Matthews NC Adult Daycare Winner in Toyota 100 Cars For Good

Toyota of Concord congratulates Blessed Assurance Adult Day Care, another Charlotte area winner in the Toyota 100 Cars for Good contest.

Blessed Assurance is a not-for-profit organization that cares for elderly or disabled adults who do not need 24-hour residential care, but cannot safely be left alone during the day. They provide skilled nursing care and health education, licensed rehabilitation services, recreational therapy, meals and nutritional counseling, family support groups, and the services of medical social workers. When necessary, they monitor health and hygiene needs, including bathing, grooming, blood pressure and blood sugar monitoring, medication administration, and many other specific needs.

The program benefits adults who are physically or cognitively impaired or otherwise need help to function independently in the community. The program helps such adults maintain a level of independence outside a nursing home, but still safely supervised. Blessed Assurance offers a community setting with social activities and peer support in a stimulating environment that helps to maintain cognitive function and prevent social isolation. It allows caregivers to work or otherwise leave the home during the day, lifting an economic and social burden for them as well.

For the contest, Toyota accepts thousands of applications from across the county, explaining who they serve, how they help, and how the organization would use a new vehicle. Qualifying groups include those who improve society through education, health and safety, animal welfare, and social services. Applications are reviewed by a judging panel of independent experts in philanthropy and service to narrow the list of organizations down to 500 finalists.

Final winners are chosen by public vote, so finalists work to raise awareness about the services they provide and how the community would benefit if they won a new vehicle from 100 Cars for Good. Each day for 100 days, five groups go up for vote, and one is announced as the winner of their choice of a new Toyota Highlander, Tundra, Camry Hybrid, Prius V or Sienna.

Toyota of Concord happily congratulates Blessed Assurance Adult Day Care on their well-deserved win in 100 Cars for Good, and encourages the community to support their efforts in any way you can.
