Quality of life contributions
At the Perley Rideau, we are dedicated to providing excellence in resident care, but your support is the key to making it happen. Each year, donations from generous supporters like you are directed towards the purchase of essential items.
We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the Perley Rideau Foundation in 2008 and helped fund the following:
$130,760 funded Creative Arts Services and continued to provide our 200 community residents with arts and crafts, music and dance therapy.
$7,500 helped maintain the bursary and education fund for our staff.
$40,000 was used to purchase new furniture and equipment like bedside tables, lifts, tub chairs, and towel warmers, and new blinds for resident lounges.
$20,316 subsidized transportation services so more people could attend the Day Program. 
$3,000 was used to support the Summer Youth Program for young people who come to the Centre to volunteer and help our residents.
$65,500 was used to widen entrances to the Perley, Ottawa and Gatineau buildings and for the Ottawa Residence patio project.
$21,000 was used for recreational activities such as a shuffle board, movies, plays, entertainment and a movie screen and projector.
$12,000 was used to purchase commercial ice water machines for residents.
