President’s Welcome
Welcome to browse our website and learn more about our non-profit organization, Deaf Seniors Foundation of Palm Springs, Inc. Eileen and Stephen Schultz, Barbara Goldman, Bob Miller, Darol Nance, and I co-founded the organization because we saw a huge gap in services for deaf people throughout Coachella Valley. After some research, we decided to form a non-profit foundation to raise money in order to make possible a Deaf Community Center (which will serve the deaf community of all ages) and deaf-friendly assisted living or nursing care facilities which are either independent or affiliated with an established senior care facility.
Please check our website (http://www.dsf-ps.org) from time to time, or register online to get the latest updates. We would greatly appreciate your support by either attending our events or making personal donations. The more support you offer the sooner Deaf Seniors Foundation of Palm Springs can make its vision happen.
Thank you very much!
Philip C. Rubin, President

Deaf Seniors Foundation Mission Statement
The Deaf Seniors Foundation of Palm Springs (DSF-PS) has a two-pronged mission:
First, the organization’s primary purpose is to develop plans and sponsor fundraising activities within the Palm Springs and Southern California region.
Second, the organization’s long-term goal is to create, or establish, programs that will support the varied needs and interests of a diverse deaf and hard-of-hearing population within the Palm Springs and Coachella Valley region. These include, but are not limited to, assisted living and competent nursing facilities for senior citizens and a fully accessible all-ages community center for social, educational, and recreational purposes.
The organization, which represents a predominantly sign language community, will promote awareness of communication accessibility, including, but not limited to, American Sign Language (ASL) and other communication methods that may be preferred by individual deaf and hard-of-hearing persons. Further, the organization will work in partnership with other local and nearby organizations and individuals to provide pertinent resource, referral, and support services for the area’s deaf and hard-of-hearing population. These include, but are not limited to, sign language interpreting and recruitment/training of qualified assistant care personnel who understand and are sensitive to deaf culture and communication access.
