The results (2,500 returned) not only were informative but helped us in the design and planning of the new center. The survey concluded that Senior Nutrition Programs topped the needs list with 70%, exercise opportunities at 54%, Health Services at 36%, Adult Day Care and Respite Care at 28% and Support Groups at 25%.

Dear Friends, The Osceola County Council on Aging has worked tirelessly for 35 years to help vulnerable citizens live with independence and dignity. During that time, Osceola County has become home to a swiftly growing senior population that is largely indigent and in critical need of assistance. More than 20% of Osceola County’s population is over the age of 55. While the Council has continued to keep pace with the growing needs of our community, we have reached the point of outgrowing the facility where our organization provides services. A new Center is needed to not only maintain current levels of service, but to prepare for the increasing numbers of residents who will most certainly need our help in the future. There are so many ways you can help meet the growing need. The Council on Aging urges you to consider the contribution suggestions contained in this letter, and do your part to make Osceola County a kind and compassionate community. After all, today it is your neighbor ... tomorrow it could be you. Sincerely, Beverly Hougland Chief Executive Officer

Financial Goal photo
The total cost for this state of the art facility is $12 million. This includes the land and equipment such as examination room tables, wheelchair scales, kitchen and administrative equipment,
communication systems and power generation for the ability to operate indefinitely during periods of power outages. To that end, the Council has raised almost $5 million including the generous donation of land from the Barney E. Veal family and $2 million approved by the Osceola County Board of County Commissioners. Additional private and corporate donations have also been received.
To make the Center a reality, the Council must raise an additional $7 million. With the support of our care giver partners, the corporate and small business community, local government, philanthropic organizations and individuals the Council can attain this goal. By doing so we can continue to deliver services as we have for the past 35 years to the vulnerable, elderly, disabled, and less fortunate individuals and families of Osceola County.
