Enhancing Care and Support for Aging Adults
Help us kick start our small business! We need to purchase medical equipment such as medical beds, BP machines, and mechanical stand lifts.
Project Description
Company Background: Hello, my name is Monica Portis. I have a vision fueled by 20 years of hands-on experience as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and a deep-rooted passion for serving the geriatric community. My dream is to launch Advocare Adult Day Center (AADC), a safe haven for aging adults and seniors in need of specialized care in a stimulating environment.
Problem: Vulnerable adults including seniors and individuals with disabilities face unique challenges in accessing quality care and support services. Our community lacks sufficient resources to address the complex needs of this population; resulting in inadequate care, social isolation and increase hospital rates due to poor health outcomes.
Funding Utilizations: $16,000 Medical beds; are essential for participants requiring rest and/or medical observation. $2,000 Vital sign machines; required to monitoring health status of our clients. $3,000 Mechanical stand lifts; used to assist staff with safely transferring clients from one area to another. $2,600 Oxygen Concentrators; critical component for members that may have respiratory impairment and require air assistance.
Services: Advocare will provide a comprehensive suite of services designed to meet the unique need of aging adults and individuals with disabilities. Our approach combines medical care, therapeutic activities and social engagement, creating a wholistic experience. Ultimately resulting in enhanced well-being our for members and their families.
