Nor-Wood Life Care NFP
“. . . enhancing the independence and well-being of older adults.”
NOR WOOD PARK HOME | NOR WOOD PARK SENIORS NETWORK | NOR WOOD PARK FOUNDATION
2004
Nor-Wood Life Care NFP, originally founded as the Norwegian Old People’s Home Society in 1896, is a
not-for-profit organization that focuses its efforts on “enhancing the independence and well-being of
older adults.” We exist to serve our community of older adults through Norwood Park Home, our
residential and health care campus, the Norwood Park Seniors Network, our community outreach
program that provides in-home services and transportation, and the Norwood Park Foundation, which
raises funds to support our mission.
A Message from the
Chairman of the Board
My acquaintance with Norwood Park Home began nine years ago through Ryan McKenzie, a member of the Board of Directors.
Ryan had been on the Board for five years and was excited about the mission of this 100+-year-old not-for-profit organization.
His commitment was contagious, and I agreed to get involved. Since that time, I have been privileged to see first hand the
exemplary care and compassion that employees provide to our older adult community, not only as Board Chairman, but also as
a concerned grandson.
Three of my grandparents have become Norwood Park Home residents. First was my grandfather, Frank Heckler, who resided at
NPH for four years. His wife, Sophie Heckler, and my maternal grandmother, Marcella Lain, followed him a few years later. I see
in them and the other residents the reason for my continued dedication to the mission of Nor-Wood Life Care NFP (NWLC).
As Chairman of the Board, I, and my fellow Board members, have a rare opportunity to impact the lives of future generations of
older adults. In 2004, we continued developing ambitious plans for repositioning the Norwood Park Home campus. With the
guidance of our strategic plan, we took a big step toward that end when NWLC acquired three adjoining residential properties.
It was difficult for our conservative Board to come to grips with this acquisition. However, the long-term benefit of owning the
additional property and the flexibility it allows for renovating current buildings without disrupting many of our residents was an
overwhelming argument in support of our decision.
The Board ended 2004 fully committed to a project that will meet the needs of older adults in our community. Our goal is to
make the renovated campus a renewed source of pride for our community as well as the historic Norwood Park neighborhood
by expanding the service continuum to include independent living. We believe this opportunity will further enhance our mission
of caring as we continue to promote independence, dignity and well-being for future generations.
As we strive to meet the challenges of a growing number of older adults, it is very gratifying to serve with Board members who
are motivated by the mission of Nor-Wood Life Care NFP. I thank each of them personally for their commitment to the future of
our organization.
Sincerely,
Mark Heckler
Chairman of the Board
Sophie, Marcella and the
other residents and clients
are reasons Mark continues
his dedication to the mission
of Nor-Wood Life Care NFP.

Dear Friends,
Welcome to the Nor-Wood Life Care (NWLC) Annual Report for 2004. Every year we try to find a new
way to tell the inspiring story of our 108-year old not-for-profit organization and the growing number of
older adults in our community. This year, we have chosen to tell you of our mission of “enhancing the
independence and well being of older adults” through their stories of triumph, determination, peace of
mind, joys and hopes for the future and why life should be rich in blessings and joy at every age.
This year alone we served over 450 older adults in partnership with 220 employees some of whom
have dedicated their entire career to serving the residents at Norwood Park Home. There are also the
160 volunteers who bring that extra special touch to brighten the day of NPH residents and NPSN inhome clients, and provide the labor for fundraising efforts or running the gift or thrift shop. Of course,
without our donors and their generous support for Norwood Park Foundation our mission would not be
possible. Their many gifts bring essential support and are a source of strength and stability, helping to
provide more than $1.4 million in charitable care and services to older adults and over $200,000 in
improvements to promote the highest quality care.
The big story for the year is the progress made in providing for future generations. The acquisition of
three properties on the block will ensure NWLC’s long-term mission in a changing market by giving the
strategic planning team the space to reposition the Home into a Continuing Care Retirement Community
(CCRC). We now have the flexibility to design and stage needed renovations with less interruption to
those who live on and around our campus. The CCRC will also provide a new alternative for a growing
number of seniors who will need independent living options and services of the highest quality designed
to promote independence, dignity and well-being.
There were many other accomplishments in 2004-from the perfect inspection report Norwood Park
Home earned from the State of Illinois to the burgeoning in-home care giving services provided by the
Norwood Park Seniors Network, and record setting gifts to the Norwood Park Foundation. These are only
a few of the highlights you will find sprinkled throughout this report.
I would like to thank the Board for their leadership and the many hours they volunteered to make the
decisions that are guiding our long-term vision for a campus that will serve the future needs of the next
generation. And, a very special thanks to our donors for their many gifts and to those who remembered
NWLC with a bequest. Planned gifts, often in the form of a bequest, are vital and enable us to look
beyond today, while also helping to provide essential support for residents who have exhausted their
funds so they might continue to enjoy the opportunities for independence and dignity that Norwood Park
Home offers.
On a personal note, I had the opportunity to see Nor-Wood Life Care and
Norwood Park Home from another perspective when my father
suffered a stroke. I would like to thank the staff for the excellent
care and effective rehabilitation services they provide to all
our residents, including my father, Allen Haber.
We look forward to working with you for the
continued success of Nor-Wood Life Care in the
coming year.
With my appreciation and good wishes,
Allen Haber joins his
daughter, Marcia, for a
fun-filled afternoon at
the Annual Picnic.

Chief Executive Officer
Forging Ahead...
To know Joe Schultz is to know a man of perseverance. Two years ago, Joe was
admitted to the hospital to help regulate his Parkinson’s Disease. Like many older
adults, spending weeks in a hospital weakened his body, and he required a great
deal of therapy to regain his strength.
Coming to Norwood Park Home was part of the recuperation process after
his hospital stay. Norwood Park Home’s team of therapists spent countless
hours working with Joe to get him back on his feet and out of the
wheelchair. “The therapists were tough and wouldn’t give up,” says Joe.
“I lifted weights and walked on the treadmill. I hadn’t worked this hard
in years!”
Joe’s determination paid off, and he was able to move into Assisted Living. Today,
he prides himself on being able to get out and about. Joe spends every morning
walking around the neighborhood, thinking to himself, “Norwood Park Home gave
me a second chance at independence. I’m really a lucky guy.”
Joe Schultz is one of the
many success stories at
Norwood Park Home.
Norwood Park Home Highlights
A “no deficiencies” inspection report of Norwood Park Home was issued by the Illinois Department of Public Health during its
annual licensure survey, placing NPH in the top 10 percent of long-term care communities in the State of Illinois.
In response to our Customer Service surveys, interior directional signage was improved throughout all buildings to assist
residents and visitors in locating rooms and offices, as well as increasing additional visitor parking 12 spaces by reallocating
and reconfiguring existing spaces. Additionally, the main lobby reception area underwent a change to become more
customer-service focused. The front desk is now staffed with two full time receptionists. Also, the Resident Services
Department was created to assure the overall quality of all departments.

30 Years and Counting...
Quality service and commitment are hallmarks of these Norwood Park Home employees. Nurses Linda
Klisch and Maureen Schallmoser, certified nurse’s assistant Diane Kielczynski, and maintenance
assistant Tony Medina commemorated more than a century of total service with a group photo.
They all share a personal satisfaction, appreciate a supportive work environment and above all feel a
special bond with the residents and families. None of them ever envisioned working at one place for
30 years, yet all of them reached this milestone within the past year.
“Here, everybody works together,” says Tony, beaming with his infectious smile. “Residents enter
Norwood Park Home as strangers, we make friends with them and they become part of our extended
family.”
Linda and Maureen echo similar sentiments. “Helping family members and our residents is very
satisfying,” they say. “At the end of the day, we see the results of our dedication.”
Diane says caring for residents
makes her “feel good. At the
end of the day, I know I
helped people a lot. It’s
a great feeling, and
one I wouldn’t trade
for anything.”
Linda, Maureen, Diane
and Tony reminisce
about the past 30
years at Norwood
Park Home.
Norwood Park Home Highlights
The employee turnover rate remained steady at 29 percent, enabling the Home to maintain one of the
lowest rates in the industry. Achieving special recognition were Linda Klisch and Maureen Schallmoser,
Registered Nurses, both celebrating 30-year anniversaries, while Zenaida Capule, Food Service Aide, and
Marilyn Grandt, Kitchen Supervisor, were recognized for 20 years of service. Additionally, 35 employees
achieved Perfect Attendance for 2004, the largest number in years.
We accepted participation in the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) from the
U.S. Labor Department Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Illinois Department
of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) for “achieving excellence in safety and health.”

Happy Again...
The thought of Genevieve Dziak living at home with her increasing dementia “concerned me greatly,” says
her son, Charles, a retired Chicago police officer. “At home, my mom was not exercising and had no social
interaction. Advancing dementia was also compromising her mental and physical abilities.” After agonizing
over a decision, Charles began looking for a better environment for his mom. He searched the Internet and
saw Norwood Park Home was repeatedly rated as one of the best in the state for quality care. After his
tour, he commented, “As a police officer I’ve been in just about all the homes in the city, and I was really
impressed by how spotless Norwood Park Home was. It also had a great, homey feeling.”
Genevieve moved to Norwood Park Home five months ago. “My mother’s gained 10 years to the
positive,” he says. “Before moving in, she looked like a wilted flower. Now, she has friends and is
a talking machine.” Charles visits during meals, joining in conversations and laughter with
her tablemates. “She’s walking so much better, and even having fun again. It’s great to
see her happy. Now, I can sleep at night.”
Charles and his mother, Genevieve, are
often seen together, laughing and
enjoying each other’s company.
Norwood Park Home Highlights
Our Memory Support Program was enhanced to meet the needs of the current residents. Two changes were made to maximize the
safety and security for memory-impaired residents, including increasing the areas for the Wandergard system and painting two
murals on the elevators of the Memory Support Units that mask them as elevators and create a serene environment. A unique
addition to the program was the creation of a sensory stimulation area, established a calming sanctuary for residents.
NPH residents hopped aboard our buses to take many cultural trips, including visits to the new Hindu Temple Shree Swaminarayan
Mandir in Bartlett and partaking in the Seurat and the Making of “La Grande Jatte” exhibit at the Art Institute. NPH residents also
viewed the “Splendors of China’s Forbidden City” exhibit at the Field Museum and took a powerboat trip down the Fox River.

Our New Home...
The eras of the ‘60s and ‘70s were heydays for Dorothy and Larry Frykholm. They led
busy lives, Dorothy as a Girl Scout leader for the largest troop in Chicago, and Larry as
an exhibitor for some of his commercial artwork at the Art Institute of Chicago. Years flew
by, and times changed. Eventually, the responsibilities of maintaining a home became
increasingly difficult. Their family urged them to “face reality and move to Norwood Park
Home.” The supportive environment eased their transition, enabling them to live life
again like they did earlier. “The employees and other residents welcomed us. They made
us feel important,” says Dorothy. “They are all so nice.”
Today, Dorothy is the “mother hen” on her Assisted Living floor, taking the
lead as she did during her days in scouting and encouraging other residents
to get involved. “We really enjoy the art programs,” she says of the
many events they attend together. Larry says, “They remind me of
the good old days when I was a commercial artist.” Dorothy adds,
“We also love attending the parties. They’re a ball.” The
Frykholms are truly glad they chose to come to Norwood Park
Home. “We wanted to be together, and Norwood Park Home
made it possible. We couldn’t be happier.”
Norwood Park Home Highlights
Our Activities Program continued to provide unique and innovative programming. Norwood Park Home
was proud to host a day-long visit by Illinois Poet Laureate Kevin Stein with residents. His visit featured a
reading of his poetry along with resident readings and recitations. Norwood Park Home also participated in
a year-long study with Big Apple Circus, sponsored by the Rothschild Foundation, that included a series
of professional entertainers. Norwood Park School continued to partner with NPH on intergenerational
programming monthly projects throughout the year.
Residents, employees and community members displayed their creative talents at the 2nd Annual Art Fair
Exhibit that featured creative artwork, woodwork, handiwork, writing, poetry, and photography.

Reaching Out...
The Norwood Park Seniors Network (NPSN) was established in 1994 and began one client at a time. Wallis
Giesinger, of Edison Park, was one of the first to try the services. She read about the new organization in the
Edison-Norwood Times Review, called immediately, and became a charter member. Wallis joined primarily for
the social outings. “I wanted someplace to go, something to look forward to,” she says. Wallis began using
other services as needed. “When I burned my foot, NPSN delivered meals to my home. They also
picked me up at home when I needed a ride to the hospital for therapy.” NPSN’s handyman service
provided added help. “They painted, installed a countertop, cleaned gutters, fixed a fence, and did
all sorts of minor electrical and plumbing work,” she says. “I could count on them.”
Ten years later, Wallis still looks forward to social luncheon outings at different restaurants, comparing
them to “getting together with old friends.” The Network also grew to become a good friend. “After my
husband died 10 years ago,” she reflects, “I made two calls -- to my priest and to the Norwood Park Seniors
Network.”
Wallis exclaims, “Joining the Norwood Park Seniors Network was the best move I made. It took me out
of the house, made life fun and kept me independent.”
Wallis is one of the many
clients NPSN has helped
throughout the years.
Norwood Park Seniors Network Highlights
The Rent-A-Daughter Program continues to expand and achieved a 40 percent increase in caregiver hours.
Ten Norwood Park Seniors Network members chose to become new residents at Norwood Park Home.
Twenty-three social outings for NPSN members were held, providing socialization
and lessening isolation for community residents.
Over 9,000 hot, nutritious meals were delivered in Norwood Park and surrounding communities to NPSN
clients, and 760 seniors were picked up at their door with NPSN’s door-to-door transportation service.

Volunteers Bringing Joy and Goodies...
When Mildred Weis became a resident in 2001, she introduced her son, George, and friend Wayne
Zischke to their new family at Norwood Park Home. “We saw how much Mildred loved it here, right
from the first day. It was easy to become more involved,” George reflects. Their road to volunteerism
began slowly. Wayne laughs, “At first, we just helped with little things and some special events. Before
long we were volunteering for the picnic, dances, spaghetti dinner, and even dressing up as the Easter
Bunny, and Santa Claus.” For the past three years, they also served on the Gala Committee, selling
ads and soliciting auction items.
The Traveling Gift Cart was an additional activity they started more than a year ago. Now every
Tuesday they take the cart out and around to the different areas of Norwood Park Home. “The cart is
an attention grabber,” says George, who is surprised at the number of residents who know him.
“Residents wait in the hall for us. We listen to their problems, share stories, hear about their lives,
and, oh yes, sell a few goodies.”
Norwood Park Home is very thankful for the efforts of Wayne,
George, and the myriad of other volunteers who donate their
time to our community. Wayne and George are thankful,
too. “We’ve been very lucky in life, and this gives us a
chance to give back to a great place with
an outstanding staff,” says Wayne.
“Laughing and talking with residents is
like being with our own families.”
Wayne and George are out and
about wheeling around goodies
and spreading cheer.
Volunteer Highlights
Volunteers provided a total of 16,600 hours of service. They brought comfort and
joy into the lives of many by visiting and sharing with our residents, participating in
activities and special events, assisting in the gift and resale shops, and delivering
hot meals to seniors in the community.
The Board of Directors, comprised of 18 individuals, donated a total of 1,110 volunteer
hours in meetings to govern Nor-Wood Life Care NFP.

Best Friends...
Izzy Hinkes, NPH volunteer pooch, spends her day as family pet to 200 residents.
Many residents, like Henry Walter, reminisce about their favorite dog when Izzy comes to visit. Henry came to
Norwood Park Home last year after a stroke and the two quickly bonded. Ruth, his wife of 52 years, states, “Izzy
gives Henry warmth and comfort.” Ruth continues, “The look in Henry’s eyes tells me that he’s as comfortable
petting Izzy as when he was home - just like the days Penny, our favorite dog, would cuddle next to him on the
couch and lay her head in his lap.”
“Izzy loves her job. She comes in tail wagging ready to get to work,” says Trish Hinkes,
Izzy’s “mom” and Executive Director of the Norwood Park Foundation. “When the
residents see her, their faces light up. There is often a little friendly competition to see
whom Izzy will go to first.”
“Pet therapy is one of the most progressive ways to enhance care,” explains
Serena Worthington, Activities Director about the benefits of pet therapy. “It
gives the residents opportunities to nurture, and provides a homelike
environment.” Serena continues, “Izzy also has lots of companions when she
comes to visit. Cuddles the bunny, Holmes and Watson the inseparable dog
brothers, a whole slew of parakeets, and rescue greyhounds. Many families
also bring in their pets to visit as well.”
At the end of the day, Izzy is tired from all the attention she has received.
The next morning, however, Izzy is always the first in the car, excited to
come back and visit her 200 friends.
Jim Duffin with volunteer pooch,
Izzy, share a special moment.
Community Highlights
Nor-Wood Life Care assisted the Norwood Park Chamber of Commerce & Industry by hosting the annual Pumpkin Fest.

and was attended by 100 participants.
Community neighbors were invited to attend six lectures in the Timely Talk series that focused on aromatherapy,
finance, crime prevention, music thantology, Medicare, and wellness.

Financial Overview
Nor-Wood Life Care NFP continued to be fiscally sound in 2004. Financial
success was due primarily to the increased number of Medicare residents, a
strong return on investments, and donations of over $1 million. As a result, NorWood Life Care was able to deliver over $1.4 million in charity care and services
to the residents of Norwood Park Home (NPH) and Norwood Park Seniors
Network (NPSN)-this represents an increase of $100,000 over 2003.
Nor-Wood Life Care investments generated approximately $600,000 in income
for the year, cash that was greatly needed for planning for the future. Together
with past donations, these funds were used to perform necessary building
repairs and equipment purchases, as well as the purchase of three adjoining
properties on our block. As a result of all transactions during the year, NWLC had
a positive cash flow of over $400,000, and obtained financing through a low
interest tax-exempt loan that will be repaid as part of the future building project.
For Norwood Park Home, the number of total resident days declined 1.7 percent
in 2004, despite increased marketing efforts by staff. However, fee revenue
increased by 7.8 percent, due primarily to a 47 percent increase in the number
of higher income Medicare Days. Despite careful monitoring, operating
expenses increased by 4 percent. Wages and benefits, which comprise 76
percent of total operating expenses, increased 3.94 percent. The largest nonwage expenditure was due to a 33 percent increase in property and liability
insurance premiums, despite the fact that NPH has never experienced anything
over a minimal claim. Although the State restored 3 percent of the six dollar per
day of the 2003 reimbursement cut, Medicaid still pays about $40 dollars per
day less than the cost of care, further challenging the budget.
The Norwood Park Seniors Network continued to increase services to older
adults, through the home delivered meal program, transportation services, and
the in-home care program. As a result, program revenues increased by 18
percent. The Rent-a Daughter in-home care service showed the largest
increase, doubling its revenue from 2003 to 2004. The Network performed more
efficiently in 2004, reducing its need for subsidy from the Norwood Park
Foundation by 36 percent. In addition, the Seniors Network was the number two
referral source for Norwood Park Home, with 10 NPSN clients entering Norwood
Park Home. NPSN continues to make great strides in the community, addressing
the needs of older adults who remain independent in their homes.
In 2004, donors contributed $1,181,121 to the Norwood Park Foundation (NPF)
for projects and programs as well as essential support for residents who have
exhausted their funds. The Foundation conducted a number of successful events
and received monetary responses to appeals from over 842 friends and donors.
The annual gala netted over $75,000. Most significantly, several long-time
friends recognized the significant contribution Nor-Wood Life Care has made to
the lives of thousands of older adults over the last 108 years, and bequeathed
over $960,000 in 2004. Philanthropy is an important source of strength and
stability for Nor-Wood Life Care. We are grateful for the generous estate gifts
and contributions that will assist in sustaining our mission and continued ability
to serve the growing number of older adults in our community.

The Legacy Society was created to honor friends who have made a

Society Wall of Honor was unveiled.
We gratefully acknowledge the following members of The Legacy
Society for their personal commitment and belief in our mission to
provide a broad continuum of quality care to older adults in future
years. If your name is not listed and you have included Norwood

We believe in...
Providing older adults a continuum of services and
programs that are responsive to the physical, emotional
and spiritual needs of the individual;
Maintaining a comfortable, secure, “loving family”
environment that promotes dignity and self worth;
Valuing our employees and volunteers for the friendly,
caring spirit that has characterized this organization for
over 100 years;
Managing our resources responsively by operating in a
fiscally responsible manner and meeting our charitable
purpose;
Continuously improving our programs and services to
better meet the changing needs of older adults;
Respecting and working with our neighbors to improve
the community in which we all reside.
