Residents and staff celebrated the receipt of a $500,000 gift from the Charles H. Farnsworth Charitable Trust towards our Expansion and Renovation Project. Construction is scheduled to start this fall. Representatives of the Charles H. Farnsworth Charitable Trust and its Trustee, Bank of America, visited the Mount Pleasant Home on July 13 to present the check for the Home’s renovation and expansion project, intended to provide housing and supportive services to an expanded group of needy elders.
