The Rainycrest Auxiliary has made a big $27,068.33 donation to fund a new therapeutic bathing system that will help caregivers bathe residents with mobility difficulties.
“The continued support of the Rainycrest Auxiliary makes a meaningful difference for our residents, staff and home,” Holly Kaemingh, Riverside Health Care’s director of fundraising, said in a press release.
“This generous donation has funded an important piece of equipment that enhances resident comfort, dignity and safety, while supporting quality care for individuals of all mobility levels. We are incredibly grateful for the Auxiliary’s ongoing commitment to Rainycrest and the residents we serve.”
The contribution fully funded the purchase and installation of an Arjo Rhapsody recumbent bathing system, a specialized therapeutic tub designed to enhance comfort, dignity, accessibility, and safety for residents of all mobility levels during bathing and personal care.
The system features a unique keyhole-shaped design that improves caregivers’ access to the upper body, supporting ergonomic workflows and enabling more effective therapeutic bathing. The system is compatible with hygiene lifts and is designed to accommodate a wide range of mobility and care needs.
The new bathing system has already been installed and is now in use at Rainycrest.
The Rainycrest Auxiliary is a volunteer-run charitable group that supports residents of Rainycrest Long-Term Care Home in Fort Frances. Through fundraising, donations, and the operation of the on-site Tuck Shop, the Auxiliary provides comfort items, furnishings, equipment, and social activities that enhance residents’ daily lives. All proceeds and contributions go directly toward improving the quality of care and creating a more home-like environment within the facility.
