Donation to the Foundation

At Dogwood Village of Orange County, our mission is to provide the support, resources, and environment that help every resident maintain or enhance their quality of life. We strive to create a comfortable, safe, and homelike setting where residents feel valued, supported, and cared for by our compassionate staff. Through the generosity of our community and the support of the Dogwood Village Foundation, we can continue enhancing the lives of our residents and providing meaningful experiences that make a difference.

Thanks to the generosity of our Foundation and its supporters, Dogwood Village has been able to complete meaningful projects that enhance residents’ quality of life, including updated shower rooms, a healing garden, a facility bus, room renovations, and raised flower beds. Today, the Foundation continues to make a lasting impact by supporting the next generation of healthcare professionals through nursing scholarships for team members pursuing their LPN or RN credentials.

Dogwood Village proudly displays a Memorial Tree within our facility to honor loved ones and recognize the generosity of those who give in their memory. Each leaf represents a meaningful tribute, celebrating the lives and legacies of those who have made a lasting impact.

All donations are tax-deductible and support residents and staff through the efforts of the Dogwood Village Foundation. If you are interested in making a memorial donation in honor of a loved one, please contact us for more information.

“My dad, Calvin J. Gingrich—a World War II and Korean War Veteran—was cared for at Dogwood Village until his final hospitalization. During his nearly three months there, the staff provided exceptional medical care, therapy, and personal support with dignity, respect, and compassion. The activities team made every effort to include him, and he quickly felt like part of the Dogwood family. Although he never wanted to be in a facility, within days he told me he wanted to stay, saying, ‘Everyone here is so compassionate, helpful, and caring. This is where I need to be.’ Dad wanted to give back to those who cared for him. This donation to Dogwood Village is his way of saying thank you for making his last days the best they could be.”
