One hundred and fifty years ago, Charles Dickens wrote the opening line to A Tale of Two Cities: “It was the best
of times, it was the worst of times…”
Were he writing today, Dickens might be hard-pressed to find anything in our economy that would fit a “best of
times” label, as we collectively struggle through perhaps the most difficult economic crisis since the Great Depres-
sion.
Village Care of New York is not insulated from the ravages of the economic downturn, nor are those whom the
organization serves – they are already among New York City’s poorest, and frailest, of citizens. Most of our pa-
tients, clients and residents rely on the largesse of government programs, and that of individuals, corporations,
organizations and foundations.
Village Care is vitally dependent on government entitlement programs – Medicaid and Medicare in particular
– to provide resources needed to support the breadth, depth and quality of services we offer both to persons
living with HIV/AIDS and to frail, older adults with disabilities, chronic illness and disease, and long-term care
needs.
A significant state budget shortfall, deepened by the nation’s economic woes, has created an unprecedented
funding crisis for those relying on government programs. Moreover, state government has displayed deter-
mined resolve to achieve reform in the way government allocates and spends its “health care dollar.” The
goal is to obtain the appropriate mix of care options that deliver quality that is timely and affordable.
In many respects, this means less government money is available, and care providers – be they acute or
long-term care – need to adjust. It further means that Village Care and others must make up the loss in
government funding with private donations.
Individuals in need can face the prospect that the services they require may not be there for them. Com-
plicating this is that needs are increasing, as individuals with borderline resources become impacted by the
economic crisis and are forced to seek help, expanding the burden on care providers who are already hard-
pressed to deliver.
While there is certainly justification to characterize these as dark times, and while Village Care and other
providers are facing perhaps their most significant challenges in a generation, not all is bleak.
Although there may be little, if anything, to be considered as “the best of times” at the moment, there are
many bright lights and shining examples, which you will find in this annual report of Village Care’s activities
in 2008. Even in the face of the fiscal and economic challenges, Village Care has pursued new opportunities
and created new partnerships and relationships aimed at improving services to our community.
Village Care continues to develop and expand its care components, seeing an obligation more than ever to
reach out to those in need.
We are creative in using our resources, and we respond directly to community need. We are firmly committed
to our mission to serve older adults, persons living with HIV/AIDS and individuals in need of long-term care and
rehabilitation services.
People choose Village Care because they are confident that we will be their care partner in an environment that is
warm and supportive, knowing that we will guide them on a path toward better health and well-being.
