Jean Knows the Importance of Caring for Others
Read Mary Jean's story, a former nurse and current resident at Perley Health as told by her beloved niece Paula Moore. "Mary Jean (or as our family simply calls her Jean) is an incredible woman who’s led an extraordinary life of compassion and commitment to those in need. She worked as a nurse for 45 years, volunteered in her off-time, and was determined to be the best person she could be in and out of her nursing uniform."
Long-time community leader heads Perley Health Capital Campaign to improve care for seniors
It's been one year since COVID-19 changed the world. March 11, 2021 was the one-year anniversary of the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Ottawa. Thank you for seeing us through the ongoing pandemic here at Perley Health.
Despite the challenges we face, Perley Health remains resilient
Your commitment saw residents and frontline staff through 2020. And I couldn't be more grateful to have felt your support in every hall and room last year. But if we're going to make real change - today and for the future - we must stay the course we've already set. We must remain resilient and committed to long-term care.

Resident COVID-19 vaccination is already underway, and our old flu buggy cart was in desperate need of an upgrade. Thank you for exceeding our $3000 goal so "the Vac Mobile" can be on the ground with nurses ASAP. The right tools make for a safe and easy process for all.
Thank you for being brave and spreading love through a year of uncertainty!
2020 has been a year of hardship and change, but through the kindness and dedication of individuals like you, Perley Health perseveres and continues to be the best home possible for seniors and Veterans, like Jean-Louis and Marjorie.

I’m so blessed to be here at Perley Health with Marjorie, my extraordinary wife. We’ve lived all over Canada, travelled extensively, raised three wonderful children and enjoyed our best life in retirement. But as Marjorie developed dementia, I knew it would take more than me to give her the best care possible – which is why I hope you read our story.
