Kara Braich's Company Details
Bailey-Boushay House is a residential and outpatient facility for individuals with HIV/AIDS and other life threatening illnesses located in Seattle's Madison Valley neighborhood. Bailey-Boushay House is part of Virginia Mason Health Systems. Bailey has been serving our community for over 24 years.The House has two major programs: Residential Care and Outpatient Program. Our Outpatient Program serves individuals living with HIV/AIDS who live independently in the community. The program provides medication management via a nurse visit, meals, and social activities to over 250 individuals. Each outpatient is connected to a care manager (social worker) to facilitate housing, medical and insurance issues. Art projects, games, internet access are available on site. Exercise, occupational and physical therapy are available. All of these activities help develop a sense of community and enable clients to have a higher quality of life. All of these services are intended to support and encourage clients to maintain their independence. The program operates from 6:30 am to 4:00 pm 365 days a year.The Residential Care Program provides skilled nursing care in a 24 hour a day residential setting. Most residents need more care than a traditional nursing home can provide, but do not require the level of care provided by a hospital. Volunteers play a vital role in the day to day operating of the facility and offer support, comfort and a listening presence to both clients and residents. Program Assistants volunteer for a consistent four hour shift each week assisting with the front desk, meals, outings and activities coordinated by our Recreational Therapy team. We are looking for dedicated volunteers to join our team! We are also looking for community members with specialties- such as licensed stylists to cut hair on premises.Our volunteers make a difference each day at Bailey-Boushay House.
