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.
