he Labdara Nursing Home is proud to celebrate its
10th anniversary this year. Labdara has maintained its
excellent reputation as a full-care nursing facility - for 90
residents - because of its continued success in providing
a culturally sensitive environment, a highly trained and
skilled nursing staff as well as specialized nutritional
care services, life-enrichment and social programs. The
facilities for the comfort and safety of its residents are
continually improving. For example, the first Golden
Gala event raised sufficient funds to build a beautiful
and functional portico that has enhanced the safety and
communal spirit of its residents. Since Labdara is the only
Lithuanian long-term-care facility in Canada, it is very
much in demand in the community. With your support,
it will continue to provide exceptional professional and
personal care to all its residents.
Your donation will provide many improvements as well as
electric beds and lifts for the safety and comfort of not only
the Nursing Home residents but also the Labdara staff.

elcome!
On behalf of Turner & Porter and the Porter Family, it is
our pleasure to once again be the Presenting Sponsor for
the Labdara Golden Gala on the occasion of their 10th
Anniversary.
Turner & Porter continues to value our friendship with
the Lithuanian community, which spans over sixty years.
Through honoured service to families in need and various
cultural events, we have been priviledged to serve the
Lithuanian community.
We look forward to helping to contribute, along with
all of you, in enriching the lives of the residents of the
Labdara Nursing Home, by addressing the need for
special electric beds and lifts. These beds will not only
help the residents maintain their independence and
dignity but also enhance their quality of life.
Thank you to the Gala committee for all your tireless
efforts and careful planning of this wonderful event.
Please accept my
very best wishes for a
memorable evening
of celebration and
continued prosperity
and success in your
community.
Best Wishes,
Jeffrey Porter

Sveikinimas slaugos namams:
Mieli "Labdaros" fondo valdybos nariai, slaugos namų gyventojai, darbuotojai!
Atrodo, dar taip neseniai mes visi rūpinomės slaugos namų statybos reikalais, džiaugėmės užbaigtais
darbais ir pirmųjų gyventojų įkeldinimu, o šiandien jau praėjo visas dešimtmetis nuo įkurtuvių dienos.
Malonu matyti slaugos namuose gerai prižiūrimus ir patenkintus rūpestinga globa jų gyventojus.
Džiaugiamės rūpestingu ir atsakingu administracijos, visų darbuotojų ir ypač “Labdaros” fondo
valdybos darbu, stengiantis, kad kasdieninis gyvenimas slaugos namuose būtų jaukus ir įdomus, kad
darbuotojams būtų geresnės darbo sąlygos,o mūsų seneliams teikiama daugiau įvairesnių paslaugų.
Sveikindami su pirmuoju slaugos namų dešimtmečiu, linkime ilgų sėkmingos veiklos metų, gerų
sumanymų ir energijos juos įgyvendinant.
Skirdami savo laisvalaikį, patirtį ir žinias kitų gerovei, būkite sveiki ir laimingi!
