Many seniors become unable to live alone in their houses even though they don’t require a full-care facility. A residence that allows seniors to be in their own apartments so they can retain some independence, but that provides services and programs, is something to celebrate! St. Matthew’s Bracondale House is that sort of residence. It’s geared toward low-income seniors in west Toronto. Many of its 141 tenants are women; half are over 80 and more than half receive a rent subsidy. Your Mission and Service Fund gifts sponsor a beneficial nutrition program for these seniors. Elderly people, especially those on their own, often don’t eat well. As a result their health suffers, and they end up in care facilities. Residents of St. Matthew’s Bracondale House can make their own meals, but in order to promote healthy living, the residence offers a hot-meal program at lunchtime and suppertime. Residents can take these tasty, nutritious meals back to their rooms or eat together in the dining room. St. Matthew’s Bracondale House also provides social outings, trips to grocery stores, and nutrition counselling to both the residents and the surrounding community. Your gift to the Mission and Service Fund helps support the Seniors Eating Well program at St. Matthew’s Bracondale House. Through M&S we can offer the elderly good meals and the ability to maintain their independence as long as possible. We are a united church! This week, remember in your prayers United Church chaplains ministering in nursing homes and hospitals, and the partners who work with seniors across the country. © 2008 The United Church of Canada/L’Église Unie du Canada.
