PRODUCT PROFILE

According to an article published in the Executive Female, "Companies offering alternatives to the nursing home are taking off." Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE) are a recognized, cost-effective alternative to the nursing home. Summer Gardens Residential Care Facility for the Ambulatory Elderly will be a community-based living and care giving facility established to serve the needs of our rapidly increasing elderly population.

Residential care facilities have existed in various forms for decades. Over the past twenty years, most states have developed licensure requirements as a means of standardizing the quality of these facilities. RCFE's operating in the state of California must be licensed and must operate under the comprehensive Code of California Regulations.

Summer Gardens will comply with all licensure and Title 22 requirements. The facility will focus on providing services which promote independence in a safe and pleasant environment. As the elderly struggle to stay out of nursing homes and hospitals, they seek help with food preparation, laundry, and housekeeping. As an alternative to nursing home placement, Summer Gardens will provide housing and assistance to its residents, including meal preparation (general and special diets), laundry, linen, housekeeping, and personal care. Appropriate staff will assist in recreational activities. Staff will also arrange physician appointments and coordinate transportation.
