What does the Benevolent Fund Provide to Residents?
In the last 10 years, the Benevolent Fund has contributed over $5,000,000 to provide the following safety-net programs available at no charge to all residents of Panorama.
Financial Assistance Program – This support is extended to Independent Living residents who have outlived their planned financial resources.
Social Services Advisors – The Fund supports Social Service Advisors who assist residents in various aspects of their life while navigating Panorama’s continuum of care.
SARA ® (Situational Awareness Response Assistant) – The Fund provides a personal emergency alert pendant to every Independent Living resident.
The Fund also sponsors quality of life educational programs.
These services and programs are made possible by an Annual Fund Drive, memorials, bequests, and individual donations, as well as by contributions from the Panorama Corporation, Benevolent Fund-operated sales events and charitable partnerships.
