Background
The Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) Senior Day Care Program is designed to meet the needs of adults who are homebound or isolated due to a stroke, Alzheimer's disease, or other debilitating mental or physical condition. The Senior Day Care Center provides its participants with enriching educational, therapeutic, and social experiences outside the home and offers respite for caregivers. The County has operated the Senior Day Care Program in Placerville since 1989 and, on June 24, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved the implementation of a Senior Day Care satellite site in El Dorado Hills.
The donation in the amount of $3,000 from the Monday Club of Placerville was donated for Senior Day Care services and is not specific to either Senior Day Care site. Friends of El Dorado County Seniors has donated two iPods, a laptop, and a projector for use at both Senior Day Care sites.
The miscellaneous items generously donated by Ms. Deborah VanderPol have a total estimated value of $1,536 and include the following:
1) One digital camera bundle
2) Two food processors
3) One Kitchen Aid mixer
4) One stereo system
5) Two 40-cup coffee urns
6) One weight scale
Additionally, Drive Medical of Ontario CA generously donated two wheelchairs and two walking frames for use at the new El Dorado Hills Senior Day Care site.
Reason for Recommendation
Approval will allow HHSA to use these donations to support the County's Senior Day Care Program operations.
