As you know, this facility cares for 41 frail Miami residents with a variety of services designed to keep the elderly in their homes and prevent premature or needless long term insitutionalization. The Miami Jewish Homes remains committed to this day care program which has proven to be an integral part of a cost effective, viable method of delivering vital health care and social services to this segment of the population critically in need of this professional intervention.

I-Inritla 33137 3115 i 51-8626 Vitx 1:1051 751-Ulo As Chairman of the Board of the Miami Jewish Home and Hospital for the Aged, I am writing to express dismay at the plight of our Senior Adult Day Health Center at Legion Park. I remember 13 years ago when the City Commission asked the Miami Jewish Home to open a day center for the frail elderly citizens of Miami. We already operated one such center at our main cam- pus, but agreed to open a second with the full support and backing of the City of Miami. In the true spirit of cooperation that reflected the joint commitment of Douglas Gardens and the City, the costs were to be shared and the space offered free of charge. That commitment by the Miami Jewish Home remains as firm today as it was 13 years ago. However, we can no longer operate this program without the con- tinued full support of the City of Miami. Over the past three years, we have witnessed the steady erosion of that support. In 1985, the city pro- vided $108,000. This past year, $35,000 was appro- priated. only emergency intervention by the State of Florida has kept the Center going. However, that intervention was temporary at best. The commitment was, and must remain, with the City of Miami.

ON' J Mayor Xavier Suarez May 3, 1988 Page Two Without a restoration of funding at the $lo0,000 level, Douglas Gardens will have to close the Legion Park Center. Wherever possible we will find other placements and services for our clients, but we know that some will have to be institutionalized. However, the alternative is equally unthinkable: to operate an understaffed program with fewer activities because of insufficient funding. Similar programs in other sections of Miami are being fully funded by the City. Yet Legion Park, which requires only 1/3 of its budget to be funded by the City and is the only city -supported adult day program in the northeast area, is being targeted for cuts. As a sensitive and caring leader of this community, please do not allow Legion Park to close. Work with us to ensure that this scenario does not take place. The frail elderly of Miami need us and depend on us. Together, let us continue to be there for them.

Miami created this program for a purpose... to help the poor and less fortunate elderly people of Miami. The City gave them support financially to provide them with food, recreation, hope, love and a great sense of dignity. Now, I hear that you are ready to cut them off from financial support and desert them all. How can you let this happen??? You'll never be able to build a better city or future for Miami when the elderly in need is not regarded with care. Mat hope will it give to any of us and how proud will it make you feel to be a part of it? If these doors are closed, the elderly participants of this program will be left with no place to go causing fear, heartbreak and loneliness. Please don't let this happen to the people of Miami. Be proud of your City and keep the doors open at "Senior Adult Day Center" Sincerely, Mrs. Jo Ann Vicinanza t 721 S.W. 113 Avenue Pembroke Pines, Florida 33025 Submitted into the public record in connection with item on 1 Matty Hirai City Clerk Iorloij S S-440. 88-441 .

These may be difficult times budgetwise for the City of Miami but it seems to me that sufficient waste and controllable extraneous expenses can be curtailed to enable the City of Miami to keep its faith to these frail elderly, most of whom are indigent.

I understand that the Adult Day Health Center at Legion Park, which has been maintained by the Home ever since it was requested so to do by the City some 13 years ago, may have to close its doors by reason of the possible loss of funding by the City. This is without doubt a most important and worthwhile project since it truly helps the frail, elderly indigents who, except for the Center, might well have to be placed in an institution. What we need is $100,000 from the City - i.e. only 1/3 of the Center's budget. Won't you please do whatever you can to see that this outstandingly worthwhile project will receive the urgently required funding from the City and in that manner enable the Home tp continue its good work for the residents of the Northeast section of our City?

These may be tough times, but I can't believe this city is so bankrupt, either financially or morally, that it would turn its back on these frail elderly, most of whom are indigent. Please uphold your commitment to our senior citizens and vote for full funding at the $100,000 level. (2) I know from personal experience that day centers are one of the best ways to keep older adults in their own homes and in good health. If not for these centers, many would be in institutions. That is why I am horrified to hear that the Legion Park Center may go under because the City of Miami is withdrawing all support. There are so few services available, and even fewer quality services, that I can't believe you would allow this to happen. Please, as a civic leader, reconsider and support full funding for Legion Park. How can we possibly do less? (3) As a resident of northeast Miami, I am very disturbed to find out that we may lose our adult day center at Legion Park. Many of the elderly who attend this excellent center are very frail and very poor. I find it hard to believe that they are any less in need of this service than those in other parts of this city. Legion Park requires only $100,000 or 1/3 of its funding from the City of Miami. Yet, it has been cut two years in a row, and may now be cut out altogether. As a representative for all of Miami, please see that our day center at Legion Park is maintained. very truly yours l dit0 qS-440 88-441 . c2.�( �.!P"�.--�a�r�---�_ �.(,�.(f �%7L�a. �,, .�..% � .'rz.. r.-x. � ..i.-, i�•t..,r Li.�, ._%. l Dear I know from personal experience that day centers are one of the. best ways to keep older adults in their own homes and in good health.

These may be tough times, but I can't believe this city is so bankrupt, either financially or morally, that it would turn its back on these frail elderly, most of whom are indigent. Please uphold your commitment to our senior citizens and vote for full funding at the $?,,00,000 level. r I (2) I know from personal experience that day centers are one of the best ways to keep older adults in their own homes and in good health. If not for these centers, many would be .in institutions. That is why I am horrified to hear that the Legi%n Park Center may go under because the City of Miami is withdrawing all support. There are so few services avail6ble, and even fewer quality services, that I can't believe you would allow this to happen.
