Avenidas rose kleiner center: adult day health care provides transportation, nutrition, recreation, social service, and health services (including nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, dietary and speech therapy) to frail seniors and dependent adults. The Avenidas rose kleiner center had 8,901 days of service provided to 94 unduplicated clients. While open for the full year, there were several covid related closures, staffing challenges, and transportation challenges.
Avenidas village: provides social, supportive, practical and other services to older adult members in support of maintaining their independence in their own homes. The village served 324 members during fy22. Even with the covid-19 pandemic, service and connections continued to be made through remote offerings, resulting in increased numbers served. Village event attendance totaled 4,679 for the year, with a mix of remote and outside, socially distanced activities. Members have been excited to get back to in-person events.
Participant & health services: provides reception, registration, membership to older adults, and facilitates the provision of education, recreation, and social services. We had 9,384 registrations across 290 classes (1,084 class sessions) were provided to 1,589 participants and health and wellness services had 29 services provided as this reopened in late june 2022. With the covid-19 pandemic, program services shifted primarily to remote offerings in march 2020 and this continued through the first half of fy22.
Additional programs including social work (1,547 service units), transportation including deliveries (152 clients), chinese community center (3,947 registrations), senior planet and volunteer services (serving 7,486 hours for participants & clients) and (611 hours) lgbtq seniors services were all provided this year. Services continued in fy22 with a mixture of remote and pre-registered in-person offerings to meet the needs of our participants. With the Avenidas community being at high risk of covid-19 due to age, staff was able to provide and increase the amount of service provision, educational opportunities, programming, and resource management to our participants and the community during the continuing pandemic.
