The mission of the Sunnyside Home Foundation is to secure financial support for the residents and community clients of Sunnyside Home. Sunnyside Home is a facility that provides accommodation, care and services to enhance the well being and quality of life primarily of seniors who are physically frail and/or cognitively impaired. Sunnyside Homes specializes in the care and support of those with Alzheimer’s Disease and chronic psychiatric disorders, and also provides day care programs for the elderly within the Regional Municipality of Waterloo.
The Regional Municipality of Waterloo is building a “first-of-its-kind” Seniors Supportive Housing 30 unit apartment complex on the Sunnyside Home campus.
The Sunnyside Home Foundation is enhancing this project
and is raising the bar for healthy aging in our community
with the addition of a Seniors Wellness Centre. The
Seniors Wellness Centre will promote the physical, mental
and social health of the Sunnyside Home residents, clients
and other seniors living within the Regional Municipality
of Waterloo.
The Kitchener and Waterloo Community Foundation improves the quality of life in Kitchener-Waterloo and the surrounding area, now and for future generations, by building community endowment, by addressing community needs through the providing of grants, and by providing leadership on key community issues.
This year amongst its other projects, the Kitchener
and Waterloo Community Foundation will work with
McMaster University in enhancing the level of service to
be provided to the community through the new Waterloo
Region Campus of the Michael G. DeGroote Medical
School located at the intersection of King Street and
Victoria Street in downtown Kitchener.
Through this unique project, the Michael G. DeGroote
Medical School will upgrade the equipment available
for the continuous medical education and professional
development of the medical professionals at the medical
school, and the general community will receive immediate
benefit in the form of more comprehensive “zero cost” clinical medical services using state-of-the-art medical
equipment. Medical students and family practice residents
will work and learn alongside physicians, and together
they will provide additional access to health care for
members of the greater community at large, at no cost to
these community members.
