Who Are We? We are a group of 3 volunteers who have purchased a wheel
chair accessible bus to take residents who are confined to a nursing home out
for recreational activities-empowering body, mind, and SPIRIT!
Why Are We Needed?
40,000 people are
cared for by GA nursing homes annually. While there are govt. programs and
private insurance to ensure the physical and medical needs of these patients,
who provides their mental and emotional needs? Continuous govt. cutbacks in
Medicare and Medicaid prevent nursing homes from expanding their current
programs. Can you imagine being confined to a nursing home with no way to go to
the park, out to lunch or just to the store? There is no affordable
transportation in the community to provide such an important need-UNTIL NOW!
Improving the patient’s quality of life is an ongoing effort between
facilities, volunteers, activity directors, and the Georgia Nursing Home
Association (advocates for the elderly). We believe activities outside the
facility not only benefit the residents, but families as well (for those who
have families). We NEED your help to continue this service.
