Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Construction of a 10,000 square foot facility which will serve approximately 150 senior citizens 60 years and older in the Town N' Country area of Hillsborough County in a day care setting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Services Provided/Benefit to State:

 

 

 

 

 

Hillsborough County does not have a facility in the Town N' Country area to serve the ever increasing numbers of senior citizens living in that area.  To accommodate the needs of clients whose increasing frailty leads to more health oriented care (such as on site personal care to serve incontinent clients) and to expand services to meet the increased demand for day care, day health and congregate and home delivered meals, a new facility is required.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

Hillsborough County is projecting an increase of 16% in the 60+ population over the next four years. With this increase will come an increase in the demand for affordable community-based services.  Adult day care costs range from $12,906 to $20,592 per year versus nursing home costs of $32,040 to $49,840 per year resulting in an annual savings of $11,448 to $36,934 per client.
