Care and Wellness Core Team

Bradlyn Mulvey

Team Leader

(858) 565-1325

The Care Team represents the heart of our mission to provide support and assistance to members so that they may continue living in their home. This team becomes familiar with the member's physical, emotional and transportation needs that may require more than our day-to-day support systems would provide. Members on this team respond by timely communication, home visits, bereavement support and other activities as appropriate. All of these activities are done within the individual circumstances and preferences of the member being served. Another function is to help identify and assist the member in accessing professional services as may be required and requested.

The purpose of the "Neighborhood Groups" is twofold: to make the membership aware of the other members who live in their area and to improve the lines of communication between the members and the Board of Directors. It is anticipated that members will become acquainted with their TVSD neighbors, thus increasing their participation in Village events and activities. By providing a smaller and more comfortable forum for discussion, members will be able to share ideas, recommendations and voice issues & concerns.

TVSD is an all volunteer organization that requires a wide range of skills to function properly. The identification, training, and scheduling of our dedicated team of volunteers is the real key to our success. Some of our members are highly skilled, with limited time for helping us meet our needs. Others have more time to give, but require some minimum training and/or orientation to meet the needs of our various teams. Each of our Core Team Leaders relies on the Volunteer Team to insure their function does not fall short of expectations. We will always need your volunteer hours.
