TRU Community Care and The Conversation Project Join Forces

September 6, 2019 by TRU Community Care

Two local organizations providing important end-of-life resources are coming together to better serve the Boulder County community. Acknowledging that end-of-life planning should be done far in advance of developing a serious or terminal illness, TRU Community Care (TRU) recognized that The Conversation Project in Boulder County (TCPB) approach and materials would be a welcome addition to their community education efforts.

TRU, founded in 1976 as Boulder Hospice, has been providing hospice care, palliative care, and grief services for 43 years. In 2017, TRU PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) began in order to offer comprehensive care services designed to help people continue to live as independently as possible. The Conversation Project in Boulder County formed in 2013, based on the nationally-acclaimed work of Boston Globe columnist and author, Ellen Goodman, with a mission to foster meaningful and effective conversations around care at the end-of-life, resulting in the appointment of an informed decision-maker.

Over half of us will be unable to speak for ourselves at the end of life. Choosing and documenting your choice of a decision-maker is an important first step. Talking to that person and your family is equally important. Starting the conversation is never easy, but families and health care professionals report that it is a relief when the subject of how we want the end of our life to look is brought into the open and our choices can be honored because of careful forethought and conversation.

TRU Community Care is excited to build on the work of The Conversation Project and to help community members, palliative care and hospice patients, and PACE participants begin to have these critical conversations earlier in their journey. The Conversation Project will retain its name, volunteers, and identity and looks forward to being part of TRU’s community offerings.

According to Michael McHale, CEO of TRU Community Care, “We are looking forward to joining forces with The Conversation Project to better serve our community.” Constance Holden and Jean Abbott, Co-founders of the Project, “welcome this partnership with Boulder County’s leader in end-of-life care.” Michael, Constance, and Jean feel that the organizations’ missions complement one another beautifully.

September 29, 2017 by TRU Community Care

For Immediate Release – September 29, 2017

(Lafayette, CO) — TRU Community Care is the recipient of a $250,000 grant for its capital campaign. Awarded by The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation of Baltimore, Maryland, the grant brings the total giving to almost $5 million, just shy of TRU’s $6 million goal. With this grant, the Weinberg Foundation will name the rehabilitation gym in the TRU PACE Center, where participants receive physical, occupational, speech and other necessary therapies.The capital campaign began in 2015 to raise funds for the new TRU PACE and Grief Services building located in Lafayette. PACE stands for Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly.

TRU Grief Services supports hospice families and the community at large with individual grief counseling and support groups. About 2,500 individuals each year benefit from services. Thirty percent have been served by TRU Hospice, and 70% are community members who have suffered some type of loss.

TRU PACE is now enrolling eligible seniors who live in Boulder and southwest Weld Counties. This innovative program, which began on March 1, serves residents by providing preventive, primary, acute and long-term care services that enable these elderly individuals to continue living safely in the community.

The Weinberg Foundation is committed to helping low-income older adults age in their communities with independence, dignity, and maximum quality of life,” said Aaron Merki, Weinberg Foundation Program Director, Older Adults. “PACE programs, including TRU PACE, play a vital role in fulfilling that commitment by providing and coordinating a variety of supports and services.

TRU PACE is available to people 55 years or older who are certified by the State of Colorado to need nursing-home-level care. The program supports clients to live as independently as possible and helps participants and their families navigate the complicated issues associated with aging. Individuals in Boulder County or southwest Weld County, who are currently living safely in the community, are encouraged to call and inquire about enrolling in TRU PACE.

TRU PACE’s goal is to help seniors in our community age in place,” says Executive Director Bob Thorn. “With the aging population in our community projected to grow 69% during the next 25 years, TRU Community Care is seizing the opportunity to continue its leadership by adding a Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) to our cadre of services.

As a program that serves seniors from all walks of life, TRU PACE is a Medicare/Medicaid covered program for participants. Clients in the TRU PACE program must receive all their health care, primary care and specialty physician services (other than emergency services) from TRU PACE providers. TRU PACE is part of the National PACE Organization (www.npaonline.org).

Paige Foundation Steps Forward to Support Seniors and New TRU PACE Center

April 14, 2017 by TRU Community Care

For Immediate Release: April 14, 2017
Contact: Annette Mainland, VP of Philanthropy
303.604.5261 or annettemainland@trucare.org

(Lafayette, CO) – The Herbert & Judy Paige Family Foundation is impacting senior care in Boulder County and beyond through funding and lending to TRU Community Care. Through a shared Board Member, Timothy Schafer, a local attorney specializing in estate planning and a native of Broomfield, TRU has benefited from the Paige Foundation through a low-cost loan of $1.5 million to help with program start-up costs associated with TRU PACE and a capital grant of $40,000 to help offset construction costs.

TRU PACE (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly) launched on March 1, 2017 and serves frail elders who are nursing-home eligible, allowing them to remain safely in their community. PACE is a model of care that provides an 11-member interdisciplinary team approach to create individualized care plans. PACE participants visit the center two, three, or five days each week to receive care. In-home care is provided to round out the TRU PACE spectrum of services.

PACE is a Medicare/Medicaid funded program, but start-up costs, along with costs to provide the PACE center are not reimbursed by these government insurance programs. Therefore, TRU Community Care has been raising funds through a capital campaign to help to offset costs associated with their construction of the PACE center. The Paige Foundation made a grant of $40,000 to assist with the capital campaign.

PACE requirements dictate that program staff must be in place before any seniors can join the program. When the Paige Foundation learned about the need to front the program costs, Schafer put the foundation and the organization together to discuss possible loan arrangements. The very favorable loan rate the foundation offered to TRU enabled TRU PACE to borrow $1.5 million.

TRU Community Care is grateful for the significant support offered by The Paige Foundation at this time of important growth in service to our community of frail seniors and their families.

(Lafayette, CO) – TRU Community Care, a nonprofit organization providing hospice and supportive services to the Boulder community and beyond, has received a $300,000 Worthy Cause grant from Boulder County.

These funds help with the high price of obtaining and/or improving facilities that fit nonprofits’ specific needs as they serve the population. The tax expires in 2018.

TRU Community Care Joins the Global #GivingTuesday Movement – Pledges to Raise Funds for Uninsured Patients

(Lafayette, CO) – TRU Community Care has joined #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide. Donations to TRU Community Care can be made here and support hospice care for uninsured patients. Occurring this year on November 29, #GivingTuesday is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday to kick-off the holiday giving season and inspire people to collaborate in improving their local communities and to give back in impactful ways to the charities and causes they support.

During 2015, TRU served 1,411 patients and families who were living with a terminal illness or with an advanced disease, offering their expert medical, emotional, and spiritual care and support.

1,153 patients received hospice care
258 received palliative home health and social work counseling
422 stayed at the TRU Hospice Care Center at some point during their treatment

Of these patients, $67,495 was provided in indigent services to people who did not have the means to pay for care.

92Y − a cultural center in New York City that, since 1874, has been bringing people together around its core values of community service and giving back − conceptualized #GivingTuesday as a new way of linking individuals and causes to strengthen communities and encourage giving. In 2015, the fourth year of the movement, #GivingTuesday brought together over 45,000 partners in 71 countries and helped raise nearly $117 Million online in the US alone.

“We have been incredibly inspired by the generosity in time, efforts and ideas that have brought our concept for a worldwide movement into reality,” said Henry Timms, founder of #GivingTuesday and executive director of 92Y. “As we embark on our fifth year of #GivingTuesday, we are encouraged by the early response from partners eager to continue making an impact in this global conversation.”
