An estimated 25% of residents, who have been hard-working members of the community, will be able to live at Elk Run utilizing sources such as Medicaid and Medicare. Others will live at Elk Run for a few years, then find that they have encountered expensive issues they didn't expect, such as a long-term illness, or substantial increases in medication prices. For these elders, gifts will help to create a Bridge Fund, which has been used at other Augustana Care facilities to provide a "funding bridge" that keeps a resident in their apartment while the staff works with them to identify other potential sources of funding.
Colorado Gives Day funding will also support the amenities and activities offered to the residents of Elk Run in Evergreen.
Augustana Care Elk Run residents, who have been hard-working members of the community, know that there is a caring staff that can help them through financial hardships that pop up as anxiety-producing surprises. Those who find that their funds are running out do not need to panic about their change in circumstance. They can be assured that the Bridge Fund is a resource to draw on, and staff will support them in identifying other potential sources of funding.
