Did you know?

·         Eskaton is the largest nonprofit community-based organization that serves seniors in the region.

·         Eskaton has 34 communities and programs.

·         More than 1,000 low-income seniors, veterans, and previously homeless, call Eskaton’s affordable housing home.

·         105,000 telephone calls are made annually by over 300 volunteers to check on seniors wanting to stay independent in their own homes.

 

According to Kim Rhinehelder, vice president of philanthropy for Eskaton Foundation, the number of older adults living in the Sacramento region is extraordinary, and roughly 85% want to live independently (and in their own homes) for as long as possible. Even in today’s economy, baby boomers are retiring in record numbers and there is an increasing number of frail elderly who are in need of critical services. 

 

Whether an older adult chooses to reside in an Eskaton retirement community or in their own home, Eskaton Foundation is committed to meeting their needs.
