We believe that love, life and living matter. The primary purpose in all our care homes and adult day programs is to help everyone live as fully as possible in homelike surroundings, with the opportunity to celebrate a sense of belonging, respect, acceptance, and joy. That’s why our Purpose is To build communities where every person can experience wellbeing and happiness. The donations we receive help us provide enhanced programs and services with compassionate, personalized care.
The Fund Development Office contacts its supporters and members of the Broadmead Care family several times a year to provide news and information about important projects we’re undertaking; ways in which residents, families, and friends can provide support; and to invite you to events.
Frequently Asked Questions
Residents pay a monthly co-payment fee. Isn’t that enough?
Providing 24-hour care for hundreds of veterans, seniors, and adults with disabilities every day requires community support. Funding through resident co-payment fees and from Island Health covers the basics. However, enhancing the quality of life for our residents — through extras like specialized equipment such as overhead lifts, beds, and mattresses; and engaging programs like creative arts, our music & memory program, spiritual care, gardens, and much more — can only be provided with the generous support of people like you.
How much should I give?
Only you can decide how much you wish to contribute. All gifts are very much appreciated — no gift is too small. It is our hope that Broadmead Care will be your top philanthropic priority while you, or your loved one, lives with us. There are always great needs, and we can’t meet those needs without your help. We encourage everyone to give what he or she can. Participation is the key! You can also use our monthly giving program to manage donations all year long.
Can I spread my donation over monthly payments?
Yes. By dividing your annual donation into 12 equal payments, you can fulfill your philanthropic goals while staying within an easier-to-manage budget.
Can my gift be anonymous?
Yes! Please let us know when you make your gift and we will be happy to make sure your name is NOT included in our Annual Report or other donor recognition efforts.
Do you accept gifts of stocks and securities?
We sure do. The Broadmead Care Society can provide you with the appropriate information to ensure that your gift is made easily and efficiently.
My company offers a matching gift program. Can Broadmead Care benefit from this?
Absolutely! Matching gifts can double or even triple your gift to Broadmead Care. Check with your company’s Human Resources office for more information.
Can I direct my donation to a specific home or program?
You have several options, including cash, a cheque made payable to Broadmead Care Society, or a credit card. Make sure you indicate the Care Home or program to which you would like to direct your donation.
Can I leave a gift through my estate (a Legacy Gift)?
A gift through your Will is a personal and wonderful way to support the things you care about most, now and after you are gone. By including a gift in your estate planning, you may significantly reduce the amount of tax payable upon your death.
