The Rosewood Manor Care Foundation was founded in 2000 to provide funding in support of the vision and philosophy of Rosewood Manor. The Foundation has been proactive in raising funds through gala events, grants and community presentations. It also continuously receives donations from families and friends in honour or in memory of a loved one.
Mission
The mission of the Rosewood Manor Care Foundation is: To raise funds to support special programs and services to enhance the quality of care and life for Rosewood Manor residents, their families and our community.
History
The Rosewood Manor Care Foundation is a registered Canadian charity. Amidst funding constraints in the health care sector, Rosewood Manor recognized the value of having its own foundation; one that is dedicated to partnering with the regional health authority by finding funds to enhance and expand the care for the seniors in our community. Since its launch in 2000, the Rosewood Manor Care Foundation (RMCF) has expanded its mission of supporting special projects within Rosewood to also providing support to the community outreach programs offered through Rosewood Manor.
