Supporting compassionate care for the elderly and so much more…

The Friends of St. Joseph’s Residence is the fundraising foundation for St. Joseph’s Residence Personal Care Home. Their main focus is to raise funds that ensure the legacy of a vibrant Spiritual Care program that meets the spiritual needs of the Residents served.

About FRIENDS OF ST JOSEPH'S RESIDENCE

The Friends have supported St. Joseph's Residence in numerous ways over the years, including provision of:

• A much-needed End of Life Care program that provides support not only to the dying resident, but to their loved ones as well,
• A Spiritual Care Coordinator trained to recognize the needs of each resident and devise a plan to meet these needs,
• A regular and diverse schedule of religious services.

The Friends have provided funding for several projects and purchases to assist the Residence to fulfill their mission of providing compassionate care, including:

• Voice features for the Nurse call system,
• Pressure-relieving mattresses that help a dying resident remain comfortable,
• Hearing devices and chapel sound system upgrades that enable residents with impaired hearing to engage more fully in religious and recreational programs,
• Improvements to the landscaping of the Residence’s grounds,
• Additional mechanical lifts to assist residents in transferring,
• Installation of a Wi-Fi system in common areas of the Residence,
• Partial funding for the Renovation to the Tub rooms on both units.
