Information on our foundation giving

Foundation Giving Options

General Fund

Gifts given to the General Fund support projects and programs on campus including health and wellness and capital improvements. The funds are directed wherever the need is the greatest to improve the lives of our residents.

Charity Care Fund

A gift to the Charitable Care Fund helps qualified residents remain in their home despite outliving their financial resources. Many other senior living communities request a resident to find other living arrangements when experiencing financial hardship. As a result, moving creates undue heartache for the resident and their family. Your gift offers a new lease on life and a boost in happiness knowing that home will always be home during their final years.

Memory Care Fund

Gifts directed to the Memory Care Fund support special care for individuals with diminishing memory who reside in Abbey Lane. Funds are used to enrich their quality of life through programs, resources, and accommodations.
