Needs
Yolo Adult Day Health Center, in collaboration with Friends of Adult Day Health Care, Yolo County and Dignity Health, is embarking on the renovation of a new building twice the size of our current site. With a post pandemic growing waiting list, this is sorely needed to continue to provide frail and disabled adults day healthcare services within the community where they belong.
1. Purchase a new state of the art recumbent bicycle to help frail adults regain or maintain strength and improve balance, which will help prevent falls at home. ($8,000)
2. Provide funding for artistic, musical and other therapeutic programs specific to participant's interest and needs. As a person-centered program, the Center's staff strive to ensure a diversity of stimulating opportunities that are of interest to each individual. This includes computers, tablets, entertainers, craft and garden supplies, tools, wood, and much more. ($5,000/year).
3. New tables and chairs for the participants. This furniture needs to be attentive to the functional and social needs of clients to ensure that wheelchairs are easily accommodated, spacing is conducive to Covid-safe socialization, and that the materials used to manufacture are easily sanitized, durable and safe. ($100,000)
4. Create a therapeutic garden in the new building that will feature a pergola, swing, redwood benching and raised garden beds. ($131,000)
