More than 1,000 seniors call Charles E. Smith Life communities home. In a variety of living options, they find independence, compassionate care and outstanding rehabilitation. Charitable donations support quality care, help us transform our care environment through new construction and renewal of existing buildings, and enhance our endowment for a secure future. Contributions help us bridge the gap between public reimbursements for Medicaid residents and the actual cost of care, and help fund growth in our programs and services.
