When memory support resident Ellen T. needed financial support, the family was panicked by the thought they would have to find another place for Ellen to live.

“We were very fortunate Ellen did not have to move when her ability to fulfill her monthly commitment was disappearing. Those we spoke with at Beacon Hill assured us moving would not be an option but helping her stay in “familiar surroundings” was. Because Ellen was in late-stages of Alzheimer Disease, our greatest fear had been moving her out of her comfortable, familiar atmosphere. Beacon Hill was her home, and the fellow residents and staff at Beacon Hill truly became her family.

The Benevolent Care Fund provided the aid necessary in securing mom’s stay through her final days. We were very thankful for this aid, and not once did Beacon Hill come to us, the children, asking for help in the support of mom’s care.”

“After retirement, my husband and I both started working again — right here at Beacon Hill. My role was to help new people get settled in here. My husband was a custodian. We both worked here happily for almost eight years, until my husband passed away from Parkinson’s disease one month before our 56^th wedding anniversary. After a back surgery, I told my kids I wanted to live at Beacon Hill. Because their dad and I worked here for so long, we all knew how well Beacon Hill takes care of their residents. I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else, so it was an easy decision.

That was nine years ago.

I really appreciate the funds. During the Depression, I was young enough to know that my parents would take care of me. Now I know that Beacon Hill will take care of me and that gives me great comfort too.” – Mary K, aged 105
