Programs Supported by Your Donations

Donations to PA OH Gives will support the Good Samaritan Fund for benevolent care at The Ridgewood at Shenango Valley. Through this program, no resident ever has to leave because they've outlived their financial resources.

Commercial insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid do not cover the cost of personal care. As people live longer, some residents discover their savings are no longer enough to meet their care needs. Without help, they could face losing the safety, security, and comfort of the familiar surroundings they call home.

Thanks to the Good Samaritan Fund, residents can remain at The Ridgewood, receiving the same compassionate care and services they depend on each day. Families gain peace of mind knowing their loved one is secure and well cared for.

Last year alone, The Ridgewood provided more than $23,000 in benevolent care to residents in need. Your donation helps neighbors in our community live with security, comfort, and peace of mind in the home they know and love.

Needs that Cannot beMet without Your Help

The demand for benevolent care continues to grow as residents live longer and the cost of personal care rises with inflation. Without insurance coverage to help, more older adults are exhausting their savings and depending on benevolent care to remain at The Ridgewood. Rising operating expenses also place added strain on the Good Samaritan Fund. Without charitable support, fewer resources are available to help vulnerable residents.
