Lend A Hand of Boulder City
Project Overview
We provide individual escorted transportation to medical appointments and life sustaining services (grocery stores, banking, pharmacies, etc.), in-home care (meal prep, housekeeping, etc.) respite services for caregivers, and loans of equipment (walkers, wheelchairs, commodes, etc.). We help people remain independent in their homes while helping them access the care they need to do so. Lend A Hand was gifted a vehicle with specialized handicapped accessible equipment. After realizing that paratransit doesn’t reach many of our wheelchair bound residents, we expanded our client transportation services. We partner with 2 paid agencies for clients that need more care than a volunteer can provide. With the funding from CSFRF, we can hire additional staff members to help continue our expanding services to our clients as volunteers are becoming harder to find as the COVID pandemic continues.
