Residents of Broadmead Care in Saanich will sleep a little better after a hefty donation by the Rotary Club of Victoria.

The club donated $10,000 to purchase six “pressure release” mattresses for the Broadmead Veterans Memorial Lodge. Pressure mattresses are designed to assist in the prevention and management of bedsores.
