Frederick County Executive Jan Gardner today announced a new initiative to enhance the lives of residents at the County-owned Citizens Care and Rehabilitation Center and Montevue Assisted Living. A new grant process, fully funded by private donations, opens on October 1 for nonprofit organizations that will provide recreational, social, or rehabilitative activities for residents. Executive Gardner was accompanied by Betsy Day, president and CEO of The Community Foundation of Frederick County, which administers the grant program, and by donors of the two special funds.
“There are many wonderful, caring people who have personally invested large amounts of time, energy, and money to ensure our most vulnerable seniors are taken care of,” Executive Gardner noted at today’s public information briefing to announce the program.
