Mission: At the heart of the safely somewhere foundation, our mission is to assist the medical community with locating a safe living environment for those that are underfunded and no longer able to live independently. This mission is guided by the understanding that patient advocacy needs to encompass the full spectrum of care with focus on physical, familial, emotional, mental and financial health. From this perspective, we are able to maximize the efforts of our partners and give back to the community to provide an environment that allows for safety, independence, and well being to live and flourish.
Programs: In this program we assisted families and individuals with finding assisted living options that were suitable for each given case based on the level of care associated with the client, the preferred location where the individual or family wanted to be, and the budget that was available for placement. Based on these criteria, options were set up, the individual or family members were toured, and the facility was selected by the family. The client was then transferred to the facility and cared for 24 hours a days, 7 days a week.
in this program we assisted underfunded individuals with the costs associated with assisted living. This ranged from assistance with transportation, covering the cost of specialty medications, help paying for durable medical equipment, or even paying for room and board at an assisted living facility. This program consisted of all charity funding and no revenue was collected.
