Letter from the
Board Chair and President & CEO
Dear Friends,
Philip M. Cohen
As we reflect upon our efforts on behalf of the community over the last year, we
are most grateful for the support we have received from Board members, donors,
and volunteers, that has enabled us to build upon JFSA’s mission to strengthen
individuals and build community. This August, our successful fundraising event
honoring Board members Grant Dinner and Trish Adler for their advocacy for
the prevention of homelessness and domestic violence, raised awareness of
JFSA’s mission and generated much needed support and enthusiasm for JFSA
programs and services.
This support has become critical to our ability to continue to provide life enhancing
services to the elderly, individuals with disabilities, as well as families who find
themselves facing unanticipated crises for one reason or another. Over the last
ten years we have continued to face significant cuts in funding from governmental
sources, while at the same time we have heard and witnessed a greater demand for
quality, home-based services for each of the populations we serve.
Susan L. Bichsel, Ph.D.
“We are most
grateful for the
support we have
received from
Board members,
donors, and
volunteers, that
has enabled us
to build upon
JFSA’s mission
to strengthen
individuals and
build community.”
02
At a time when our national health care system is undergoing significant changes
in its payment and service delivery systems, JFSA has needed to adapt quickly
to these changes in order to stay both financially viable and, at the same time,
attuned to our clients needs. This winter we are thrilled to announce the opening
of Alyson’s Place, our new primary care medical clinic located within the Drost
Family Center. Alyson’s Place will provide primary health care to JFSA clients,
in addition to the full complement of other services and supports they receive
through JFSA. Convenient access to health care, provided by professionals who
can then coordinate other necessary services and supports for the individuals
served within JFSA, will further enhance client care.
We take this opportunity to recognize and thank our dedicated Board of
Directors, the Jewish Federation of Cleveland and the many organizations,
donors, volunteers, and staff for their generous and sustaining support.

Helping people connect to our community.
Meet
Eric.
A lifelong Clevelander, Eric grew up in
a happy home with a tight-knit family.
His mother and father supported and
encouraged him to follow his passion
and become a nurse. But after Eric
lost both of his parents, he suffered
from depression and had difficulty
focusing on daily activities. Paying
his bills on time and keeping up the
house became a challenge. “I stopped
looking for work and I wasn’t fun to be
around,” explains Eric. At his father’s
funeral, a cousin of Eric’s handed him
a business card with JFSA’s phone
number. “It was important for me to
get my life back,” says Eric, “I called
within the next couple of days.”
brothers,” remarks Eric, who feels
safe and independent in his new
home. “I live in a secure environment
with my own room and within walking
distance to many stores,” he explains.
Today, Eric is thriving in a HUDfunded group residence with the help
of JFSA and Jewish Community
Housing, along with staff who keep
him on track and housemates who
feel like family. “I have three new
Eric also participates in JFSA’s
art therapy which has given him a
creative outlet and taught him to
have more patience with himself. His
relationships with others have also
improved. He hopes to get his nursing
license reinstated and is excited to start
taking courses again to advance his
degree. He also enjoys many hobbies
including collecting coins, playing
tennis, watching movies, and reading.

mother, Barbara. “In the beginning
it was a little scary letting her go.
But my comfort level has definitely
increased as I’ve watched Sari
blossom,” she says.
HOW WE HELP
The journey from adolescence
into young adulthood, and the
responsibility that comes with it, can
be intimidating for any individual.
For 23 year-old Sari, the journey has
been a smooth one with help from
JFSA’s Transitions Program, which
assists young adults with mental
disabilities transition from their
parents’ home to independent living.
It’s a dream come true for Sari and
her family. “All families hope their
children will be autonomous,” says

Helping people connect to our community.
Meet
Gary.
When Gary was first diagnosed with
schizophrenia, the implications of his
illness didn’t hold much meaning
for him. “It was just a word to me,”
says Gary, “I didn’t understand what it
meant for me or my life.”
But the effects of his illness soon
became apparent. Working as an
engineer, the pressure and stress of
his job made it difficult to manage
his illness and perform his work.
After he lost his job and then his
home, Gary moved in with his
parents. “I felt constrained and that
there was no hope for my future,” he
says. Then a friend told Gary about
JFSA’s PLAN membership program.
also credits his experience in CET
(Cognitive Enhancement Therapy) for
his ability to form friendships and feel
more at ease in social situations.
“PLAN changed my life for the
better,” explains Gary. He participates
in many of the social and recreational
activities, such as nature hikes, bike
rides, volleyball and softball, and
movie nights. Membership in PLAN
gives Gary an opportunity to meet
new people and build a stronger
connection to the community. He
“Life is more fun now,” says Gary with
a smile. His positive outlook also led
to his employment with PLAN as a
Program Assistant, providing guidance
and support for other PLAN members.
For other families facing a difficult
diagnosis, Gary offers this advice:
“There is a light at the end of the
tunnel. PLAN can help you get there.”

JFSA Care at Home
Helping individuals live independently.
Meet
Raising two sons with Fragile X
Syndrome may seem like an
overwhelming challenge, but Jeanne
understood that with a little ingenuity
and a solid care plan, her sons,
Brent and Stephen, could one day
live on their own as happy, healthy,
independent adults. Her vision became
a reality four years ago when Brent and
Stephen moved into their own home,
equipped with innovative technology
to help them live independently.
Setting up the home wasn’t
easy. “Finding an agency willing
to work with us and understand
what we needed was difficult,”
she remembers. But with
recommendations from JFSA,
Jeanne secured a grant to create the
unique home for her sons.
A series of sensors throughout
the home prompt the brothers to
complete tasks such as brushing their
teeth or shaving. “We can keep an
eye on them, but the technology in
the house gives them the ability to
learn and do things on their own,”
explains Jeanne, who enjoys peace
of mind knowing her sons are safe. A
JFSA home health aide helps Brent
and Stephen three nights a week.
“Sue is terrific,” says Jeanne of their
home health aide. “She provides
guidance to our sons for everything
from cooking to personal hygiene.”
“It’s been everything I dreamed it
would be,” says Jeanne. “Brent and
Stephen are so proud of themselves,
and as parents, we are comfortable
knowing that they are safe and
happy in their home. JFSA was
crucial in making that happen.”
How JFSA Care at Home Helps
Skilled Nursing Registered
nurses work with primary care
physicians to develop a care plan to
provide assessment, treatment and
instruction for ongoing care, including
skilled nursing, physical, occupational
or speech therapy, home health
aides, or use of Medical Social
Workers to provide counseling and
referral to community resources.

care (help with bathing, dressing,
and grooming); home support (meal
planning, preparation, and shopping);
physical support (assistance with
walking, home exercise, and
rehabilitation activities); medication

housekeeping.
JFSA Lifeline “HomeSafe”

JFSA Care at Home
Helping individuals live independently.
Meet
Morton.
Morton made what most people
consider the “right” choices for a
successful life. He graduated from
college with a degree in business and
thought the road to greatness lay
ahead of him. But life took a detour
when Morton became the responsible
caregiver for his ailing mother and
disabled brother. Morton was a father
figure to his brother and a rock for
his mother, living with her and taking
care of her as she struggled with
Alzheimer’s. “I was her shoulder to cry
on, her dependable source of energy,”
he explains. When both his mother
and brother passed, Morton was
devastated. The funeral expenses were
overwhelming and he was unsure of
where to turn. That’s when a friend from
his synagogue referred him to JFSA.
Now Morton has case managers who
visit him every couple of weeks to see
how he is doing, look over his finances,
and work on strategies for managing
his home and make sure Morton has
everything he needs to be healthy and
comfortable at home.
Despite some hardships, Morton has
moved forward with his life with the
support of his JFSA case managers.
“They bring me up and keep me
going. I look forward to their visits
because without them, I don’t think
I could pull myself together.” He
appreciates that someone is always
there to keep an eye on him and
thinks of JFSA as an extended family.
“Other people don’t understand
what I’m going through. JFSA does a
better job than anyone I know.”

This isn’t the first time Estelle has
relied on JFSA Care at Home services.
When her husband was ill and still
living at home, Estelle turned to JFSA
home health aides who helped with his
personal care. “I took care of him for
a long time, but sometimes I needed
help,” remembers Estelle. Thanks to
JFSA, Estelle has less to worry about
and more time for enjoying the
things she loves.
WHO WE ARE
But frequent dizzy spells had
this grandmother of six and great
grandmother of two concerned,
especially since living on her own
after her husband passed away last
March. “Being alone can be scary,”
explains Estelle. Instead of waiting
for the problem to get worse, Estelle
took action and called JFSA for help.
With JFSA’s Lifeline program,
the fear of falling is now more
manageable. Estelle also has a
home health aide who visits her
twice a week to help with showering
and other light chores around the
house. No longer able to drive
herself, Estelle also counts on her
home health aide to take her to
doctors appointments when other
transportation is unavailable.
HOW YOU HELP
At 89 years old, Estelle is sharp as

the home she and her husband built

JFSA Families at Risk
Helping individuals and families overcome adversity.
Meet
Pesha.
When Pesha first came to Cleveland
over two years ago, she was escaping an
abusive husband whose mistreatment
of her and her youngest son had turned
from dangerous to deadly. She knew
she had to protect her son, a teenager
at the time. She also knew it was too
dangerous to move in with her eldest
daughter and grandchildren, her only
relatives in Cleveland. Unsure of where
to go for help and safety, a friend
suggested calling JFSA.
Initially, Pesha was reluctant to move
into the Hebrew Shelter Home
because she feared her son might
run away. But after visiting, they
both agreed it would be a safe and
comfortable place to stay while they
began to rebuild their lives.
With the help of JFSA support
groups and therapy, Pesha and her
son were both able to understand
the depth of their abuse and begin to
heal. “It’s like being in a tornado,” she
explains. “You can’t see it yourself
because you are spinning inside of it.
JFSA pulled me out of that so I was
able to have clarity again.”
In addition to serving as a physical and
emotional safe haven, the Hebrew
Shelter Home was also a place where
Pesha felt free to practice her religion
without fear or ridicule. “Everyone there
is very respectful, even if they aren’t
Orthodox Jewish, like me,” she explains.
“I knew I never had to worry about my
religion because I had the support of the
entire Jewish community.”
Today, Pesha feels happy and proud of
her life. “The Hebrew Shelter Home
is incredible,” says Pesha. “I look
at my son now and I see a healthy
young man. I look at myself and I see
a strong, independent woman. JFSA
helped make that possible.”
Pesha also has advice for other women
seeking shelter from abuse. “No one
should feel ashamed of abuse,” she
advises. “Feel proud that you are
trying to change your situation and
pursue a better life.”

Jeff is a fourth year dental student
at Case Western Reserve University
and father to a 2 year-old and a
newborn. With a growing family and
expenses mounting, Jeff was able to
turn to JFSA for help.
Jeff and his wife Ellie, with their two children
Suri and Mayer.
“Professional education is incredibly
expensive,” explains Jeff. “It’s
important to look in every nook
and cranny to find every bit of
help.” Thanks to JFSA’s College
Financial Aid Program, Jeff received
two awards, the Gutarts and
Keller Scholarships. “Applying for
scholarships can be very intimidating.
You feel like you have a one in a
million chance, but with JFSA it was
an easy and comfortable process,”
remarks Jeff.
Scholarships aren’t the only thing
Jeff has received in his three years
of working with JFSA’s staff. Advice
about everything from his federal
loans, to living in Cleveland, has also
been a great help to him. “JFSA
is a huge resource for the Jewish
community,” exclaims Jeff. “I feel if I
needed anything at all, someone here
can help me.”
Jeff is appreciative of the help he has
received from JFSA and the families
that created the scholarships.
“Cleveland families creating
scholarships for other Cleveland kids,
it’s a really wonderful thing to give
back to the community,” notes Jeff.
“I hope one day I can do the same.”
Without JFSA, Jeff would have to
take on more costly federal loans
and would be even deeper in debt.
Now he and his growing family will
be better able to build a successful
future. Jeff remarks, “I am so grateful
to JFSA and everything they have
done for me.”

Alyson’s Place – JFSA Medical Clinic
Delivering primary health care to clients.
On November 13, 2013, a ribboncutting ceremony was held to
celebrate the opening of Alyson’s
Place, JFSA’s new primary care
medical clinic. The clinic represents
a major step forward in client care
and will give JFSA clients access to
affordable quality healthcare services
conveniently located in the Drost
Family Center.
The heart of the clinic belongs to the
memory of Alyson Spira Arenberg for
whom the clinic is named. She had a
special gift for reaching out to others
in need and was fascinated by issues of
wellness and healing. She challenged
those around her to embrace life to
the fullest. In a tribute to Alyson’s
creative spirit, the clinic is filled with
cheerful and brightly colored artwork
created by JFSA art therapy clients
and with art created by Alyson herself
and her family.
The establishment of Alyson’s Place
could not have happened without a
special collaboration between JFSA,
family members, local business
leaders, and health care institutions.
Led by Life Directors, Myrna and
Jim Spira, that collaboration included
support from Margo and Bob Roth,
Will Sukenik, Thomas Galvin, Dr. David
Rosenberg, University Hospitals
health system, and The Mount Sinai
Health Care Foundation.
The addition of Alyson’s Place
promises many positive outcomes
for JFSA clients and their families,
such as improved care coordination,
reduced hospital admissions and readmissions, lower rates of hospital
emergency department use, and
reduced healthcare costs overall.
The clinic will be staffed by a primary
care physician and advanced nurse

will be able to access all the services
typically available from a physician’s
office, such as a variety of lab tests,
well patient visits, immunizations,
EKG, etc. Individuals will have access
by referral to specialty services within
University Hospitals, if needed. Care
will be coordinated through JFSA’s
recently implemented electronic
medical health record system.

HOW WE HELP
This past year, three families that have long been supporters
of PLAN made substantial gifts in various ways to ensure its
continued operations. Gerald and Marty Conway challenged
other PLAN families with a matching gift opportunity, which
raised $100,000 for the PLAN Endowment. Inspired by the
Conway’s generosity and leadership, Homer and Gert Chisholm
made a $50,000 endowment gift. Original founding members
Jean and Holmer McDaniel (of blessed memory) provided for
PLAN in their estate, which resulted in a gift of $100,000.
WHO WE ARE
For a family who has a son, daughter, or sibling dealing with a
chronic mental illness, helping that loved one progress in their
recovery remains a top priority. One of the major resources
families turn to for support is Planned Lifetime Assistance
Network of Northeast Ohio (PLAN) and its Holistic Recovery
Program, which includes a vast array of social and recreational
outings, volunteer opportunities, and special interest group
activities. These services play a critical role for members, helping
them to improve their quality of life in a supportive community
of families and professionals.
HOW YOU HELP
*Recommended by these individuals from their donor
advised funds of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland.

The Volunteer Advisory Committee produced an
excellent Annual Volunteer Recognition Luncheon.
WHO WE HELP
Last fiscal year JFSA, the Hebrew Shelter Home, and PLAN
volunteers provided 2,144 hours of service to the community through
a variety of volunteer activities, including delivering meals to homebound seniors twice a week, visiting with Holocaust Survivors,
participating in teen outreach education, and many other activities
that support JFSA’s mission. Because these services are delivered by
volunteers, JFSA saves approximately $401,708 a year.* JFSA, the
Hebrew Shelter Home, and PLAN could not be successful without
these volunteers and we thank them for their tireless efforts.
