The Rossmoor Fund can assist you if you are experiencing a financial hardship; a grant awarded to you might be the helping hand you need. This can be in the form of a reimbursement to you, the Rossmoor resident, for the actual costs you have incurred related to the financial emergency, or direct payment to the provider.

Financial emergencies can include, but are not limited to, the following needs:

The Rossmoor Fund Respite Care Program provides periodic and temporary relief for a Rossmoor resident who serves as the primary caregiver for another Rossmoor resident. This includes a maximum of 8 hours of respite care per week without cost to the Rossmoor resident.

Respite care services are provided through the East Bay office of Jewish Family & Community Services (JFCS). The Rossmoor Fund also retains flexibility to increase the maximum income levels for respite care on a case-by-case basis, and the grant recipient’s needs are reassessed every six months.

Medical alert systems are senior safety devices that offer emergency help with the click of a button in the case of a fall or medical emergency. The Rossmoor Fund offers three Vital Link device options to eligible residents.

Once you push the button, a Vital Link operator comes on and you can communicate directly. The operator will then call first responders. In Rossmoor, the first responder is typically the Securitas office, and an ambulance can be dispatched immediately when needed.

The Rossmoor Fund offers an annual deep cleaning of Rossmoor manors without cost to the Rossmoor resident. This service helps provide a safer, cleaner home environment when extra assistance is needed.

Housecleaning services are provided by Merry Maids of East Bay, a licensed, bonded, and insured company. Two employees perform the housekeeping duties for two hours, and once the application is approved, the resident can schedule the appointment and set priorities for the work to be accomplished.

The Rossmoor Fund offers home repair services to qualified Rossmoor residents to address matters that pose a health or safety hazard. Covered work can include repair of tripping hazards, installation of grab bars, minor plumbing and electrical repairs and replacements, weather stripping, and repairs to malfunctioning windows and interior doors.

Home repair services are managed by Davis Home Pros, a licensed, bonded, and insured construction company. Davis Home Pros assesses the repair needs, donates the necessary labor, and the Rossmoor Fund reimburses the cost of materials. After approval, the resident can schedule the work directly.
