WHY WE NEED PHILANTHROPIC SUPPORT Almost 85% of our clientele are low-income individuals who are on Medicaid or Medicare. Oftentimes, the daily rate paid by the Medicaid / Medicare systems does not cover the costs of providing Quality Care. Usually, only the basics of resident care are covered and it doesn't include the full cost of providing Quality Care, purchasing much needed equipment, upgrades in our present patient care facilities such as painting, carpeting, furnishing, etc., and the costs of providing Special Social Model Programs offering Quality of Life. Funding of these vital areas presents a challenge to us. WHY FUND-RAISING? Fund-raising helps cover the difference between our costs and the reimbursement we receive, and to cover costs of Special Services and Programs which we provide that are not covered by the Medicaid / Medicare benefit. WHY YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS MAKE A WONDERFUL DIFFERENCE It is only through the generosity of our donors that Family Health West can acquire much needed vital equipment, remodel, upgrade or expand our facilities, and continue to develop State-of-the-Art Programs that offer Quality of Care to our "Community and Deserving Elderly." Family Health West relies on and seeks community involvement to raise funds from individuals, businesses, service clubs, organizations, foundations, and from patients, their families and friends. VARIOUS WAYS YOU CAN HELP US Give a Contribution - Whether you wish to give twenty dollars or thousands, your gift will be "Appreciated." Please consider Family Health West as a worthy recipient of your generous contribution. Charitable Gifts can be made in a number of forms. All Gifts Help Ensure the Future of Family Health West and your Contribution is Tax-deductible.

We use a
Social Model
approach to patient care. In 1997, we opened the doors to the
Main Street Experience - A Social Model for Alzheimer's and Elder Care.
This model offers a Family Environment that enhances the
Quality of Life of our patients. The Social Concept is based
on the positives, focusing on wellness, enhancing the environment
to assist each patient to maintain or improve and to prevent
unnecessary rapid decline in functioning - ultimately providing a
Higher Quality of Life and Dignity. We continue to design and
implement new State-of-the-Art Programs to provide Quality
Care to individuals of all ages and the elderly in our community.
