Support Our Phase II Capital
Campaign
Since
1981, The Center of Family Love (CFL) has been a home to adults
needing special care, many with profound/severe mental and motor
disabilities. Based on 30 years of experience CFL has found that the
well-being of its residents is best served in smaller homes, as in
the award winning Loosen Geriatric Center where each resident has
his/her own bedroom. Thus, the CFL Board voted to embark upon an
ambitious campaign to transform the current campus into a more
home-like facility in order to better serve their residents, people
who depend upon CFL for their care. You may download our Capital Campaign Case Statement HERE.
Phase
I of CFL’s capital project was completed in September 2011.
Total cost of Phase I is $4.8 million. This phase includes two new
16-bed intermediate care facilities (ICF) with private rooms and a
home-like atmosphere. Phase I was funded with $1 million in
donations, cash on hand and a $2.8 million loan that is being repaid
with the additional income generated by these beds. The loan was
granted by a consortium of banks based on The Center of Family Love’s
excellent financial situation: no debt, cash in the bank and ability
to leverage the increased rates per bed due to the new construction.
Phase
II is a 3-part project consisting of:
-
Remodeling
the existing 54-bed, 30-year old ICF building into two 16-bed units.
The original ICF was designed on a medical model, like a hospital or
institution, with double, even triple occupancy. The two new 16-bed
units will be home-like with each resident having his/her own
private room. Each unit will have a conference/activity room, and a
much more home-like atmosphere.
-
Furnishings
for all 64 new bedrooms (32 constructed in Phase I) and the kitchen
and dining areas, TV and lounge areas and other furnishing needs for
the four new home-like ICFs, two of which were completed in Phase I.
-
Landscaping
plan, irrigation system and new plantings for entire campus.
The entire capital
campaign will add 10 new beds to the campus and upgrade an additional
22.
