Tudor House Personal Care Home has launched a $50,000 fundraising campaign to support the creation of an Alzheimer Memory Garden, aimed at enhancing quality of life for residents living with dementia.
As of mid-June, the Selkirk facility has raised more than $16,700 toward the project, which is part of a broader effort to upgrade its outdoor spaces.
“All donations made go directly to benefiting our residents,” the facility noted in a recent newsletter. “This project also supports workplace wellness and safety for everyone.”
The Memory Garden is being developed alongside the second phase of the care home’s courtyard project. Recent upgrades include the installation of fencing and rubberized flooring, with landscaping, seating, and security cameras to follow.
Tudor House participated in Selkirk’s annual Alzheimer Walk on June 5 as “Team Tudor” and will host a second walk for residents and families on June 23.
Additional improvements at the long-term care facility include new west-side windows, with east-side replacements planned later this year. Staff have also completed plumbing upgrades, installed a new telephone system to improve communication, and added new laundry equipment.
Tudor House, located on Treaty 1 Territory, provides long-term care services to Indigenous Peoples. The home acknowledges Manitoba as the traditional land of the Cree, Ojibway, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation.
“We celebrated all of our nurses during the week of May 12,” the newsletter added. “Thank you to our staff for your continued commitment and support to Tudor House.”
Donations to the Alzheimer Memory Garden campaign can be made directly to the care home.
