What makes a good organization great?

At ERS, a primary factor is charitable support. Gifts from generous friends make so much possible, above and beyond that which rents, fees, and subsidies cover.

Charitable gifts empower us to fulfill our Mission Statement:

Generous donors allow us to be strategic and forward-thinking so that we can realize our 2030 Vision:

As recognized inclusive and innovative leaders, ERS is the preferred choice and trusted resource for older adults along the full economic continuum.

KATE'S STORY

Two weeks before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Marjorie P. Lee residents Kate and Jim Powers received the unthinkable news – their daughter had been diagnosed with a Stage 4 brain tumor.  Reeling, they were embraced with overwhelming support from every corner of Marjorie Lee – from Tina in housekeeping to Laura Lamb, President and CEO, and many others.  

In Kate’s words, “It was a sacred experience … to be in that place of facing the unknown, and to be surrounded by so much tenderness.”

Tragically, Anne Powers lost her battle with cancer 13 months later. Please take a few quiet moments to listen to Kate’s reflections on the compassion that was showered on her and Jim as staff, friends and neighbors walked alongside them in their darkest hour.
