A gift to Kavod this year ensures older adults living in our community have access to quality health care, mental health support services and everything they need to age with grace, dignity and joy. Our residents are on limited incomes, so your support means the world to them. Thank you!

Testimonials

Each year, Kavod solicits feedback from its residents on a variety of issues to analyze our success and guide future projects. Comments from the 2018 survey show that individuals living on campus are very satisfied with the housing and supports they receive:
"My apartment is my home."
"I look forward to spending the next fifty years at Kavod."
"I wish the rest of the world could follow Kavod's example. What a wonderful world it would be!"
"If I were a millionaire I would still live here. I mean it."
"I simply would not wish to live anywhere else."
"The best place in town!"
"I cannot think of any other place to live offering all these activities, most of all free for people like myself who cannot pay for these services."

Kavod also earned a Great Nonprofits badge for 2021.

Our goals are to ensure that older individuals in our city have access to the support they need to age well, regardless of income level or health status. We are proud to offer the following notable programs as a way to reach these goals and help older citizens age in community:

- an on-site Health and Wellness Center offering services and classes including rehab (PT/OT), dental, podiatry, acupuncture, yoga, drumming, dance and more;

- an activity calendar with 50+ outings a month, including van trips to the mountains;
