Our new Horticulture Therapy Program will provide a nature-based intervention to improve physical and mental well-being. Participants will be guided by a therapist in an accessible community garden that will also serve as an outdoor classroom and meeting space.
Social connection for seniors is critical, playing an essential role in their mental, emotional and physical health. In fact, research has shown that social isolation and loneliness is linked to higher risks for a variety of conditions—including high blood pressure, heart disease, anxiety and depression, as well as cognitive decline.
With the fastest-growing age group in the United States being those 85 and older, this is a serious public health risk.
Our CONNECT initiative will help address this expanding crisis by raising $50,000 to purchase senior-friendly tablet computers that can keep people in touch with family, friends, physicians and other caregivers. With this technology, our elders can continue to age in place, in their community.
These devices, called “GrandPads,” are intended to support our Florida PACE (Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) participants. Most PACE participants suffer from several chronic conditions, have limited mobility and are increasingly frail. GrandPads can deliver telehealth to these individuals, while also keeping them socially connected..
Heart failure affects 7.5 million people in the United States, with 50% facing repeated hospitalizations and other serious complications. To address this critical issue, we’ve launched the Healthy Hearts program for participants in our Florida PACE (Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) Center who have experienced heart attack, heart failure, or heart surgery.
Healthy Hearts is dedicated to transforming the lives of seniors in our community through targeted physical and occupational therapy, exercise, and lifestyle change education. Our program is designed to alleviate symptoms, reduce hospitalizations, and prevent readmissions, while helping participants achieve important milestones in mobility and endurance.
We need your support to make this vision a reality. Our REACH initiative is seeking $25,000 for a pilot program designed to make a direct and meaningful impact on the heart health and quality of life for the seniors in our care. Your support will help transform their lives and promote healthier, more active futures.
As the largest provider of healthcare for seniors in the Southeast, safety is of utmost importance. A particular concern is a rise in hate crimes and threats against Jewish organizations, such as ours. Our RENEW initiative seeks to raise $100,000 to proactively safeguard our community against increased physical and cyber threats.
Specifically, a portion of these dollars is intended to meet new federal government recommendations for securing sensitive data against cyber-attacks. RENEW is an opportunity to enhance prevention, protection, response and recovery measures for the optimal safety of our patients, residents, visitors and staff.
