Spring Flowers Grow at Jenkins Senior Living Community

How does your garden grow? At St. Elizabeth Rehabilitation and Nursing Center at the Jenkins Senior Living Community, the answer is with help of M&T bank volunteers. For the seniors who have memory impairment, Noah’s Place Garden provides a secure tranquil setting to enjoy the outdoors. The resulting oasis required extended hours of painting benches, weeding and planting flowers beds, washing concrete and routine pruning. While cultivating things that grow comes naturally to these financiers, investing time and energy for the benefit of others shows they treasure the richer things in life.

“We are fortunate that M&T Bank encourages its employees to become very involved in community service projects, and we particularly enjoy projects that help the communities that are adjacent to our Montgomery Park office in southeast Baltimore. One of our favorite projects is maintaining Noah’s Place Garden at St. Elizabeth’s, since it gives the residents and their staff a brighter and more colorful place to enjoy the outdoors,” says Robert Gerth, M&T Bank, Group Vice President-Central Operations.

The Jenkins Senior Living Community includes both residential and health care services that address the changing needs of seniors as they age. Maryland’s first and only senior living community to offer a full continuum of senior care for those of low to moderate income, the goal of Jenkins Senior Living Community is to give seniors the opportunity to “age in place” by providing an array of services on the campus.
