WARWICK — The members of the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians Division 3, a non-profit charitable organization, are no strangers to the residents at Schervier Pavilion, a 120-bed skilled nursing facility on the Warwick Campus of the Bon Secours Charity Health System.

They bring cheer to Schervier residents with a Christmas caroling program ever year. Recently they found another opportunity to express their caring, love and warmth – in more ways than one.

On Friday, May 4, representatives of the LAOH arrived at Schervier Pavilion with bundles of fleece lap blankets they had crafted as a group project. The visit was a welcome experience for Schervier residents and staff.

The presentation of the blankets was part of the Make This House A Home initiative, an ad hoc committee of the Bon Secours Warwick Health Foundation dedicated to developing and building relationships within the community that enhance quality of life for people whose home is Schervier Pavilion or Mount Alverno Center. Julie Cauda and Deirdre Hamling co-chair Make This House A Home.

The Foundation oversees and helps generate philanthropic support for the Warwick Health Care Campus, which includes Schervier Pavilion, Mount Alverno Center and St. Anthony Community Hospital.
