EXPANDING AND UPGRADING AN ACCLAIMED RESIDENCE

THE HOME
The Lillian Booth Actors' Home of The Actors Fund welcomes performing arts and entertainment professionals – designers, writers, technicians, musicians, dancers, administrators, directors, editors, stagehands … and actors – and their families. Current residents include actors, vaudevillians, Ziegfeld Follies dancers, comedians, band leaders and set designers. Among the most famous residents were Joseph Sultzer and Charles Marks, better known as the comedy team of Smith and Dale and the inspiration for Neil Simon's hit play and movie The Sunshine Boys.

A VITAL EXPANSION
The needs of this community are growing and, over the next ten years, the number of Americans between the ages of 75 and 84 will increase by 28%, and those over 84 by 42%. Already, applicants hoping to move into our skilled nursing home are too often asked to wait, or referred elsewhere, because there aren’t enough beds available to meet the demand.

It is critically important that The Actors Fund act to meet this growing need, and the new renovation now underway will:

• Add 15 beds to the skilled nursing facility, increasing capacity from 67 to 82.
• Expand sub-acute care, offering more residents IV therapies, wound care, pain management, and hospice.
• Create a state-of-the-art rehabilitation and activities wing to provide physical, occupational and speech therapies.
• Renovate the lobby to enhance security, improve reception services and promote access to management and care staff.

HOW YOU CAN HELP
There are many ways to stand up and be counted for the Actors Fund Home - and other residences and programs of The Actors Fund - by memorializing your commitment through a Named Opportunity.

The Fund would be pleased to answer your questions, provide a tour of the Home, and to discuss the many options with you.
