Galway Bay fm newsroom – Western Alzheimers has officially opened a new wing in the charity’s residential centre in Athenry.
€230,000 was fundraised by Boston Scientific employees to support the building of the new facility which includes three additional bedrooms and laundry and storage facilities.
The charity partnership ran over two years as part of Boston Scientific’s Charity of the Year programme.
Western Alheimers CEO Pat Holmes said the new wing will allow them to tackle the waiting list for the service.
“Our residential facility in Athenry is a home away from home for many families around Galway and in the West of Ireland; our range of services offer essential respite to family members who may be full or part time carers to those with Alzheimer’s disease. The Boston Wing will enable us to offer this support to even more families in the West of Ireland and we would like to sincerely thank the employees in Boston Scientific for making the Boston Wing a reality through their hard work and fundraising efforts.”
