Support Us

As one of the first not-for-profit institutions of its kind in the country, Keswick has enjoyed a rich history of philanthropy since opening its doors in 1883.  Thanks to the vision, energy and commitment of the donors and volunteers, Keswick celebrates unparalleled success in providing compassionate, quality care to our residents.

Today, people are living longer, and with the growing demand for a continuum of long-term care services, Keswick seeks funding to remain at the forefront of innovative care.  Gifts made to Keswick are used to support an exceptional and caring staff, advanced medicine and technology, and a warm and inviting facility that is second to none.

Every gift, no matter the size, is greatly appreciated.  Not only does it help Keswick to thrive, it shows the community that those who know Keswick best believe in our mission and want to invest in our future.  Gifts are vital in helping Keswick face the challenges of today and tomorrow.

We hope you will consider a gift to Keswick.

Why Give

Friends of Keswick

Each year, Keswick relies on individual contributions to make a difference in the lives of our residents.  This year’s Friends of Keswick annual campaign will be used to support an array of activities, including an internet café for residents.  Using the hands-on training Keswick provides, residents will be able to comfortably navigate the internet by researching areas of interest, checking the latest news and current events, and using e-mail to stay in touch with family and friends.  In addition to the internet café, residents will enjoy gardening in raised beds, creating masterpieces in the art studio, and listening to guest lecturers and musical performances.  All of these provide therapeutic respite and valuable cognitive stimulation.  Our experienced Recreational Therapy team works hard to inspire our residents to remain active and encourages them to make the most of each and every day.

TRIBUTE PROGRAM

The Tribute Program provides an opportunity for you to recognize and remember a loved one.  During times of sympathy, a gift to the Tribute Program may serve as a memorial.  On happy occasions, it becomes a rewarding vehicle in which to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or special event.  The Tribute Program is an extraordinary way to express feelings of remembrance, recognition and gratitude.  And you can be assured that your gift is at work every day bringing compassionate care to Keswick residents.
