Along with a grant from Hand In Hand, which enabled us to purchase a refrigerator and a couple of lounge chairs, the most apparent changes are the warm colors on the walls, and the furniture being set up so that there is an actual sitting area. Now it is like they are sitting in their own family room. There is a game table for checkers. There is a round table they sit at for lunch, with a table cloth and china where they have a hot kosher meal. Some people prefer to have areas to do activities on their own; there is room for that as well.” The piano was moved into the main room so that Margaret Everson, Activities Coordinator, can play for the group. “She plays so beautifully, and she will play Yiddish songs and show tunes and other songs, and they will just sing and it’s warm and haimishe. The atmosphere changes.” Indeed, the whole atmosphere has changed, with real artwork and a warm, inviting color palette on the walls, the new furniture arrangements and more. Dana writes a monthly letter to the families with highlights of activities and includes a calendar of events. In this way, families can choose which days will be more meaningful for their loved ones to attend, and it offers a touch point for something to talk about when they return. The families appreciate knowing what is going on each day as well as having a conversation starter for when they are reunited at the end of the day. Paula Ruby, whose husband, Bill, attends the ADC, says, “The very, very patient women {working in the ADC} really pegged my husband. They understood that he has to be kept busy. I really appreciate that.” Paul Elias finds the Jewish environment very meaningful. His wife, Jenny, says he likes the program and especially loves the music. “I am so glad that he’s part of this program, I really am. The staff is very qualified, and they are good to him.” She especially likes the calendars the staff sends out with the daily activities. “They have a fabulous program, and they keep the family informed. They keep the participants active. It gives me a break, it really does. It gives me a chance to do things on my own. It’s very important for my husband to have some socialization and interaction with other people. It’s more than I could do for him.” The Adult Day Center is more than just a place to stay for a few hours. Services such as nursing supervision, physical therapy, occupational therapy and more are available if needed. An individual care plan is worked out for each person attending. If you have a loved one you think would benefit from such an environment, call Dana RubinWinkelman at 414-289-9600, ext. 471 and ask about trying a day for free.

In November 2011, the JHCC honored Past President Mina K. Tepper with a gala affair that was hosted by honorary co-chairs Sheila and Larry Appel and included a special musical tribute by Joel and Chana Eckhardt. About 225 people paid tribute to Ms. Tepper in an evening filled with praise and memories. The décor of the event centered around dreidels, as Ms. Tepper is an avid collector of the Chanukah spinning top, and the rooms were decorated in the rose and purple colors that are among her favorites. The Annual Dinner Committee worked hard to include those touches that would be sure to please their honoree. Committee member Suzy Peltz created a centerpiece that resembled a dreidel, except that the letters spelled out M-I-N-A. Bottles of wine on each table wore dreidel necklaces – also created by Suzy – and the gift presented to Mina was a hand painted ceramic dreidel from Israel. Sheila and Larry Appel, longtime friends of Mina and her husband, Jerry, served as honorary co-chairs. Sheila displayed and read the proclamations received from Governor Walker and Mayor Tom Barrett, and a personal letter from Senator Herb Kohl. Mina and Jerry Tepper and Sheila and Larry Appel. Arleen Peltz, Chairman of the Board, presents Mina Tepper with a handpainted dreidel from Israel.

Emily coordinated the successful Blood Drive held on February 13. We hope to hold another drive in the summer. Employees and visitors dropped in throughout the day to donate blood. 6 Our Volunteers are Our Lifeline D eciding to become a volunteer at the Jewish Home, Chai Point or Sarah Chudnow is a very personal decision. Some choose to do so because of a prior connection to the organization. Others do it because they have time on their hands and are looking for something to do. Still others volunteer because they want to be connected to the Jewish community. Whatever the reason, most volunteers soon find themselves part of a whole new community… with new friends, new joys and a new appreciation of what it means to be part of this large Milwaukee family, as volunteer Ken Stein can tell you. Homespun: Why did you decide to volunteer? Ken: When I retired from the jewelry a lot out of seeing people enjoying themselves. business, I wasn’t ready to kick back and do nothing. It was time to give back. I was brought up that way. My mother was very attached to the Home. She gave to the Home. Her mother was here. My parents lived near the first Jewish Home for the Aged. My father’s father lived in the Jewish Home in the 40s. It was a different type of Home then; people showed up with suitcases and moved in. Homespun: What was the hardest thing to get used to when you started volunteering? Ken: To see so many people who want Homespun: Why volunteer at the Jewish Home? Ken: I am involved with a lot of organizations; the Jewish Federation, the JCC, I’m on an advisory board for Concordia University, to name a few. But not only did I want to get involved in the Jewish community, we also conveniently moved next door! Homespun: How did you get started? Ken: Arleen Peltz asked me to join the board of the Jewish Home, of which she is now chair. She asked me if I’d like to get active, and here I am. Homespun: Who were your influences? Ken: My parents and my wife. Dee and I have been married 50 years. She influences me by word and deed, in a very quiet way. Homespun: What activities do you like best? Ken: I enjoy group activities, because we can make the residents smile. I get your attention and who can’t do what they used to do, what they want to do. A smile from you makes a difference, even if it’s just once a week. I would like to see more family members assisting and visiting because no one can give the people you love everything you want them to have. When family is here, it helps. A smile from family is worth a thousand words. Homespun: How much time do you spend volunteering at the JHCC? Ken: At least few hours a week. Homespun: What would you say to someone who is thinking about volunteering? Ken: Just do it. You’ll get far more out of it than you’ll put in. It’s very easy to be a volunteer. You will get out of it happiness and knowing that they are enjoying it. Homespun: What have you learned since you started volunteering here? Ken: That the Residents just want to be able to live and be happy. They have challenges that do not allow them to do what most people can; they have restrictions. They want to laugh, they want to kibitz, they want to lighten up. They kid back. 7 Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon: Hold the Date! Monday, April 30 Active Volunteers, Watch for Your Invitations!

T he phrase “long-term care” can mean many different things to many different people. It can mean moving in with a daughter or son, moving out of your house of 35 years, relocating to another city, hiring a private duty caregiver, moving into an assisted living apartment or placing a loved one in a skilled nursing home. Since 70% of people over the age of 65 require some long-term care services [1] it has become increasingly important to plan for long-term care, not only because it is very expensive, but because there is a good chance you will need some long-term care service if you live beyond the age of 65. Thanks to the mission of the Jewish Home and Care Center Foundation and the generosity of many donors over the years, the Jewish Home and Care Center, Chai Point Senior Living and Sarah Chudnow Community are able to work with families and provide services regardless of their ability to pay. To find out more about long-term care planning, visit www.longtermcare.gov. [1] www.longtermcare.gov It is most common for people to first learn about long-term care when they or a loved one require services due to some type of crisis situation like a fall or an illness. However, if you wait until a crisis occurs to start planning, your options may be limited. The information you need may not be available, you might not have the money you need to pay for the services you want, or you may have to rely on family or close friends to make important decisions for you. “…if you wait until a crisis occurs to start planning, your options may be limited.” Mark Your Calendars! Tuesday, July 3rd Family Festival of Fun is Back! So, what do you need to consider when starting to plan? Although there are many personal factors that should be considered like age, gender, lifestyle and health status, the most stress-inducing issue for most families is financial resources. Long-term care can be costly. Since the cost of healthcare only continues to rise, it is important to understand your options and ask some vital questions about what your current or future insurance covers. Wanted: E-mail addresses *************************** Help us save a tree by sending us your e-mail address! Did you know that our organization takes many different forms of insurance including Medicaid, Medicare, Veterans Affairs LTC Benefits, Long-Term Care Insurance, and many private insurance Long-term Care Insurance policy benefits?
