Help ASEB Hayward!

ASEB Hayward moved to a new location at 1105 Walpert Street in February 2015 after the lease on our old A Street site ended. This new site is a house in a quiet and sunny neighborhood frequented by wild turkey and deer. Our new home on Walpert St. offers a more peaceful and therapeutic environment that will allow us to provide the best possible care for our participants.
As is normal when creating a new Daytime Care Center, the moving process included extensive renovation. It takes more than a few changes to make a house ready for 40 participants per day. Our centers have to be ADA compliant, and no detail is too small to overlook in making certain that our participants will be safe.
What was not expected in this whole process was that ASEB would have to wait for months on an inspection from the State of California in order to approve our license. Between the months of February and June, ASEB Hayward was kept waiting, with no definite opening date in sight.
Fortunately, we were able to bring many of our clients to our Berkeley site. But those who were too far away to come to Berkeley but still needed daily care have been provided in-home care.
The majority of ASEB’s clients are low-income, and unable to afford this additional expense. Leaving a loved one with late-stage dementia at home alone is a potentially dangerous situation—one that we were not going to risk.
Our commitment to our families doesn’t allow us leave our participants in the lurch, but this has come at a tremendous cost to ASEB.
Please give what you can to help offset this expense!
Thank you
