NANAIMO — Eden Gardens’ staff are able to continually soften the end-of-life process thanks to a generous donation from the Rotary Club of Nanaimo.
The long-term care facility, which received a $7,500 boost, offers palliative care carts, allowing clients and their families additional comfort and solace during a difficult time.
The carts contain a range of items to improve the quality of life for a resident’s final days, including books, candles, creams, and aromatherapy.
The donation will also go toward funding a permanent gazebo on-site, which will allow residents of the Northfield Rd. complex the chance to enjoy the outdoors year-round.
“We are glad to be able to support Eden Gardens to provide the extra care it gives its residents and families,” said Rotary Club of Nanaimo president Keith MacFarlane.
Eden Gardens is the only not-for-profit care home on the mid Island dedicated exclusively to dementia care services.
The Rotary Club of Nanaimo has actively supported Eden Gardens for more than a decade.
