Helen is 90 years young and will stay in her home as long as she can, but says Copernicus Lodge is her first choice of where to live when she needs it.

Helen says she’s been to many tea parties and remembers visiting her mother there when she needed care. She also still visits her sister-in-law when she can. “I remember thinking what a great idea it was to build Copernicus Lodge. It’s a wonderful place for those who are older and alone, and the staff at Copernicus Lodge are kind and helpful. It feels good to give to one of my favourite places.”
