 Home | Recent News | Farmington | Estate Gift 09 Sep 2007 Estate gift will help Manor provide for those who have outlived financial resourcesPresbyterian Manor of Farmington was the recipient of a generous donation from the Estate of Dorothy Doughty. Jane Hull, executive director of the Presbyterian Manor, accepted the check from Carole Sumpter, niece of the late Dorothy Doughty.
Many will remember long time Farmington residents Glenwood and Dorothy Doughty. Both were temporary residents of the Manor benefiting from respite and rehab stays in their later years.
Sumpter remembers, “After learning of the important needs and the mission of the Good Samaritan Fund, her Aunt Dorothy made numerous and considerable donations to the Good Samaritan Fund throughout her lifetime.”
Hull recalls, “Mr. and Mrs. Doughty were pleased with the care they received during their stays at the Manor. Both were very generous to the Manor during their lifetimes. Mr. Doughty would make his rounds once a week bringing tomatoes and a cheerful hello to many of the residents.”
Mrs. Doughty led a very active life up until her death at the age of 94. She participated in the local and national Republican political scene. She volunteered numerous hours transporting and registering voters and assisting at the local elections. Mrs. Doughty was a member of the Memorial Methodist Church and she enjoyed gardening in her spare time. She was a sharp business woman assisting her husband with the books of their businesses in Farmington and Alaska.
The recent donation from the Estate of Dorothy Doughty will benefit the local Manor residents as Mrs. Doughty requested. Presbyterian Manor of Farmington provides over $600,000 in unreimbursed care each year.
Approximately one in four residents living in assisted living and healthcare centers throughout Presbyterian Manors’ system are, in some way, supported by the Good Samarian Program. Residents’ needs can exceed their available resources. Therefore, Presbyterian Manors relies on charitable contributions to bridge the gap for those residents who have outlived their resources. The Good Samaritan Program has made it possible for residents to continue to live at Presbyterian Manors, regardless of their ability to pay. In Presbyterian Manors’ nearly 60 years of service, not one resident has ever been asked to leave Presbyterian Manor due to their inability to pay.
