Family Eldercare's Capital Campaign Phase 1 goal to raise $5 million for building a new Program Center at Rathgeber Village is in its final stages! We have only $500,000 left to raise, thanks to commitments for $500,000 from The Roy F. and Joann Cole Mitte Foundation, and $350,000 from The Meadows Foundation.  With 100% support from our Board and Campaign Steering Committee we are asking the larger community to invest in Family Eldercare's future by giving a legacy gift for the new building or to our endowment fund.

The need for a new Program Center is crucial as the most dramatic growth in the elder population in Texas will take place in Travis, Williamson, and Hays counties, where the number of older adults is expected to increase from 98,807 to 171,690 by 2015¹. To meet the oncoming elder boom, Family Eldercare will need to double its current staff over the next 10 years, as well as greatly expand our programs.

The goal of the capital campaign is to expand the agency’s capacity to meet the needs of older adults, people with disabilities, and their caregivers in Central Texas so they can remain safely living in their homes and communities for as long as possible.  With your help, we can meet that goal, and help secure the futures of many elders, adults with disabilities, and their caregivers.

In Travis County an estimated 7.3% of the senior population have incomes at or below the poverty level and residents with a mental disability live in poverty at almost twice the general rate. (2006 American Community Survey)

Family Eldercare responds to these needs with services designed to prevent abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation of elders and adults with disabilities. Our programs prolong independent living in the least restrictive environment, and promote the health, well-being and dignity of those we serve.  To learn more about our programs please click on the How We Help link.
