Opportunities for Giving

Every day, we are presented with opportunities to make a difference in the quality of life in our community and investing today in the Lima Convalescent Home Foundation is an investment for tomorrow. Perhaps there is no greater opportunity than one that allows us to give back to some special individuals, the elderly. After all, their many years of contributions have built and strengthened our community as we enjoy it today. Preserving the dignity of old age and providing a level of care that is comforting for the elderly is the heart of the Lima Convalescent Home Foundation mission.

What is the Friends of the Foundation?

The "Friends of the Foundation" was created to perpetuate the Foundation’s Endowment Fund. We have always depended on the kindness and generosity of our friends. It is important for those of you who have not chosen to give, and for those who have given, to consider giving again. Your support is crucial. It is and investment that will make a real difference in your life and the lives of those you love. You can make a tax-deductible gift to the Lima Convalescent Home Foundation through Estate Planning, Charitable Gift Annuities, Memorial Contributions and/or becoming a member of the "Friends of the Foundation."

What is the Endowment Fund?

This fund was developed to provide "Resident Care Grants" for residents whose private assets no longer cover the cost of living at Lima Convalescent Home. Over the years, The Endowment Fund has provided over millions in charitable care to residents of the Lima Convalescent Home. On August 18, 2004 we became certified to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, so the need for Resident Care Grants ceased to exist. Gifts made to the Endowment Fund now are used to improve the quality of care for all our residents. Some examples would be updated room furnishings, improvements to our Rehabilitation Center and Dementia Unit and the purchase of a new 14-passenger van.

How do I become a member of the
"Friends of the Foundation?"

It's simple! You can become a member of this distinguished organization while helping to make a difference in the quality of life in our community for the elderly by a modest annual contribution of $100.00 or more to the Endowment Fund.
