Borrego Caregiver Corps

November 21, 2025
WHO WE ARE BCC caregivers assist with housekeeping and personal care, and receive training in First Aid, CPR, Safety and common medical conditions. Currently, 15 caregivers are available to serve our community. THE PROBLEM Borrego Springs has a large percentage of older adults who are no longer able to independently manage housekeeping and personal care, and is also home to families with young adults who are seeking career opportunities. THE SOLUTION For Borregans who need a little extra help to live independently at home, and our young families that need job opportunities, the Borrego Caregiver Corps* (BCC) is a Win/Win. THE BENEFITS ● Keep our community pillars here in Borrego for life: With support, no one needs to relocate to assisted living facilities far from Borrego Springs ● Healthcare: Building a workforce prepared to do the jobs needed to provide services here in Borrego Springs ● Resource expansion: Caregivers can continue the Healthcare Career Ladder using local Community College programs to become Certified Nursing/Medical assistant; LVN or RN ● Collaboration potential: Primary Care practices (DAP, STAT); Borrego USD; Borrego Ministers Association; Borrego Springs Community Resource Center; Rotary; Soroptimists WHAT'S NEXT Exploring opportunities to develop Adult Day Programs and Residential facilities in collaboration with Borrego property owners as the healthcare workforce expands to support growth. - *Picture of BCC annual meeting on 10/24/2025 with Kit Fox Outfitters providing training through a program organized through the Borrego Village Association thanks to a generous grant from the Borrego Valley Endowment Fund

Borrego Community Resource Center Honored for Service

October 4, 2025
Borrego Community Resource Center receives Award of Appreciation from Honorary Mayor Daniel Wright for exceptional service to the Borrego Springs community.

Executive Director: Martha Deichler

"The seed for the Borrego Springs Community Resource Center was planted at the onset of COVID when our locals lost employment and were in need of food. The Fredericks’/Wermers’ Food Bank and the High School’s Food Bank came together under the roof of the former library in the Mall and began holding a much needed weekly food distribution with donations from Feeding San Diego and the San Diego Food Bank."
