Ian Anderson House Golf Tournament 2011
IAN ANDERSON HOUSE 430 Winston Churchill Blvd., Oakville, Ontario L6J 7X2 • Tel: (905) 337-8004 • Fax: (905) 337-8006 Charitable Reg. No. 13890 4602 RR0001 Mailing Address: c/o P.O. Box 61034, 511 Maple Grove Drive, Oakville, Ontario L6J 7P5 An Update from the Founder 2011 has been a productive year at Ian Anderson House. The Geothermal installation, funded by the Donner Canadian Foundation, will be completed by the time this newsletter is published. Once completed the installation will not only greatly reduce our energy costs and given the dire warnings of the escalating cost of future Hydro bills is also extremely timely. We are very grateful to the individuals and organizations who provided the funding for us to purchase the items on our perpetual “Wish List” that needed to be added or replaced in the House. Also, before the end of this year, we will have replaced the more than 50 year-old shed, that was built on the original property, because of structural concerns. The shed, which has been used for storage, will be replaced by a moderately larger building that will provide the necessary storage space. All of these changes, whether large or small, are given very careful consideration by our IAH Board members not only to ensure the smooth and efficient day-to-day operation of the hospice but, more important, which is always the ultimate concern is to ensure the positive impact it will have on the care, comfort and safety of our residents and their families. The past year has also been a very busy one in the “House” itself because of the increasing demand for scarce palliative beds in general and for end-of-life palliative beds in particular, which has increased the number of referrals for admission to our hospice. This, in turn, has resulted in a decrease in the average length of stay at IAH as the prospective resident who is most in need and whose family is no longer able to cope with the necessary caregiving, is admitted. A recent three-month shotgun survey done by our Home Coordinator determined that 24% of referrals were made directly by a family member; 19% by family physicians and 31% by hospitals. One of our team of four Home Coordinators then makes a personal visit to hospitals to interview patients and families or to homes in the community to assess the condition of the patient and also the care being provided. Families are offered advice if necessary and are encouraged to contact IAH to update the condition of the family member who is ill. If appropriate and necessary services are not being provided the local “Case Manager” of CCAC (Community Care Access Centre) who is responsible for providing the necessary nursing and support services in the home, is contacted by our Home Co-ordinator. Annual Newsletter 2011 During the recent Provincial political campaign, promises were made by Premier McGuinty to increase funding for home care services so that more loved ones could be cared for in their own homes. If that promise is kept, hopefully the funding will go where it is most needed, which is to provide necessary nursing and support services to families in need and not to increase the already topheavy bureaucracy of our home care system. Premier McGuinty also promised more home visits by doctors. Now we can only wait and see exactly how he intends to make that happen. Perhaps increased funding should also be directed to our busy and overworked family “docs” in the community who are currently very much under-compensated for making “house calls”. Again, our sincere thanks to all those who have generously supported Ian Anderson House in the last year and in the past 14 years. You have helped us to provide our muchneeded service to more than 1300 families in our community. To all of you from all of us at Ian Anderson House, every good wish for 2012. Margaret Anderson, Founder, IAH The late William Donner was the founder of the International Cancer Research Foundation and also supported a great deal of early work in that field. We are very grateful for how much Ian Anderson House and the Ian Anderson Resource Centre has benefited from the foresight and legacy of the founder and from the members of his family through the Donner Canadian Foundation. A Tribute to Our Volunteers Volunteers are an integral and necessary part of every charitable organization. At Ian Anderson House we understand and appreciate, firsthand, how much their time, expertise and dedication contribute to our hospice. Our volunteers perform many day-to-day tasks including answering our busy telephones, greeting families and visitors, meal and snack preparations, light housekeeping and gardening. They also help to support the families of our residents by “lending an ear” and sharing companionship in our comfortable kitchen. Our volunteers do not do “hands-on” care of our residents. Resident care is provided by our paid professional staff who have the expertise and necessary accountability. Our volunteers, by working as a team with our staff, allows them to spend the necessary time caring for our residents. We are also grateful, not only to our volunteers, but also to our IAH staff who volunteer their time at our fundraising events which, last year, made it possible for us to direct 97 cents of each $1.00 raised to our daily operating costs. Our thanks to the Members of the Board of IAH who also volunteer their time and expertise. Together you have earned our hospice the reputation for the high quality care that our House offers. A Profile of a Volunteer We Welcome our New Volunteers Cal Belbin Sharon Byrne Gail Christilaw Lena Doyle Kyle Ferguson Maggie Harris Rosemary Leon Dorothy Prieditis Alma Rodinciac Varun Sheth And bid Farewell with our grateful Thanks and Best Wishes to: Leo Aldoroty Cheryl Allen Betty Smith Ruth Johnston Ruth began volunteering at our hospice in 2007. After attending our 10th Anniversary Gala with friends she became interested in becoming a volunteer. She felt she could contribute in that role because of “an understanding of the needs of residents and families” based on her own personal experience and on the “value of having assistance.” Ruth has since become our “official shopper”, purchasing food for our residents and household and other necessary supplies. She has also continued to volunteer her time, both in the House and at our fundraising events. We are grateful to Ruth, who is one of our valued volunteers, for her dedication and support of Ian Anderson House. If you are interested in volunteering at Ian Anderson House please call our volunteer Co-ordinator Joanne Richards at (905) 337-8004 extension 222. Ian Anderson House Members of the Board Dr. Peter Allen Mr. Gene Allevato Ms. Margaret Anderson Mr. Stuart Anderson Mr. Ted R. Laan Mr. Robert Pollard Welcome Farewell We welcome Joanne Richards, our new Volunteer/Events Co-ordinator. Joanne became a volunteer at Ian Anderson House in 2010, two years after her father, Trevor Richards, died at our hospice. Joanne had worked as a Manager and teacher at a private college for over 10 years but says that she was so impressed with the gentle and knowledgeable care her father and their family received at our House that she decided to leave her job to enroll in a Social Service/Gerontology programme at Sheridan College. She also enrolled in palliative courses and completed an internship in community support programmes. We welcome Joanne as the latest member of our “Care Team” who is “honoured to be part of such an incredible team of professionals that enable her to learn and grow each day.” Lisa Steward, who joined our staff as Volunteer/Event Co-ordinator in October 2008, had volunteered for one year in the Ian Anderson Resource Centre. Lisa left us to pursue her career experience in Marketing and Product Development. We are very grateful to Lisa for her valuable contribution and dedication to Ian Anderson House during her time with us. We are also very grateful to her for continuing to volunteer advice and for lending a helping hand at this year’s Walk/Run and the Ian Anderson Golf Tournament. All at our “House” wish you much future success and best wishes in your career. 2 Special Thanks Our Thanks for “Gifts-in-Kind” Third Party Events • To: Cindy and Jennifer Wade, Ian Mise and Cooper Gage for organizing and running the 1st Annual Chris Wade Memorial Golf Tournament held at Blue Springs Golf Course on August 8th.

IAH Kids “Got Talent” Ashley, 16 year-old daughter of our IAH nurse Linda Taylor, was one of the Top 2 ranked Canadians to compete at the World Youth Championships held in Lille, France, July 1st to 11th this year. Ashley’s first race was in 400m Hurdles where she ran a personal best of 60.38 seconds which qualified her to compete in the semifinals. In the past, Ashley qualified for Team Ontario and won two Silver medals in individual hurdle events and two Gold relay medals at the Nationals Event in Ottawa. Zachary, the 14 year-old son of our Home Co-ordinator Tracey Vanwyngaarden, who plays in Soccer’s Elite level at the Burlington Youth Soccer Club’s team “Burlington Thunder”, competed in July of this year in an International tournament in Spain. There were a total of 30,000 “kids” competing in the event which was a round robin format. Zachary’s team was the only one of the 16 teams in his age group from Canada to compete for the “Donastie Cup” and advanced to the semi-finals, where they lost to a local Spanish Team. Zachary’s family and the other families who traveled to Spain donated a soccer ball (football in Europe), that was very much appreciated, to each of the players on the winning team, so you were all winners. Sam and Ben, the 11 and 9 year-old sons of Monique Armstrong, the Administrator of the Ian Anderson Resource Centre, were interviewed last month on The Agenda with Steve Paikin, were featured on the Global News Hour and landed a guest spot on CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes which all resulted from a home video of the recent leaderships debate, produced by Sam and acted by the brothers. Sam also can be seen in a running television V8 commercial (slapping his forehead). Matthew, the 11 year-old son of our Board Chair Stuart Anderson and grandson of Ian Anderson was one of three 11 yearolds to qualify this year to play in the U.S. Kids Golf Championship at Gullane, Scotland.

He also won a gold medal for competing in the Canadian Junior Golf Association “Junior Linkster Event” tournament for 11 to 13 year olds held in Ajax.

Over those years his and his son John’s contribution to our House has made it possible to provide the necessary quality of care to our residents, for more than two months. Thank you, Mr. Liptay, for your philanthropic gift that has enabled us to provide a much-needed service to families in our community. Ian Anderson House was founded in 1997 by Margaret Anderson in memory of her husband, Ian. True to hospice philosophy we offer care and support without charge. We are grateful to all the supporters of our “House” who have made it possible for us to help more than 1300 families in the past 13 years during a most difficult time. 8
