Our Impact
Friends works to increase awareness of how adult day services provide an alternative to institutional care—keeping people where they most want to be: in their own homes and communities.
Our Impact
Friends of ADHC fundraise throughout the year in order to ensure maximum donations possible to offset the loss from insufficient insurer reimbursement for ADHC. Here are some examples of our impact.
95%
Friends of ADHC provides quarterly donations to enhance services and ensure no participant goes without vital care. With 95% of participants depending on Medi-Cal, the Center serves some of the most vulnerable members of our community.
$250,000
Friends of ADHC has contributed $250,000 to the Sagewood Center Capital Campaign. These funds will support an expanded program and new building scheduled to open in 2027.
Four Buses & Vans
Friends of ADHC has partnered with the Woodland Health Foundation, Agency on Aging Area 4 and other grant funders to purchase and share the cost of four buses and vans for the center.
Two Remodels
Friends of ADHC has funded two building remodels. Renovations included the construction of an enclosed patio, a refreshed lobby, an updated kitchen, and a new roof.
Nurse Navigator
Friends of ADHC has funded a pilot RN nurse navigator position to manage and improve outcomes in complex patients. The program was found to prevent ER visits, hospitalization and nursing home placement, and improved health indicators
Therapeutic Garden
Friends of ADHC is working towards funding 100% of a large accessible Therapeutic Garden. Participants will be able to enjoy the benefits of nature and gardening that will be visable from the main rooms.
