About This Cause
Ingleside Retirement Apartments Ingleside currently operates a HUD Section 236, 15-story high-rise located at 1005 N. Franklin Street. The retirement apartments offer an extensive range of supportive services including the nursing care, computer training, free email, free cable, free long distance telephones, three meals per day, transportation, prescription assistance, exercise therapy, targeted support groups, free flu shots annually, onsite lab and blood work, onsite physical therapy, exercise groups, crafts, bingo, Wii Bowling, arts, cultural and recreational activities and more. Subsidized transportation, housekeeping and meal programs are key strengths that will make this program one of the best models in HUD's portfolio. Two full time resident social workers ensure that resident's needs are met on a daily basis. Over $12 million in funding has been raised by the corporate entity t support this facility since 2003. Over $70,000 in benevolence funding assists seniors to live in this facility who could not otherwise afford the service fee or meals. A successful de-coupling process in 2005 has secured HUD's use of the facility for 40 more years. The current percentage of minorities is 26%. IRA provided 69,700 days of shelter during 2011 and 163,155 meals to the seniors. Ingleside Assisted Living In October 2006, Ingleside opened one of the first HUD Assisted Living Conversion Grant Funded projects. The funds converted an under-utilized commercial space located at 1605 North Broom Street into 42 units of affordable assisted living, one of the first in the region. The project took less than two years from application of funding to completion. Now, up to 60 medically qualified seniors, regardless of income can afford assisted living in Delaware. This facility provided 17,047 days of care in to the frail, low-income elderly in 2011. Ingleside Senior Services Ingleside Senior Services (ISS) is an award-winning mobile outreach service which provided free referrals and resources to the elderly. This program has trained over 400 volunteers in Delaware to recognize signs of abuse and neglect in older adults. Volunteers include postal workers, utility workers, meter readers, church groups, and corporate members who identify isolated seniors in need, and refer them to Ingleside's case managers for help. Case managers not only link seniors with services, but follow up with the client until all of their needs are met. ISS partners with the City of Wilmington, and works with the Department of Licensing and Inspection to place seniors whose homes have been condemned, or who have been victims of abuse, into new homes. The City of Wilmington awarded this program $70,000 in 2010 and in 2011 this year for this purpose. Ingleside Home Health Ingleside provides a unique home health agency to low-income seniors. The programs are subsidized by local and private funders. The services are kept affordable by using a sliding scale fee, and by not requiring a minimum number of service hours in order to obtain services, which is the "for-profit" model used in the region. Low-income seniors can get med management, assistance bathing, dressing and eating, and remain in a section 202, instead of being institutionalized. This plan utilizes the State Medicaid Waiver program, as well as private sources of funding. This program provided 4632 hours of service by certified nursing assistants and nursing aids to elderly clients in the areas of personal care, companionship, housekeeping and in addition, this program supplied 200 units of monthly medicine and 679 units of laundry service. These services are provided free for those who cannot afford them, and subsidized through the benevolence program to assist the residents in maintaining their dignity, and in not becoming isolated. The Down's Cultural Center Located on the property of the proposed site is a 200 seat auditorium which has provided free, senior focused programming since 1991 to over 8,000 low-income seniors and their families each year. The program include daily events, including humanities forums, macular degeneration education, diabetes education, newly released and classic movies on a room sized theatre screen with surround sound, local area school performances, intergenerational programs, musicals, dance ensembles, opera, jazz ensembles, choirs, religious services, political debates, legislative updates from the Delaware delegation, medical alerts, and more.
