Levindale Auxiliary Members Go Above and Beyond Again!

Saying thank you to the members of the Levindale Auxiliary hardly seems like enough. They tirelessly give of their time and talents to make sure that the men and women who call Levindale home and those who depend on Levindale for specialized medical care can enjoy a fulfilling meaningful stay.

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the Auxiliary, there are two major new milestones to benefit residents, patients, visitors and staff. One is the donation of new audio visual (AV) equipment and the other is the expansion of the donor wall at the main entrance.

The first one is a brand new audio visual system. The Auxiliary’s fundraiser in October raised money to upgrade the AV equipment in the town center and museum exhibit area. Because of the Auxiliary’s efforts, the Levindale family is now able to enjoy movies, presentations, programs, games and lots more on a new retractable screen from a new LCD projector using a new upgraded sound system and new wireless microphones so presenters and performers can move around while they entertain.

The equipment also has some behind-the-scenes uses. The Therapeutic Recreation Department is able to send messages, events calendars and more right to resident rooms. These can also be put on a timer.

The second milestone is the addition of a three part extension to the donor wall in the mail lobby of the town center. The donor wall artist, David Bacharach, is installing the new panels. The wall was created as a beautiful, lasting tribute to individuals and families who want to acknowledge someone special, celebrate a simcha (happy occasion) or memorialize a loved one with specially engraved plaques.

The Levindale Auxiliary has been a truly integral part of Levindale since 1899. That’s when members dedicated themselves to enhancing the quality of life of the elderly and disabled by going beyond excellent medical care to focus on the emotional, psychological and spiritual needs of residents, patients and their families. They also support clients of the Belvedere and Pikesville Adult Services Centers.
