Senior Wishes

The Senior Wish Program was created to help fulfill the personal life wishes of Oregon’s senior citizens residing in long term care communities, such as assisted living, residential care, senior retirement, and nursing/rehabilitation communities.

Created and founded by Jennifer Hoffer of Marquis Companies, the program was adopted statewide and is now promoted and supported by the Oregon Health Care Foundation (OHCF). Employees and volunteers at long term care communities in Oregon work with local businesses, community groups and opinion leaders to make senior wishes a reality. Granting of the dreams and wishes of Oregon elders through the Senior Wish Program helps to fulfill OHCF’s mission.

OHCF provides hands on training sessions for long term care professionals on how to successfully implement the Senior Wish Program, distributes an informational How-To Guide and DVD about the program, chronicles and promotes Senior Wish initiatives conducted by long term care communities throughout the state, and provides matching funds and resource networking to long term care communities to enable the granting of senior wishes.

OHCF is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) charitable organization that accepts contributions to help fund the Senior Wish Program in long term care communities statewide. Additionally, OHCF is pleased to accept contributions that are designated for a specific Senior Wish activity and will ensure these gifts are granted to the identified long term care community.  Learn more about supporting OHCF programs.
