There is still time! You might have heard that we were selected as the Charity of the Month for @HeirloomLinens this October. Head on over and make a purchase of 'Made in Ireland' goods to support local seniors to overcome isolation and get care during the pandemic.
We are so honoured to be the Charity of the Month for @HeirloomLinens this October! For this month, your purchases of 'Made in Ireland' goods will help support local seniors overcome isolation and get the care they need during the global pandemic.
Did you hear? We've been selected as the Charity of the Month for @HeirloomLinens for October! Any purchase of 'Made in Ireland' goods will help support local seniors to overcome isolation and get the care they need during the pandemic. Make sure to pay them a visit this month!
Eldercare is excited to be the Charity of the Month for @HeirloomLinens Canada this October. All month long, your purchases of Made in Ireland goods will help support local seniors overcome isolation, and get the care they need during the global pandemic.
WAIT! Don’t buy your 2021 calendars yet, Eldercare is working on a calendar featuring the art of Al Pearce, as shown recently on CTV: vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/victoria-man-w… All proceeds will help support care at the Piercy Respite Hotel for local seniors in need. More details coming soon!
Eldercare would like to extend a huge thank you to Thomas French who, in response to our call for succulents and small plants to bring cheer to long-term care residents experiencing isolation, donated off 3 boxes of beautiful potted plants today. Thank you Thomas!!
Thank you to everyone who came out to support long-term care residents at the Priory with today’s bottle drive in Colwood...especially the people who made two trips! The funds raised will provide a big boost to local seniors in need. Thank you too to Alpine for their support!
Happening tomorrow! Join us at the St. Anthony's Professional Centre tomorrow, Sunday September 13th from 8:30AM - 2:00PM for a (contactless) Bottle Drive for the Priory Hospital.
Do you know a local business with current magazine subscriptions for a waiting room that’s no longer in use? Consider asking them to have their magazines temporarily sent to Eldercare Foundation to help seniors facing isolation in care. 1454 Hillside Avenue, Victoria, BC V8T 2B7
For seniors living in long-term care, it’s often the little things that bring comfort and joy. Eldercare is seeking small succulents, and other low-maintenance potted plants to help support seniors in care. Can you help, or make a donation? gvef.org
COVID-19 has been especially difficult for seniors living in care, cut off from family and the programs they need. Please consider donating your used bottles and cans to help Eldercare Foundation buy new equipment and comfort items for Priory Hospital residents.
86 – The number of virtual visits made possible for local long-term care residents and their families EACH WEEK thanks to cell phones and tablets made possible by Eldercare supporters. More devices are still needed…can you help? Donate today at gvef.org/donate
6 – The average number of times that each senior enrolled in the SAFE Lifeline program needed medical alarm services in 2019. $124 – All it takes to make sure that the SAFE Lifeline program is there to answer 1 more senior’s call. Make your gift today at gvef.org/donate
A gift in your Will to the Eldercare Foundation can provide vital therapy programs to seniors in care who still dream of dancing, moving, creating, and living with dignity. gvef.org/wills-estates/
Every donation, large or small, helps enhance care, comfort and quality of life for our valued elders. Find out the ways in which you can donate and support the Eldercare Foundation: gvef.org/donate/
Protecting the most vulnerable defines who we are. As we see pandemic restrictions begin to ease, we also know that seniors will remain high-risk. Learn more about how you can support us in our response to COVID-19: gvef.org/covid-appeal/
We’ve received several letters from local seniors passing on their COVID-19 payments to help others more in need. Even in challenging times, the generosity of this community never ceases to amaze! Thank you to everyone who has made a donation during this time.
THE SUMMIT IS OPEN! Over this past weekend, @islandhealth staff and volunteers mobilized to move all the residents from Oak Bay Lodge and Mt Tolmie into their wonderful new home at Quadra and Hillside, the Summit. Get a peak inside the new facility: ow.ly/lDh250AusDZ
Happy Canada Day, from us to you!
Today, June 15th, is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. The theme of this year is "Uproot Elder Abuse, Plant a Seed for Change.” Help us grow change and build strong supports for elders in our community. un.org/en/observances…
