What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Avenidas Rose Kleiner Adult Day Program
Avenidas Rose Kleiner Adult Day Program is designed to provide support and care so those older adults who are living with chronic medical/cognitive conditions can avoid emergency room care and hospitalization. Nursing staff work closely with participants’ physicians for individual care plans that help avoid medical crisis. The Center provides:
• Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
• Health monitoring and nursing care
• Group Exercise
• Nutritious lunches meeting dietary needs
• Structured activities at various levels of cognitive functioning
• Transportation to and from Center
The staff also provide training, support, and referrals for the family caregivers who have the challenging responsibility of caring for a loved one. The goal is to allow participants to remain living at home with loved ones as long as possible.
Avenidas Village
Avenidas Village is a membership program offered through the non-profit agency Avenidas. It’s a community network for older adults that offers practical help, resources and social connections to keep you active, confident and independent in your own home and neighborhood. It is not a place to live, but a system of programs and services to allow older adults to age while continuing to live in their communities.
Avenidas Lifelong Learning & Wellness Programs
At Avenidas whether you want to exercise your body or keep your brain fit, try your hand at watercolors or creative writing, learn a foreign language or play a game of chess, the Avenidas Learning & Leisure program offers you all that and more. The Health and Wellness offerings help keep older adults healthy and mentally active.
There are so many positive outcomes to continuous learning—it can improve your self-confidence as you master a new subject, and it helps keep your brain healthy when you take on new challenges and explore different hobbies. There is also the added benefit of connecting with other older adults and building new friendships which helps reduce social isolation which can have significant health benefits.
Avenidas Chinese Community Center
The Avenidas Chinese Community Center was created to promote health, wellness and recreation in culturally appropriate programs to a diverse senior community. We also encourage cultural sensitivity through education and community engagement. This program provides many sessions in both Chinese and English and is open to all in the community. Seminars and many activities are offered in person or through on-line sessions. Whether you want to learn more about our diverse community first-hand or appreciate our bi-lingual programs, there is so much to be learned by participating.
Avenidas Care Partners
Avenidas Care Partners was created to help family caregivers navigate complex legal, financial and health care systems, enhance communication strategies, reduce stress and practice self-care.
Through the talents of professional social work staff who are connected to community resources, this program can help reduce stress, navigate medical planning, and create a caregiver support team.
Avenidas Door to Door Program
Avenidas Door to Door provides rides within a 10 mile radius of your home by using trained volunteer drives to assure older adults arrive safely at their destination. Rides can be for errands, medical appointments, to visit friends, to go grocery shopping or to just connect with others and get out of the house. Our specialty is for older adults who need some assistance getting in and out of the vehicle or to the entrance of their destination. This program helps many seniors maintain some independence when they stop or reduce their driving.
Avenidas Rainbow Collective
The Rainbow Collective is a collaborative effort that reaches out to LGBTQ+ older adults to support their desire for community and connection. The Collective works with other partner organizations to provide information and services to support LGBTQ+ older adults goal of being included and a valued part of our community. LGBTQ+ seniors are often marginalized in our communities when it comes to access to healthcare, housing and other services. The Collective works to understand these barriers and help remove them.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
