Elderly

Purpose

Elderly men and women frequently express a desire for basic companionship or the need for assistance, but prefer not to impose on family members. Concerned family members may be forced to acknowledge that it has become increasingly difficult for loved ones to take care of themselves and their homes. Summer Gardens will provide needed services to adults 60 years of age and older who require assistance to remain safely independent.

Summer Gardens will comply with all licensure and Title 22 requirements. The facility will focus on providing services which promote independence in a safe and pleasant environment. As the elderly struggle to stay out of nursing homes and hospitals, they seek help with food preparation, laundry, and housekeeping. As an alternative to nursing home placement, Summer Gardens will provide housing and assistance to its residents, including meal preparation (general and special diets), laundry, linen, housekeeping, and personal care. Appropriate staff will assist in recreational activities. Staff will also arrange physician appointments and coordinate transportation.

Mission

“Service Them Well”

Goal

The goal of K’Rageous Kid’s Koalition is to enable each student to function productively within the family, school and community. The main objective of “K’Rageous Kid’s Koalition” is saving our Children and taking back our communities by providing our students with the keys to self empowerment and hope.

Vision

The program will address Black on Black violence and “Thug” living and the ideology that associates this with black male masculinity. The students will learn about cultural genocide and the impact this has had on society and how it relates to “thug” living.

It will also serve to service those who have repeated behaviorally infractions. Students who have difficulty complying with school rules will be given mandatory participation as an alternative to suspension. This program will serve to aid and to create a strong awareness to help our students get a better understand of the legacy that they hold before them. At some point, the students will take a post survey to compare how they have grown from before and where they are now.

The Ultimate Objective!

“It’s all about the payoff”

The students will learn about the “Rise to Greatness” were they will be asked to do something in their community to impact change. The students will learn not just to understand a problem but to be proactive in creating a solution. They will also learn the following “K’Rageous Kid’s Koalition” values are:
