Go Team!

Give me a “S”…

Give me a “T…

Give me a “J”…

…okay so you get the idea!  I am cheering for St. Joseph Manor.  But why?  Is it because of the compassionate care?  Is it because of the short-term and rehabilitation services provided?  Is it because of the fabulous food they serve (well maybe a little)?  No, not for any of these reasons am I cheering St. Joseph Manor today.  I am cheering about the wonderful things the Manor does because they are the right thing to do, not because we get paid to do them.

Did you know that since 1997, St. Joseph Manor has a wonderful Social Accountability Program?  This report tracks all of the things the Manor does because they are the right thing to do, and the list is amazing.  Over the years, the Manor has given back thousands and thousands of dollars in non-billed services to those financially in need, education along with others.  Below is some of what they have done.

·        Collecting food donations from local stores and distributing them to needy organizations within our community such as the Caffrey Towers, Campello High Rise, Crosby Gardens and the Dorn Davies Senior Center.

·        Collaborating with a variety of schools, to provide on-the-job training and instruction.

·        Offering a Caregiver Support Group at our Mater Dei Adult Day Health Program. The group meets once a month and addresses a variety of topics and issues of concern to care-givers. This group is open to the community.

·        Providing a full breakfast to our adult day health clients which is not required by regulations.

·        Offering other benefits to our community such as: free Notary services, furniture, clothing and equipment donations to needy organizations.

This is why I am cheering on St. Joseph Manor today!  So help me cheer on St. Joseph Manor and its continued focus and commitment to education, quality health care, and responding to the needs of our community. 

PS-The Manor is holding a food drive during Lent.  Please bring in non-perishable food items to the drop off boxes at either entrance to our home and they will be donated to a local food pantry for those in need.

Go, St. Joseph Manor, Go!!!

Until next time,

Miss Manor
