W. S. Care Center Underway
Courtesy of the Pioneer
Site preparatin work has begun
on a new $4 million elder care
center in Warm Springs.
Construction crews could begin
working on the facility which will
include 50 one-bedroom units, and
1 8 two-bedroom units, for a total
of 40.
The facility, approved by a
general vote of the tribal electorate
in March of 1 998, will also incllude
a kitchen, dining room, senior day
care and services.
The new elder care center will
be 40,800-square-feet in size,
roughly the same size as the tribes'
early childhood center.
While a ground-breaking
ceremony was held in December
for the facility, actual construction
has been delayed for a time, due to
complications in the bidding
process.
However, the project is again
moving forward, and construction
is expected to begin soon.
When is operation, the center
will employ 15 tribal members.
Jobs that will be created include
certified nursing aids, cooks and
housekeepers.
The facility to be located
near the senior housing
development and senior center in
Warm Springs is needed as the
population of tribal members is
growing, with approxmately 170
members age 60 and older, tribal
information indicates.
The need for the facility can
also be seen in the strong support
which the project received inb the
March 1 998 tribal vote of the total
717 votes cast in the electin, 645
votes, or nearly 90 percent, were
infavor.
Infant Follow Along Program
From the day they are born, they learn all kinds of things like:
"Eating and sleeping"
"Listening and looking"
"Wiggling and moving"
They learn from everyone around them-from their parents
and grandparents, aunts, uncles, sisters, and brothers.
You can encourage their learning through a special Infant
Follow Along Program (IFAP), sponsored by the Head Start
and Early Intervention Program on the Confederated Tribes of
Warm Springs Indian Reservation.
Parents who enroll their infants in this Infant Follow Along
Program receive a brief questionnaire every four months until
their baby is three years old.
Each questionnaire alerts parents to the skill level of their
child's age group. The results of the scoring of the questionnaire
informs professionals and parents of possible concerns in their
child's development.
Parents involved in the Infant Follow Along Program will work
with Professional Development Specialists and leam how to
teach their infants new ways to leam.
If you are interested in the Infant Follow Along Program
contact Carolyn Winishut or Tryna Muilenburg at (541) 553-3241.
