Within the last 20 years, rising costs have lead to depleted revenue used to support the Faydene Home for the seniors, established in 1972 as a residence for the elderly who are unable to care for themselves.

The Faydene Methodist Home for senior citizens is located at 15 Deanery Avenue in Kingston. It was purchased in 1972 by the Jamaica district of the Methodist Church from the estate of nursing sister Beatrice McFayden.

Sister Betty, as she was affectionately called, ran the home as a maternity home and day care for toddlers and a training centre for practical nurses,

Today, the residence is home to Methodist senior citizens, as well as aged citizens of other denominations. A new production of CATS, done by the Jamaica Junior Theatre, to be presented today at the Philip Sherlock Centre for the Creative Arts, is intended to raise funds in support of residents of the home who are not in a position to support themselves financially. CATS is a special adaptation of the celebrated musical created by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Situated on quarter acre of land, the home is a pleasant place at which the old can spend their retirement years in comfort.

In the beginning, the residence was intended to be self-supporting, with a nominal fee from the residents and strong support in cash and kind from branches of the Methodist women's leagues.

Changing economic climate has led to new needs, which today's production of CATS will assist in supplementing.
