Heart2Heart has purchased 250 iPads to be distributed to isolated seniors in care centers throughout Broward County.
Heart2Heart will be distributing the iPads to at least 40 care centers. The iPads will be used by its residents as needed to connect with family, friends and Heart2Heart’s expanded base of digital volunteers.
The state of Florida has licensed Heart2Heart Outreach of South Florida to provide Homemaker and Companion Services in Broward County as of Jan. 5. The Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) designation will allow Heart2Heart volunteers who are specially trained and vetted to assist aging or disabled adults in need of assistance, giving regular caregivers time for their own self-care.
Heart2Heart’s end-of-year campaign, dubbed #ForOurSeniors, exceeded its goal of $50,000 and raised a total of $62,082.
The 48-hour campaign, on December 27 and 28, was run with the help of charidy.com. The money we raised will support our growth in the new year.
