At the Jewish Home and Care Center,
technology solutions for resident care

to assure our residents, their families,
the hospitals we partner with, and the
other care facilitators we work with
(caregivers, pharmacies, therapists, etc.)
that we are at the forefront of medical,
social and technological knowledge
when it comes to taking care of the most
vulnerable person in our care.
There are now so many areas that are
touched by new technology, something
new can be found in almost every
department of our organization.

assionate, joyful spirit and
positive outlook are just some
of words used to
describe the cherished
Minnie K. Friedman.
Minnie lived a life
of dedication and
commitment to service
to the Jewish Home and
Care Center, affecting our
residents on a daily basis.
Minnie K. Friedman was born and
raised in Milwaukee by her stepmother,
Frieda, and her father,
Louis Karl. At the time,
Minnie’s father owned a
dry goods store on the
south side of Milwaukee.
Minnie was fourteen
when her mother passed
away. After that she quit
school and went to work

Whether it’s patient care, sub-acute
rehab, materials management,
marketing, finance and billing, dining
services, social work or activities, new
technology is helping all aspects of our
organization to deliver services, interact
with families and residents and provide
the best care possible.
It began slowly, with updating our
software to a more current standard
across the three communities, followed
by upgrading our telephone service and
equipment. Next, we adopted Answers
on Demand as our organizational
software, and that facilitated our move
to electronic health records, bringing
us in line with current trends and
requirements for the latest standards of
care. Today, you can be a resident in one
of our communities, receive services in
another, and have your records follow
you seamlessly and confidentially,
thanks to your electronic health record.
Equipment is the next level of
technology to receive the hi-tech
upgrade. And here, the Jewish Home
and Care Center really makes a name for
itself! As the first skilled nursing facility
(SNF) in the world to incorporate two
major advances of technology, the JHCC
is leading the way in first-rate resident
care, and our residents are benefitting
from the forward thinking of our
leadership.
More than half a million people
get sick from Clostridium difficile
(C. diff) each year. And each
year, these infections,
which are common in
older adults after treatment
with antibiotics, become
more frequent, severe,
and difficult to treat.
The bacteria that cause
infections are commonly
found in healthcare
settings, such as hospitals
and long-term care facilities.
To combat the bacteria
and eliminate the risk of
C. diff infections, as well
as many other common
health risks such as
MRSA, norovirus and
staph infections that are
common in healthcare
environments, the Jewish

There are many more technological
innovations that have occurred on our
campuses, but space prevents us from

New Elevator an Uplifting Story for Chai Point
C
hai Point residents are getting a new Service Elevator,
and that will be a big help, as the current two elevators
are now being shared with new resident move-ins,
staff and equipment. With the new Service Elevator being used
for move-ins and the transport of equipment, such as cleaning
carts and deliveries, the present elevator cars will be more
available to residents as they go about their daily routines.
be disrupted for a period, and all laundry is being done for
residents at no charge in a temporary laundry room that is
being housed in the former fitness room in the basement. The
fitness equipment has been moved to the Multi-Purpose Room
for now, so that the laundry room could be created.
After the elevator is complete, new laundry rooms will be
returned to each floor, with
state-of-the-art machines,
folding tables and carefully
thought out floor plans.
Building a new elevator inside
an existing building presents
some challenges; however,
so far everything is going
along well. Beginning on the
Basement level in Chai Point,
the cement floor was removed
and workers had to dig down
another seven feet by hand,
removing dirt by the bucketful
until the desired depth was
reached.
Meanwhile, up on the resident
floors, laundry rooms will
All of this is being done with
as little disruption to resident
routines as possible. Residents
are being kept informed of
changes through Lift Lines, an
ad hoc newsletter, delivered to
their apartments and available

Construction workers (L to R) Leonté, Tim and foreman Chad (in

All in all, the new elevator will
be a good deal on every level!

JHCC Activities
JHCC Celebrates Diversity and Community
J
HCC celebrated Black History Month
in February with the production
of “Rosa Parks Goes to Court.” The
play was written and directed by Dreama
Smith, Assistant Director of Hospitality
Services, and was performed by staff
from all departments. Not only did the
play address the iconic role of Rosa Parks
in the Civil Rights Movement, it also
celebrated the diversity of our JHCC staff.
In early April, residents and staff got
kooky and zany during “Mismash of
Mischief.” The event included clowns,
a caricature artist and comedy routines
performed by staff. It was an afternoon
of good, old fashioned laughs.
JHCC observed National Nursing Home
Week (NNHW) in May. This national
observance provided an opportunity
to honor all those who contribute to
our nation’s nursing homes – residents,
family members, employees and
volunteers. The theme for the week
was Life is But a Game, with activities
for the week centering on playing
games. The games included “Letters
on the Lawn,” a word game similar to
Scrabble, and playing checkers on a
giant checkerboard in the JHCC lobby.
In addition to board games, residents
and staff welcomed a visit – and
numerous photo opportunities –with
Mr. Potato Head while enjoying table
games, ice cream and conversation.
Staff also received a special “thank you”
gift – a magnetic game piece created
by residents that describes some of the
most important attributes (i.e. caring,
supportive, thoughtful) of those who
work at JHCC. Staff were asked to
select the attribute that best related to
them as a reminder that they are an
important “piece” of residents’ lives.
The main event of NNHW was “Hunger
Games: Kvetching Fire.” Residents and
staff completed tasks such as folding
towels, bean bag toss, and lawn bowling
for raffle tickets to win hunger-related
prizes such as restaurant gift certificates
and food items. The “Let’s Make a Deal”
cart made an appearance, offering all in
attendance the opportunity to bargain
for deals and win prizes.
Independence Day was also observed
at JHCC. Residents were treated to
a 4th of July party, complete with
patriotic songs performed by Kimberly
Rosenau, Activity Coordinator and
Amy Gelfman, Music Therapist.
Project Ujima, a Children’s Hospital of
Wisconsin program that works with
children affected by violence, visited
to help celebrate the 4th of July. Some
of Project Ujima’s goals are to foster
positive experiences through social
opportunities and giving back to the
community. To that end, the children
socialized with residents and decorated
their wheelchairs and walkers with
festive red, white and blue streamers
and tissue paper flowers.
Throughout the year, JHCC residents
enjoyed visits from, and making
memory books with, children from
the Mequon Jewish
Pre-School. As a part of
our Intergenerational
programming, we
partner with the preschool and the students
form friendships with
the residents at JHCC.

Fourth of July celebration included a
performance by Amy Gelfman, music
therapist and Kimberly Rosenau, activities
coordinator, as well as wheelchair decoration

hemed dinners are always a hit at SCC, and 2014
has been no exception. Residents and staff
celebrated the magic of cinema at the annual Oscar
Party, where everyone was encouraged to dress “red carpet
ready.” Highlights of the Cinco de Mayo dinner included a
taste of Mexican flavor and staff members and volunteers
serving food wearing sombreros and mustaches. The 4th of
July dinner featured all the picnic and BBQ favorites.
challenges. All proceeds from the art sales benefited the artists
and Goodwill Industries. The Senior Artist Series began in
May with a mixed media exhibition with works from Allen B.
Caucutt, Sculptor/Painter. Other artists in our Senior Artist
Series included: Yelena Patskevich, staff at SCC, with works
on canvas and paper with mixable oil colors and pastels; Rich
Rekowski featuring Packers-inspired art using acrylic paint on
canvas and watercolor paper; and Jean Weinberg, a resident at
the Sarah Chudnow Community, whose medium of choice is
acrylic paint and pastels. Each exhibition begins on a Sunday
afternoon, starting with a grand opening followed by an
Artist’s Reception in Posner Town Square. The artwork is then
on display for several weeks.
The 2nd Floor Art Gallery has been busy, thanks to rotating
exhibitions. The exhibition season kicked off in April
with featured artists from Goodwill Industries’ Artistic

Our own Sarah Chudnow Glee Club performs
at the 2014 Jamboree.
Children cut out stars for a July 4th art project while
participating in our Kinder Klatch.
The lively Senior Jamboree took place in late May. An annual
event, this year’s Jamboree featured four choral groups: the
Sarah Chudnow Glee Club and choruses from the Grafton,
Shorewood, and West Bend senior centers. Each group
performed audience favorites and led a sing-along for
audience members. It was a great event for our Community
members to share music, fun and fellowship with other local
senior organizations.
This summer, SCC introduced two Intergenerational
Programs: Kinder Klatch and Baby Talk. Kinder Klatch is a
program for children ages three through six and their parents.
The group met on the first Tuesday of June, July and August.
Themes ranged from “Fun in the Sun” to “4th of July” with
activities such as planting flowers and festive arts-and-crafts
projects. Residents, parents and children enjoyed a morning of
socializing, community involvement and most of all, fun. Baby
Talk allowed moms, dads and their babies (up to one year old)
to schmooze with our seniors about what it was like raising
children in days past and to socialize with other parents of
young children.
In mid-July, SCC’s Posner Town Square was transformed into
a runway for an afternoon. Residents and the community were
treated to an intergenerational fashion show featuring fashions
from Land’s End in Fox Point. Our stylish models included
some of our residents and staff as well as a granddaughter of
one of our residents. Later in the month, a van full of residents
went on an outing to the Lands’ End store. Many residents
purchased clothes to fill up one bag; some even bought two
bags worth of clothing!
Many of our programs are open to the community. Check
sarahchudnow.com or Facebook for upcoming programs.

Adult Day Programs Care for Body, Brain and Spirit
T
he Adult Day Programs continue
to respond to community need.
Both the Adult Day Center and
the ReCharge! program are growing
steadily. Each service supports both the
participant and care partners. Said the
wife of one Adult Day Center participant,
“I have a semblance of normalcy in my
life on the days my husband is with the
ADC and your caring staff. I know he
is safe and well cared for; he is a happy
camper, and I am very grateful.”
Recently, the Adult Day Center
underwent its required survey, and the
surveyor was impressed with “the staff
interaction with the participants, as well
as doing way above what is required.”
The result was a violation-free survey.
ReCharge! is an interactive brain and
body fitness class. Students engage in
brain exercises while among friends
and improve memory, focus and
concentration.
A ReCharge! class member told us, “I
can personally attest to the ability of
the instructor to present mental fitness
exercises and memory strategies that are
challenging, but at the same time fun to
learn. I look forward to each day with
my friends in the class.”
In June, Dana Rubin-Winkelman,
MSW, CAPSW and Dawn Adler, RT,
co-facilitated a new program titled
Shomer Hagoof, Taking Care of Your
Body and Mind, at Congregation Beth
Israel Ner Tamid. About sixty people
experienced novel ways to use their
brain, strategies to keep the mind sharp,
and learned how mindfulness can
reduce the aging effects of stress. This
two-hour interactive session will be
made available to other synagogues as
well. A follow-up, more in-depth series
on brain health will also be available.
Campaign for the Brain, an interactive
brain health fair that focused on
the five main things you can do to
protect your brain (physical exercise,
mental exercise, disease prevention,
socialization and nutrition) was a hit
last year. Planning has begun for this
Rosie Sheinbein, RYT, RMT, specialist in

the room were drawn to the beautiful rhythms.

Friendly Visitors are Always Welcome
I
t has been another amazing
year for Hand in Hand and our
volunteers! With more than 300
active volunteers, you are sure to come
across us somewhere on one of our
campuses… whether it is helping out
at an activity, escorting a resident to the
hair salon, working in the gift shop, or
preparing to accompany residents on an
outing.
Friendly Visitors help in
many ways, from brightening
a resident’s day with some
conversation, to helping to
transport him or her to the
beauty shop or an activity.
There are so many ways to
help… call Beth Draper
at 414-277-8848 or email
[email protected]
to find out more!
Among the most important things
volunteers do, though, is to be a
Friendly Visitor in the residents’ own
rooms. These wonderful people will
spend anywhere from a few minutes
to an hour visiting with an individual
resident, creating warm friendships as
they become part of each other’s lives.
Some Friendly Visitors are invited to
become members of Caring Partners,
a special group of visitors who are
trained to go a step farther; to visit with
residents who are nearing the end of
their lives. In this way they fulfill the
Caring Partners mission of making sure
none of our residents has to die alone.
While there is always a need for more
Caring Partners, you cannot volunteer
for this group; you have to be invited.

Beth Draper received the award at a
ceremony on the university campus,
and said, “We are proud to host so many
University students and to be able to
match students with opportunities here
that match their educational programs.”
Last semester, Marquette University
communications students designed
a brochure for the JHCC Marketing/

used during Doors Open Milwaukee,
and in the coming year, we anticipate
students at UWM’s architectural school
will be creating an outdoor green space

younger brothers’ educations. At age
17, Minnie founded Milwaukee’s first
Junior Hadassah group and truly lived
a life of commitment to community
service and charitable giving. In 1934,
Minnie married Harry Friedman, a
dentist, and became a devoted wife
and loving mother, grandmother and
great grandmother. After the passing
of her husband, she became a lifelong
volunteer to numerous organizations
within the Milwaukee area.
The Minnie K. Friedman Rehabilitation
Center is an excellent example of
Minnie’s everyday dedication and
passion to making a difference in the
lives of others. Step by step, residents
work to accomplish goals in speech
therapy, occupational therapy and
physical therapy. During therapy
sessions, residents are provided the
latest resources to work on muscle
strength, balance, and activities of
daily living. Therapists work each
and every day empowering residents
to accomplish tasks and improve
their baseline mobilities. RehabCare
therapists have been working within
our communities over the last eight
years and have become extended family
to many residents. Each of the therapists
has remarkable energy and a positive
outlook, motivating our residents,
making the atmosphere contagious and
inspiring for all who enter its doors.
Team Ruth! Ruth is a current resident
on the Avrum and Anita Chudnow
Center for rehabilitation services. She
came to the Jewish Home and Care
Center post surgery. Ruth works with
Sam, a Certified Occupational Therapy
Assistant. Time is spent on working
on transitions from sitting to standing
as well as walking to
strengthen her lower
body. Ruth says “I learn
something new almost
every time I come to
therapy. There is such a
variety of equipment to
use here.” Ruth is such a
success story, motivating
herself and motivated by
therapy to accomplish
her goals and regain
independence.

an outpatient for speech
therapy and a current
Chai Point resident. “I
work on my memory
and concentration with

seen improvements,” says
Sidney. Speech therapy

communication with
his daily surroundings.
During his therapy time
he works on a variety of

noticed a difference in
my walking and that I am
improving in my stability.
It was great to hear that
from her.” Margaret has
worked very closely
with Physical Therapy
Assistant Lalitha. “I love
working with her; she
has been my therapist
here since the very
beginning.” It is easy to
see the relationship that
has developed and the
encouragement given
throughout the therapy
session.

Rehabilitation Center
provides an interdisciplinary team of
certified therapists to help
each person reach his

Minnie K. Friedman once
said, “Helping others

2014 July 3rd Fireworks Fest
T
he 2014 July 3rd Fireworks Fest brought entertainment,
food and fun to the Rubenstein Pavilion as more than
180 community members and residents gathered to
celebrate Independence Day. This annual event raises money
for the Martin F. Stein Intergenerational Fund which is used to
support intergenerational programs for our residents. These
Intergenerational programs bring the wisdom and experience
of our older adults together with the energy and enthusiasm of
our children through activities and visits.
Music for the event was provided by Four In Accord
Barbershop Quartet, and Pinwheel the Clown entertained the
children with face-painting and balloon fun.

Pinwheel the Clown painted children’s faces
as part of the festivities.
A delicious picnic meal was offered before the fireworks.
