Letter from the Forest Dale Home Foundation

20/12/2020

0 Comments

 
The Forest Dale Home Foundation was formed 10 years ago as a registered non-profit charitable organization. The foundation members are all volunteers from the community who are dedicated to helping residents have a fulfilling life during their stay at Forest Dale Home.

The foundation runs independently from the nursing home’s operating budget. While necessities are mostly covered by government funding, funds required to provide enhancement to the lives of the residents must come from another source. We endeavour to provide these funds.
In the past our foundation has been responsible for purchasing activity supplies, an aquarium, multi-sensory room equipment and a piano, as well as the installation of enhanced Wi-Fi throughout the home. We also were instrumental in the purchase of the Forest Dale van, which is also used as part of the Tele-Drive program.

There are many projects we would like to move forward with but are currently unable to do so. As with many other organizations, we have been unable to fundraise during this difficult time. If you would like to donate to our foundation, you may send a cheque (made out to the Forest Dale Home Foundation) to Forest Dale Home (5869 King Street, Riverside-Albert NB E4H 4B9) or e-transfer to fdhfoundation@forestdalehome.ca. Also, memorial cards are available at most funeral homes. You may also visit the foundation’s webpage for more information at www.forestdalehomefoundation.ca
