 Loyola
Arrupe Centre for Seniors
Because you give .
. . smiles are wider.
The residents of ShareLife-funded
Loyola Arrupe Centre for Seniors are living proof that your
donation does make a difference in someone’s life. Rose, 69, says
ShareLife’s support of Loyola Arrupe helps her and other seniors enjoy a
lifestyle they deserve.
ShareLife funding supports programs at
the Centre for those living in residence, as well as for those seniors
who continue to live in the community and drop in to participate. "I
love it here," says Rose, who moved into the Centre about a year ago.
"There’s so much to do in the building – we have a seniors social once a
week, exercise class, they have computer rooms. They give us computer
lessons.
We laugh and we joke and we play
cards. I find all the benefits great. People are always around and if
you need anything they’re there to support you. It’s just great to be in
a safe place with people your own age."
She says living there has enhanced her
quality of life.
"I have a disability and I didn’t feel
comfortable living alone in my house any more. After I saw (Loyola
Arrupe) I knew this is where I wanted to be.
I still have my independence, but it’s
comforting to know that if something goes wrong there is a pager number
to call and someone is always on staff.
You’re not alone. This place may not be here if it
wasn’t for the support of people who donate to ShareLife." |
The
staff are very caring
and I've made a lot of
friends here. I am asked if I won a million dollars, would I move
from the
