Mission
THE RONA BARRETT FOUNDATION SEEKS TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR SENIORS IN NEED WITH A PROJECT CALLED "THE GOLDEN INN & VILLAGE". THROUGH A COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP, THE FOUNDATION HAS ACQUIRED LAND FOR THE VILLAGE AND IS CREATING PROGRAMS THAT WILL ENABLE SENIORS TO RE-DEFINE THIS PHASE OF THEIR LIVES AND RE-INVENT THEMSELVES SO THAT THEY MAY REMAIN CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS OF SOCIETY. OUTREACH WILL BE MADE TO THE PRIMARY CAREGIVERS, WHETHER THEY BE FAMILY OR FRIENDS, TO PROVIDE BASIC TRAINING IN CAREGIVER SKILLS AND RESPITE FROM THIS DIFFICULT BUT IMPORTANT DUTY. PUBLIC AWARENESS OF THE STATE OF SENIORS IN NEED WILL BE RAISED BY RADIO, TELEVISION, AND APPEARANCES AT SPECIAL EVENTS.
