Touching Lives Campaign Goal $5 Million
The Touching Lives Campaign has a goal of raising $5 million to create a campus of care for seniors.
PHASE ONE will build a new long-term care home with 128 beds, an increase from 65 beds.
PHASE TWO will retrofit our existing facility to create Maison Richelieu with 50 new wellness suites for supportive housing for seniors.
More than $15,000 raised during annual fundraiser
COVID-19 couldn’t keep volunteers and supporters of Foyer Richelieu from rocking.
More than $15,000 was raised from the senior home’s annual Rock-A-Thon fundraiser, which was held May 29.
This year’s event looked a little different than usual.
La population vieillit et c’est particulièrement le cas des Franco-Ontariens. Le gouvernement et les multiples institutions et organismes qui se consacrent aux personnes âgées doivent donc se préparer aux conséquences de ce changement démographique. À Welland, le Foyer Richelieu n’échappe pas à la règle et, au printemps 2018, ce centre de soins de longue durée pour francophones annonçait avoir reçu l’autorisation de passer à une capacité de 128 lits d’ici à 2022.
