Efforts We Support
Our Focus
The focus of SASHA is to ensure we align with our vision and mission as we support our community in the following way:
We identify hospice needs through our relationship with hospice administrative and nursing staff and then plan our fundraising projects around those identified needs.
Our programs are designed to honour and support individuals and caregivers in their end-of-life journey; to support living fully until the end.
Support for Foyer Lacombe Hospice
Foyer Lacombe Tub Room Renovation
One of our largest projects to date was the renovation of Foyer Lacombe’s tub room which needed major improvements to make it a comfortable and safe environment for the hospice residents. Through the very generous donations of local service groups we were able to secure funds to make it into a beautiful spa for the hospice patients complete with a soaker tub and a fireplace.
“We received a patient from acute care who had not had a tub bath for 2 weeks. She really missed having her baths. Thanks to the beautiful new spa/bathing room her wish came true! She had a relaxing soaker bath the evening before she passed.” ~ Foyer Lacombe Nurse
Broda Chair Initiative
Our fundraising efforts allow us to provide the “nice to haves” for the Hospice residents and their families. Our donation of two Broda chairs (mobile reclining chairs) allow the clients to leave their room in comfort.
Bariatric Bed Initiative
The Bariatric Bed that we were able to provide to the hospice allows family members to lay with their loved ones, which provides a much-needed comfort.
Recliner Chairs
Each of the ten hospice rooms has been equipped with a comfortable recliner for the resident’s and their guest’s comfort and for families to sleep in during overnight visits.
