What they reported doing

  1. #1 primary $11K
    WE PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIPS TO RESIDENTS WHOSE ABILITY TO PAY FOR THE COST OF THEIR CARE IS DIMINISHED, AND WHOSE OVERALL FINANCIAL RESOURCES ARE GENERALLY LESS THAN FIFTY PERCIENT (50%) OF THE AVERAGE RESOURCES OF THE GENERAL POPULATION IN THE SURROUNDING AREAS. THE SCHOLARSHIPS ARE BASED ON A FIVE (5) YEAR RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW OF AN APPLICANT'S BANK AND RELATED RECORDS. QUALIFYING APPLICANTS WILL RECEIVE SCHOLARSHIPS THROUGH SUPPORT FROM THE HARRY AND JEANETTE WEINBERG SCHOLARSHIP ENDOWMENT, WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED AND IS MAINTAINED FOR THIS PURPOSE WITH THE DAUGHTERS OF SARAH JEWISH FOUNDATION, INC. THESE SCHOLARSHIPS ENABLE RESIDENTS TO REMAIN IN A CARE SETTING MORE APPROPRIATE TO THEIR PERSONAL NEEDS. WITHOUT SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORT, QUALIFYING RESIDENTS MIGHT OTHERWISE BE COMPELLED TO TRANSFER TO A MORE RESTRICTIVE, MORE EXPENSIVE, AND UNNECESSARY HEALTH CARE SETTING -- BUT ONE THAT IS PAID FOR BY FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS, SUCH AS A NURSING HOME. THE SCHOLARSHIPS ENABLE US TO HELP REDUCE THE BURDEN ON GOVERNMENTAL RESOURCES AND PRESERVE THE DIGNITY AND INDEPENDENCE OF RESIDENTS.

IN THAT CONTEXT, DAUGHTERS HAS BEEN LICENSED BY THE NYS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AS AN ENHANCED ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY, WHICH ENABLES US TO FURTHER ASSIST ELDER RESIDENTS WITH THE CHALLENGES OF DAILY LIVING WITHOUT REQUIRING THEM TO TRANSFER TO MORE EXPENSIVE AND MORE RESTRICTIVE LEVELS OF HEALTH CARE.
