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 Picture of BCC annual meeting on 10/24/2025 with Kit Fox Outfitters providing training through the generous support of the Borrego Village Association.
