Abigail and Henry had been residents at Light of Hearts Villa for five years and both had just turned 94 years old. It was a time when they should have been enjoying their days together. Instead, even after a lifetime of careful planning and preparation, they were facing the prospect of outliving their financial resources.
They were anxious about their remaining years and how this situation would affect them and their family. They were afraid of what was ahead.
Each year dozens of residents like Abigail and Henry find themselves in the same difficult situation. The rising cost of healthcare and reductions in funding from the government are major factors.
For that reason, Light of Hearts Villa created the Sr. Helen Scasny, SC Benevolent Fund to assist those residents in need of support. This fund answers the call to care for those residents at their most vulnerable.
As anyone with an aging parent or family member can attest, there is no greater gift than knowing that your loved one is cared for by compassionate staff in a caring, faith-based environment. It is only through donor support that this vital fund can bring peace of mind to residents in need.
