ANDY's House Receives Major Donation
June 21, 2013, Port Carling - Canada is known for generous, caring people. Brock and Willa Napier are two of these special people who quietly go about bettering the lives of others. They are the foundation for Community Care in Port Carling.
On behalf of the Andy’s House and, our Community as a whole, we extend our heartfelt thanks for their caring, generosity and foresight. Their vision of this wellness centre incorporates three projects that bring much needed levels of health and living care to the people of Central West Muskoka.
While Andy’s House is in its early stage of design, it will ultimately provide about 7,000 sq. ft. of Hospice /Palliative care incorporating 8 units for residents and visiting family members.
Most people express the desire to die at home but sadly, more than 75% actually end up going to hospital to die. Coping at home is not always possible because of limited health care resources available at home and, at the community level. Hospices provide the care the dying need in a homelike environment. They serve both the physical and spiritual needs of residents and family members alike, making sure that this final stage of life is fulfilling and dignified.
As our population continues to age, the need for end of life care will increase and, pressure on the health system here, in Muskoka, will continue to rise. Andy's House and The Brock and Willa Napier Wellness Centre will help fill this need.
Hospice Muskoka is a volunteer driven, not-for-profit organization. They are the people ‘on the ground’ who will be providing the much needed care, here. The Potts Memorial Foundation is proud to partner with them to make the long- time goal of a residential hospice here a reality in Central Muskoka.
The Napier’s have brought this much needed resource within reach. We are standing here, where this wonderful centre will be built. There are no walls yet and we do not have all the funds required to operate the facility.
There is still a lot to be done.
It’s exciting times. We are energized and dedicated to help bring these three projects to Port Carling and look forward to your continued help.
