Programs Supported by Your Donations
The Ridgewood at Shenango Valley's Good Samaritan Fund will directly benefit from donations to PA OH Gives. The Good Samaritan Fund supports benevolent care and is provided to residents who exhaust their financial resources and cannot afford the full cost of their care. This program ensures that no resident ever has to leave The Ridgewood at Shenango Valley because of financial reasons.
Last year, The Ridgewood at Shenango Valley provided more than $124,000 in benevolent care to residents in need. Commercial health insurances, Medicare and Medicaid do not pay for personal care. The burden of the cost rests entirely on the resident. As life expectancy continues to increase, more older adults discover their savings are not adequate for their care needs in their retirement years. These residents are able to continue to receive the same quality care and services at The Ridgewood at Shenango Valley because of the support of generous donors to our Good Samaritan Fund
Needs that Cannot beMet without Your Help
The Ridgewood at Shenango Valley has experienced a significant rise in expenses due to inflation in 2022. Supplies and food costs have increased dramatically. Payroll expenses have also increased to remain competitive and to retain and recruit staff. This means we are even more dependent on fundraising to support The Good Samaritan Fund for benevolent care. Gifts to PA OH Gives will provide peace of mind for residents in need and ensure that all residents who call The Ridgewood at Shenango Valley home are able to enjoy a meaningful life without worry.
