The Broward Homebound Program
Inc. has provided cost effective home
care to clients since its inception in
May 1986. The program is housed at
and is sponsored by North Broward Medical
Center. Other partners in this cost-sharing
venture are Century Village East Coalition,
Department of Children & Families,
Broward Board of County Commissioners,
The
United Way and
the United Jewish Community of Broward County, foundations, cities,
and the client, who is assessed a fee
according to his/her ability to pay.
Objective:
To provide cost effective home care services
to disabled persons and frail elderly.
Because of ever increasing demands on diminishing resources for social and in-home
services, it has become necessary to develop programs with multiple financial
bases, including client participation in the planning and payment of services.
It is through this shared commitment that no one sector carries the cost and
responsibility to an overwhelming extent.
Eligibility:
To be eligible for the program clients must be at least eighteen (18) years of
age, be homebound by virtue of a chronic functional impairment, and reside in
Broward County.
