Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Adult Day clients enjoy and share a sustained artistic activity that enhances their overall health, quality of life, and creative self-expression. Kairos’ Dancing Heart ™ program is evidence-based; we will use their pre- and post-assessment tools, which line up with our service goals, and do post-project focus groups with staff. 2: Low income seniors enjoy and share a sustained artistic activity that enhances their overall health, quality of life, and creative self-expression. The number of underserved low income seniors this partnership positively impacts will be tracked using our own client data and the Kairos assessment tools.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Adult Day clients loved KAIROS Alive!'s Dancing Heart Program, which enhanced their overall health, quality of life, and creative self-expression. 2: 30 seniors were positively impacted by KAIROS. 17 were low income, 1 above 200% of poverty; we have no income data on our 12 Catholic Eldercare guests.
