greatest risk for nursing home
placement. These are the poorest and frailest we serve, many with
severe Alzheimer's disease, paralysis, Parkinson's disease and so
on… They need your help. Sponsor a Participant will allow you to
ensure these very real, very frail people continue coming to our
program, living with their families, and maintaining their independence
and dignity.
One
day of Adult Day Health Care
is reimbursed by Medi-Cal at a rate of $76.50
You can choose
to Sponsor a Participant at whatever amount is comfortable for you.
We can set up an automatic monthly contribution through your Visa,
MasterCard, or bank-it's up to you. You can make a donation through
PayPal or you can send a check. Better yet, come by to drop off
your donation and meet some of the lovely people you will be helping.
You will be their lifeline!
We are currently
serving 108 participants and their families. Of those 108, 30 come
five days per week and 12 come four days per week. This means we
are looking to cover 72 days of attendance per week. With just 288
supporters covering one day each month, we can continue complete
and uninterrupted services to our participants. Together we can
do this!
