SUNBEAM FAMILY SERVICES IS SEEKING CONTINUED FUNDING FOR ITS SENIOR COMPANION PROGRAM, WHICH EXPECTS TO HAVE AN ESTIMATED 105 SENIOR COMPANION VOLUNTEERS NEXT YEAR. SUNBEAM?S SENIOR COMPANION PROGRAM PROVIDES QUALITY, IN-HOME SUPPORT TO NEARLY 250 OKLAHOMA SENIORS EACH YEAR THROUGH COMPANIONSHIP AND STIPEND VOLUNTEERISM. THE SENIOR COMPANION PROGRAM FOCUSES ON AGING IN PLACE OUTCOMES AS DOCUMENTED IN OUR WORK PLANS. WE CONNECT SENIOR VOLUNTEERS WITH SENIOR CLIENTS WHO ARE HOMEBOUND, DUE TO ILLNESS OR AGE, AND IN NEED OF SUPPORT TO LIVE IN THEIR OWN HOME LONGER. SUPPORTIVE SERVICES PROVIDED BY SENIOR COMPANION VOLUNTEERS CAN INCLUDE LIGHT HOUSEKEEPING, PLAYING GAMES, AND TALKING WITH THE CLIENT. THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THIS DUAL-PURPOSE PROGRAM IS TO INCREASE HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR SENIOR COMPANION VOLUNTEERS, BY KEEPING THEM ACTIVE AND ENGAGED IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITY, AND FOR THE SENIOR CLIENT, BY DECREASING ISOLATION AND DELAYING A MOVE TO COSTLY INSTITUTIONALIZED LIVING. SUNBEAM IS DEDICATED TO PROVIDING THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF CARE FOR THOSE THAT PAVED A WAY FOR CURRENT GENERATIONS. OUR NATIONALLY ACCREDITED PROGRAM HAS A STRONG TRADITION OF BEING ON THE LEADING EDGE OF INNOVATION FOR SENIOR SERVICES. SUNBEAM'S SENIOR COMPANION PROGRAM BEGAN IN 1974 AS ONE OF CNCS?S 18 PILOT PROGRAMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE PROGRAM REMAINS AN INTEGRAL PART OF SUNBEAM'S PROGRAMMING AND PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE IN THE CONTINUUM OF CARE AVAILABLE TO SENIORS IN THE OKLAHOMA CITY AREA. THE SENIOR COMPANION PROGRAM CONTINUES TO STAY ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF BEST PRACTICES FOR KEEPING SENIORS IN THEIR HOMES AND STAFF SERVE ON VARIOUS ADVISORY PANELS AND COMMITTEES AS A RESOURCE FOR LOCAL PROFESSIONAL AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS LOOKING TO IMPACT SENIORS. WE GRATEFULLY REQUEST $416,143 FROM THE CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE (CNCS) FOR OUR SENIOR COMPANION PROGRAM. THIS FEDERAL INVESTMENT FROM CNCS WILL BE SUPPLEMENTED BY $235,999 FROM OTHER PRIVATE AND PUBLIC FUNDERS.
