2011 - Alzheimer`s Services of the Capital Area
All funds raised here, stay HERE. 2011 annual report president's message Dear Friends, 2011 was a busy year with many successes. Alzheimer’s Services continued to expand programs and services, meeting and exceeding goals. The growth I have seen in this organization has been tremendous, and we now are reaching more people than ever. However, it was tough year for me personally. I lost my mother, Noblet Beryl Huye Barry, to Alzheimer’s on November 13th. She was 89. The last four years, she just wasn’t there. My siblings and family members all were mourning the loss before she was gone, a clear example that Alzheimer’s is sometimes harder on the family and caregivers. I personally understand the stress, anger, frustration, exhaustion, challenges and at times, joy, of caregiving. It is the main reason I am happy to serve this organization. In January 2011, we saw Alzheimer’s disease garner national attention with the National Alzheimer’s Project Act set into motion. The 27 member Advisory Committee met throughout the year to make recommendations to the US Department of Health and Human Services for priority actions to expand, coordinate, and condense programs in order to improve the health outcomes of people with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and reduce the financial burden of these conditions on those with the diseases, their families, and society. Alzheimer’s Services chose to be represented on this committee through the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America and participated in discussions, made recommendations, and voiced priorities based on information from our Community Needs Assessment, Caregiver Support Groups, and Helpline requests. Among the recommendations are to prevent and effectively treat Alzheimer’s by 2025, expand research, and identify early and pre-symptomatic stages of the disease. A full report can be read at http://aspe.hhs.gov/daltcp/napa/NatlPlan.pdf. The organization made advancements in several areas guided by the strategic goals set in 2010 to be achieved in three years. Two of the three goals were achieved in year two of the plan. The first, a 300% increase in service delivery with a physical presence to serve the 10 parish area was aggressive. The third, education services that meet the knowledge and skills required for quality care inspired the staff to evaluate the existing programs and develop additional programming to meet the emerging needs. Staff members increased delivery of programs, expanded the audience, developed new programs, and concentrated publicity efforts to reach all those affected. Sharing the Journey classes were delivered in Ascension and Livingston parishes and saw record numbers in attendance. Sixteen Caregiver Network Support Groups met monthly across the service area. Staff responded to nearly double the Helpline calls and implemented a streamlined reporting system that enabled reports to quantify who was being served where and areas may be underserved. Over 800 professional caregivers were trained in our Dementia Care Training program that was the first program to be certified by the state meeting requirement standards implemented in 2011. Making a difference for all those affected continues to drive our mission with innovative programs. Assessing and developing programs for the special needs population was integral to expanding those we serve including individuals with Early Onset Alzheimer’s, qualified as developing in those younger than age 65. The Memory Café was established with a support curriculum meeting the unique challenges of Alzheimer’s in a population still raising children who may also be caring for aging parents. LGBT Liaisons was established to address the needs of this special population and caregivers who again deal with unique legal and caregiving challenges. The third goal of a universal awareness among the medical community and other key referral services industries continues to be addressed with much of the goal reached. The Family Resource Guide was updated and over 3,500 were delivered to area physicians, hospitals, social workers, PAGE 2 Our Mission and other referral agencies. The WHAT’S NEW IN Faces of Alzheimer’s created a great deal of awareness during the month long photographic 2011 Understanding exhibit at the Shaw Center, ALZHEIMER’S the exhibit continues to be displayed at area libraries throughout 2012. The photos were featured in the Baton Rouge Business Report’s supplement What’s New in Healthcare and The Advocate’s People section raising the profile of the organization significantly. Charlie’s Place remains a model of person-centered care and serves as a training environment for nursing, physical therapy, and social work students impacting our professional caregivers of the future. In the last year of the plan the staff continues to implement the recommendations developed to reach the goal. The organization’s financial health remains strong. Both Programs and the Fund Development departments use sustainability models to further the mission of Alzheimer’s Services. The Program Department has developed several fee-for-service programs (i.e. Dementia Care Training and the Emergency Preparedness Manual) that offset costs of other programs that are valued by the constituency but do not generate funds. Charlie’s Place is also considered a social entrepreneur program that was initially heavily subsidized. The Finance Committee implemented an increase in the fees in June 2011 based on 3 years of cost analysis raising the income to a sustainable level requiring less subsidy. The Rosemary Society has grown in part because of the support from the Huey and Angelina Wilson Foundation Challenge grants that inspire donors to have their first year’s gift matched. This contributes to the financial health of the organization through multi-year pledges that allow the organization to withstand economic instability and plan for growth based on projected income. Corporate support has shifted somewhat shying away from multi-year agreements. The organization has adapted to allow Corporate Partners to renew their support one year at a time. The organization appreciates the support of the Rosemary Society, Corporate Partners, and donors for their trust and investment in our mission. The organization sought more grant funding to expand programs and meet emerging needs. We received the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s Brodsky Grant to develop the Recollection Collection and the Irene W. and C. B. Pennington grant to develop a consultative program for community based respite centers like Charlie’s Place. Both programs are designed to become sustainable with the Recollection Collection, a tool kit for nursing home Alzheimer’s care units, already garnering statewide interest. In summary, 2011 was a productive year with many advances made, challenges met, and people served. We appreciate your support and hope to continue our relationship as we assist those families coping with Alzheimer’s. HEALTH CARE What’s new in the battle against a growing menace. ALSO INSIDE: Sponsored articles on health programs, trends and options Alzheimer’s Services board president Wilfred Barry with his mother, Noblet Sponsored By: SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE GREATER BATON ROUGE BUSINESS REPORT AND INREGISTER Sincerely, (l to r) Vicki Daviet and Glenda DeLong Mission statement The mission of Alzheimer’s Services of the Capital Area is to make a significant difference in the lives of those coping with Alzheimer's disease in our community. wHO IS Alzheimer's services Alzheimer’s Services of the Capital Area is a local nonprofit organization in the Greater Baton Rouge Area dedicated to providing education programs and support services to those affected by Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. Alzheimer's Services is not affiliated with a national organization; therefore, all funds raised remain in our ten parish service area to fulfill our mission of serving those coping with the disease in our community. What is Alzheimer's Disease? Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive, degenerative disease of the brain that results in memory loss, impaired thinking, difficulty speaking and personality changes. During the course of the disease, there is a continual loss of nerve cells in areas of the brain that are crucial to memory and other mental functions. Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but some drugs are available to treat some symptoms, as well as to slow the progression of the disease for a period of time.

Both have been instrumental in advancing the mission of the organization over the last 13 years by serving on the Board of Directors. Mary Anne was instrumental in developing the respite center concept and remains a member of both the Education and Respite Advisory Committees. Pat served as President of the Board during the building renovation and build out in 2006 and 2007. They have served on countless committees, volunteered at the Walk and raised funds through the Memories in the Making Luncheon.

As the caregiver was getting back into her car, she told the staff, “This is my first day off in two whole months.” The Respite Center enables caregivers that “day-off”-the free time to run errands, schedule doctor appointments, take care of obligations, or just relax from the day-to-day responsibility of 24/7 caregiving. Inasmuch as the caregivers are enjoying a respite, the clients at Charlie’s Place are reaping the benefits of a structured day through a host of activities during their stay. Cooking, gardening, arts and crafts, pet therapy, exercise, word games, story-telling, music therapy, and reminiscing are among the activities always planned to promote mental stimulation and socialization and to give clients a meaningful and purposeful day. “My wife leaves Charlie’s Place with a smile and loves to go back.” a caregiver comments. “ I love the attitude of all the employees and their obvious love for what they do.” With 100% of staff being certified as Qualified Dementia Care Providers by the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, person-centered care is the hallmark of the award-winning Respite Center. Charlie’s Place is designed for individuals with early-stage Alzheimer’s and related dementia disorders. The Center is one of only 32 sites in the United States that holds the Excellence in Care Dementia Program of Distinction by the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. For more information, please contact Dana Territo, Director of Services or Ed Picard, Respite Care Coordinator at (225) 334-7494. Pennington Foundation Grant for Charlie’s Place Business Model With grant funding from the Pennington Foundation, Alzheimer’s Services is developing a Respite Center Manual and consultation program. Realizing the need for more adult respite centers, the program will be marketed to long-term and adult day care facilities as well as community-based organizations developing respite programs. Understanding the future needs of respite care, the organization will consult on best practices for person-centered care for Alzheimer's-affected individuals.
