Mission
Statement: |
The Guild Care Adult Health Care programs
reflect the ongoing mission of the Jewish Guild for the Blind, to offer
a "wide range of programs and services to persons of all ages, races and
creeds who are blind, visually impaired, or multi-handicapped." Guild
Care's supportive environment and holistic approach are designed
to maintain,, restore, and/or improve the physical, mental and
psychosocial functioning of those visually impaired adults, especially
the elderly who might otherwise require institutionalization. The aim of
Guild Care is to foster independence and assist caregivers by providing
a package of services in a congregate setting that accomplishes these
goals.. |
