Letter from the CEO & Board Chair
Mastering Person-Centered Care
Dear friends,
2013 has been an exciting and transformative year at Jewish Senior Life. We achieved great progress with our
master campus plans which included schematic design, CON filing and implementation of the silent phase of the
fundraising campaign. We anticipate CON approval and zoning approval during the fall of 2014. We also began
the quiet phase of “The Power of One” campaign during which we raised $7 million by the end of 2013 and
almost $14 million well into 2014. This early support validates our vision for executing our new organizational
philosophy of person centered care and the physical expansion of our Brighton campus.
Over the course of 2013 we have continued to expand and enhance our full continuum of care. We completed
construction of our assisted living memory support addition, The Lodge at Wolk Manor. The Lodge opened in early
2014 and is already at full occupancy demonstrating the need in our community. Both Marian’s House and
Happier at Home successfully completed their first year of operations. Marian’s House is operating near capacity
and Happier at Home exceeded first year expectations. We also fulfilled a key strategic objective by implementing
a Memory Care Service Line across the entire organization. We completed service line training for all direct
caregivers from various service departments across JSL including more than 1,000 staff members.
Another strategic initiative focused on health care reform. In 2013 we witnessed an acceleration of Medicare
payment changes which include bundled payment initiatives, accountable care organizations, hospital
readmission penalties, and value-based purchasing. To prepare for post-acute value-based partnering
opportunities, we conducted a major clinical operational assessment of the Transitional Care Program.
The assessment resulted in a series of recommendations focused on quality and financial performance,
process efficiency and rehabilitation therapy. All recommendations have been implemented and we are now
prepared to engage in partnering opportunities with other healthcare providers.
2013 has also been a milestone year for the Jewish Home in which we achieved some of the highest quality
standards possible. Some of the highlights include:
• CMS Five-Star Quality Ranking – This ranking is the highest possible for a nursing home. It is extremely
difficult to achieve and very few nursing homes attain it.
• Department of Health State Survey - The 2013 state survey had no resident-patient care deficiencies.
• New York State Quality Pool - This is a new set of quality indicators which have a direct impact on
reimbursement. We also scored high in the first year of this quality pool.
Jewish Senior Life is well positioned to serve our community’s aging population by offering a full continuum
of care including independent living, assisted living and long-term care all on one campus. This campus is
complemented by a comprehensive offering of community-based services that enable people to remain in their
own homes. Programs and services offered by Jewish Senior Life today now touch the lives of over 3,000 elders
in our community. We are blessed with a Board of Directors, staff, and donors who all care deeply about our
organization and we’re thankful for their support.
2013 was transformational year filled with successes and we eagerly look to the future as our organization
emerges as the leading source of senior care services in our area.
Best regards,
Dan Katz

Here at Jewish Senior Life, Person-Centered Care (PCC) is an approach to care that respects and
values the uniqueness of the individual. It’s all about living the lives they want to live in the best
way they can. We do this by creating an environment that promotes choice, empathy and
compassion, personal worth and empowering individuals living in our community.

Person-Centered Care
Person-centered care has gained national attention in recent years as a
mechanism for transforming the way health care and long-term care is delivered.
It is a philosophy of individuality, respect, choice, dignity and independence for
residents in senior living communities, long-term care and patients in hospitals and
transitional care environments. It supports a culture of mutual respect by placing
decision-making with the resident or patient, and de-institutionalizing the delivery
of care while helping seniors focus on pursuing overall wellness.
Person-centered care requires collaboration across multiple teams — physicians,
nurses, therapies, housekeeping, social workers, dining staff, etc. — to adjust
routines to meet the needs and desires of the senior, rather than the senior being
required to adapt to the needs and schedules of the organization.
This kind of care requires everyone in the resident’s life to take the time to get to
know their personal preferences. This partnership benefits both the senior and the
caregiver, while allowing the senior to live every day as he or she would choose to
live it. The outcomes are positive in and of themselves, with the resident/patient
feeling respected, involved and important, and may even mitigate a person’s path
to depression.
This “culture change” movement represents a fundamental shift in the way we
think about nursing homes. Organizations are viewed not as health care institutions,
but more as person-centered homes offering long-term care services. If we place
the person at the center, we have a real opportunity to improve the quality of our
nation’s health care.

Wolk Manor
Feeling at home in her new home
Before Devara Feir made the daunting transition from an assisted living community in Florida to Wolk Manor
assisted living here in Rochester, her daughter Ellen Bernitt felt trepidation and uneasiness. Devara (or “Dee”
as she’s affectionately known) would need special attention for her age-related medical issues, in addition to
assistance with daily living activities. Ellen wasn’t shy about sharing her concerns with Wolk Manor Marketing
Associate, Jean Thomas. However, after several calls and visits, the two developed a rapport.
“When people are considering senior living options, they want to know that their loved one will receive the
same compassion and sensitivity to their needs that they would if they were being cared for at home,” says
Jean. “We deliver person-centered care by really getting to know each resident; not just their medical needs,
but their likes, dislikes, preferences and histories, and we address the needs of their family, as well,” she adds.
“These transitions are tough and I think people feel better when the person helping them really listens and
understands their fears and emotions.”
An ever-present resource, Wolk Manor Director Pam Covert provided additional support and reassurance —
patiently answering questions, detailing information and gracefully guiding Ellen and Dee to help make the
May 2013 transition to Wolk Manor a smooth one.

“One of the biggest questions I had initially was about staff turnover,” says Ellen. “In addition to hearing
how well Wolk Manor retains its staff, I was pleased to witness how pleasant and happy staff seemed to be.
Everyone is markedly friendly and helpful, and I’ve continued to feel welcomed and cared for as a family
member.”
Nurse Jolene Critelli, who has worked at Wolk Manor since its inception 15 years ago, recognizes how
important it is to make residents and their families feel that way. “When a new resident comes in, they’re
frightened of all the changes,” says Jolene. “I often think: If that were my parent, how would I want them to be
treated? Dee and Ellen are such lovely people. They’re part of our [Wolk Manor] family and we treat them as
such, with great respect.”
Jolene’s nursing colleagues, who all care for Dee during varying shifts, mirror her sentiments.
“I’ve been a nurse for almost 31 years and I went into this field because I wanted to help others,” says
Katherine Batchelor. “Transitioning later in life isn’t easy and I can empathize. I’ll be there one day. And that’s
why I take care of the residents the way hopefully I will be taken care of. It’s my way of paying it forward.”
Nurse Elizabeth Wagner says, “I try to give care to the residents to lessen the burden on the families. A lot
of times I’ll tell them, ‘Let us take the pressure off of you so you can relax.’ And I think the families really
appreciate that. That could be me in 20 years. And I hope there will be a nurse or caregiver who will say,
‘Don’t worry about anything. I’ll take care of you.’”
Ellen is beyond grateful for the attentive care her mother continues to receive. “Her health has improved and
her overall state of mind and mood has risen to her best level in some years,” Ellen says. “She’s gained some
needed weight, has a better appetite, is socializing more and feels comfortable and at home at Wolk Manor.
I can’t tell you how valuable this is for her, and for those who love her.”
What does person-centered care mean to you?
“It means helping families navigate the maze of information they encounter and helping them
understand what choices are available through our continuum of care.”
–Jean Thomas, marketing associate
“It’s making sure our residents are happy and doing what they can for themselves.”
–Jolene Critelli, nurse
“It means making sure the resident’s needs are met throughout each day and keeping their families
up to date with what’s going on.”
–Katherine Batchelor, nurse
“I try to give care to the residents to lessen the burden on the families.”

Long-Term Care
Giving as much care and attention as possible
For more than two years, Ed Lapinski’s mother Mary was a resident of the Jewish Home’s long-term care
nursing community where she received ongoing health management and assistance with daily activities until
sadly, she passed away on April 29. During her residency, Ed visited Mary each evening, quietly observing the
acts of standout nursing aide, Wendy Fairchild Wertz, whose care, time and effort continually exceeded the
standard he’d come to expect and experience.
“Before Wendy began her late afternoon shift, she would scope out the daily activity sheet to see if there
were any programs that my mother would find enjoyable,” says Ed. “She also highlighted the ones my mother
attended earlier that day and pinned the activity sheet to the cork board in her room.”
Employed at the Jewish Home for 12 years, Wendy says she did this to ensure Ed was kept up to date on his
mother’s comings and goings, and also, because she genuinely enjoys giving the residents as much personal
care and attention as possible.
“Mary really liked music and movies,” says Wendy. “So, I tried to look at the activity sheets as soon as they
came out to see if there was anything of interest that I could take her to during my shift.”
Ed shares other examples about why Wendy’s thoughtfulness and diligence merit praise: “Wendy would make
sure my mother was using the muscles in her legs to walk to and from the dining area,” he says. “If there was
an activity or event that my mother wanted to attend immediately after dinner, Wendy would delay dressing
and prepping her for bed—putting my mother’s personal interests ahead of an established daily routine. If my
mother experienced any knots or tangles in her hair after shampooing, Wendy would leave a note for me to
consider bringing in a hair conditioner. She also knew that my mother shouldn’t go to bed with damp hair.”
Extremely grateful for Ed’s comments, Wendy reflects on what they mean to her and how her experience with
Mary impacts the care she provides for others. “It makes me feel good to be appreciated,” she says. “I just try
to do the best I can by everybody. The things I did for Mary are things I would do for other residents or even my
own grandparents.” The relationship line between Wendy and Mary seemed to blur, often taking a familial turn.
Wendy recalls a more playful time when she returned to her post after being out on vacation.
“I’d been gone for a week or so and when I went over to greet Mary, she grabbed my hand and wouldn’t let me
go,” Wendy says. “She sometimes did that so I asked her, ‘You’re not going to let me go, are you?’ And Mary
said, ‘No.’”
Wendy laughs at the memory before sharing what is perhaps the pair’s sweetest ritual of all. “Every evening,
I’d say, ‘Goodnight,’’ she says. “And then Mary would say, ‘Goodnight, honey.’”

Dietary Care
Celebrating 10 years of positive improvements
This past January marked the 10-year anniversary of Peggy Cekuta’s residency at the Jewish Home. In that
time, both she and her sister Debbie Cole—who lives in the Rochester area—have witnessed many positive
improvements to resident lifestyle. Among them are sweeping innovations to the Home’s puréed food program.
“My sister has been on a puréed diet for several years,” says Debbie. “I’m so thankful for the strides that
have been made to continue providing her with nutritious food. This can certainly be a challenge, especially
since Peggy is a picky eater. The new choices allow my sister to enjoy puréed dishes that look as pleasing as
they taste.”
Diet technician Debra Demarest has been there every step of Peggy’s food journey and understands the
challenges of transitioning residents to a puréed diet.
“Food is very personal,” says Debra. “And everyone likes what they grew up with or what they’re used to.
We work on preferences and really try to make each person feel special by giving them everything they
need to feel like this is really their home.”
Rhondalyn Bell, who works as the Home’s purée coordinator, explains her role in the purée program’s
evolution. “Two and a half years ago I was told to take the program and run with it. I spent the first year
developing recipes from scratch and taste testing them all to create several menu staples. Next, I introduced
the use of puréed food molds, which mimic the look of regular solids.”
For Peggy, this was a key turning point. Her favorite meals and desserts were beautifully brought back to life
and she went from picky eater to enjoying meal times. The food molds improved the appearance and texture
of each dish—offering her greater variety and the ability to dine with dignity.
“Since the day she arrived at the Jewish Home, Peggy has been cared for with compassion, kindness and
professionalism,” says Debbie. “The staff has seen her through some rough times and has made the good
times even better. The care they give her means the world to me.”
What does person-centered care mean to you?
“Making each person feel special by giving them everything they need to feel like this is
really their home.”
–Debra Demarest, diet technician
“It means going above and beyond to make the resident feel like we’re going out of our way
to make them happy. We want everything to be individualized for everybody.”
–Rhondalyn Bell, purée coordinator

Gift-Shop/Volunteer
Reinvigorating spirits and sales
Located just off the Jewish Home’s concierge desk, the gift shop was once so lackluster, many didn’t realize
it existed. That’s when shop coordinator Charlotte Lawson stepped in to reinvigorate the space with new
merchandise and colorful displays.
The makeover didn’t happen overnight. Charlotte first took thoughtful steps to get vital feedback from
coworkers, gift shop volunteers and residents about the kinds of merchandise she should consider having
on hand.
“Refreshing items on a small budget threatened to be an initial challenge,” says Charlotte. “However, once I got
the information I needed, I began searching for a range of quality products that are unique, fun and affordable.
Nowadays, I just go with my gut and hope I’m getting it right.”
The delighted expressions of enjoyment and appreciation from gift shop visitors reveal she has. Charlotte
admits it’s been a humbling and culturally satisfying experience.
“Selecting different items for the shop has been really interesting and exciting,” says Charlotte. “I enjoy talking
with residents and often see my own grandmother—who raised me as her own—in their faces. The items they
purchase also remind me of her.”
Robin Wettenstein, who has volunteered at the gift shop for four years, says she simply enjoys giving back
to the Jewish Home and helping others. Robin’s daughter Susan has lived at the Home for a decade and her
mother was also a resident for five years.
“Donating my time feels like a small thing. I’ve made lap robes for the residents on floors three through six
and am now working on ones for the Adult Day members. It may not be a lot, but it’s my way of bringing joy and
comfort to the people here.”
When asked what advice she offers gift shop visitors when they need help deciding what to buy, Robin replied,
“I just tell them to go with their first instinct and select something that makes them happy.”
What does person-centered care mean to you?
“It means always being personable and supportive. It’s not just about making a sale; it’s about
ensuring that the residents—and all customers—are appreciated, respected and cared about.”
-Charlotte Lawson, gift shop coordinator

Enhancing Person-Centered Care in the Future
Jewish Senior Life continued with plans to renovate and expand its physical campus and focus on transforming
the way care is provided. JSL will be updating its 75-acre campus in Brighton, making extensive renovations to
the Jewish Home of Rochester and building smaller Green House homes for long-term care in order to deliver
on its transformation to “person-centered care”.
Person-centered care focuses on people becoming more involved in directing their own care, and moving away
from an institutional model of care to an individual approach that focuses on each person’s choices of what
they want, and where and when they want it. The care provided is not just individualized, but truly centered on
each person’s desires for when to awake or sleep, when and what to eat, and what they would like to do each
day.
The plan will physically change the campus in several major ways:
• Renovating the Jewish Home, converting to all private living suites with private bathrooms on every floor,
as well as an update to the exterior.
14
•
Expanding the Transitional Care program by adding 60 percent more beds to account for an increased need
in post-acute care, and Jewish Senior Life’s local recognition as a leading provider of rehabilitative care.
•
Adding moderately priced senior rental housing.
•
• Partnering with The Green House Project® to build 14 Green House residential homes on the campus
for long-term care. The Green House model is designed to look and feel like a real home, with a large
open kitchen, dining area, great room and individual private bedrooms with private bathrooms for twelve
residents in each household.
All areas of the campus will be connected by walking paths and beautifully landscaped areas.
JSL has submitted applications for zoning with the Town of Brighton and a Certificate of Need with the
New York State Department of Health. Approvals are expected by the end of 2014.
“The focus of Jewish Senior Life has always been to provide the best quality of life for
residents and patients through our many programs and services,” said Dan Katz,
President and CEO of Jewish Senior Life. “The shift to person-centered care is part of
our effort to de-institutionalize the way we provide care. We aim to make all of our levels
of care feel like home, and tailor all of our services to each individual’s desires and goals.”
The Jewish Senior Life Foundation aims to raise 25 percent of the project’s $100 million cost through its
Power of One campaign. Completion of this extensive Master Campus Plan is anticipated to occur in 2016.
15
The Green House Project
One of the most notable examples of person-centered care is THE GREEN HOUSE® project. This model
creates residential homes that look, feel and operate like private homes for 10 to 12 residents where they can
live comfortably and receive long-term care.
The Green House Project is an evidence based model that returns control, dignity and a sense of well-being to
our residents. By transforming the environment, organizational structure and philosophy of long-term care, the
resident is placed at the center of the model where they can grow and thrive in a family-like environment that
allows resident and staff to build relationships. This transformation addresses the most profound problems
facing elders today – loneliness, helplessness and boredom.
The Green House model is based on three fundamental core values: Meaningful Life, Empowered Staff and
Real Home. These values play an important role in successfully implementing and sustaining the integrity of
The Green House model.
•
16
Meaningful Life - As determined by each individual. The focus is on choice, control, autonomy, and the
development and maintenance of close relationships within each house. Each elder is deeply known as
an individual with unique care needs, interests, habits, and preferences.
•
Empowered staff - A complete organizational redesign, supporting the development of versatile workers
operating in a self-managed work team. This team of consistent staff provides the day-to-day care of the
residents and a smooth functioning of the Green House home.
•
Real Home - A residential environment that is home to 10-12 people. While maintaining high clinical
standards found in a skilled care environment, each Green House home fights to stave off an institutional
setting found in many skilled long-term care facilities.
Jewish Senior Life has partnered with The Green House Project to construct a total of six green houses as part
of our Master Campus Plan. Four buildings will have three households – one household per floor, and two will
be one-story buildings with one household each. Each resident will have their own private room and bathroom,
and will share a large living room, open kitchen, dining area and outdoor space. Residents have easy access to
all areas of the house and are free from schedules – they can eat when and what they want, sleep when they
want, and entertain when and where they choose. Residents are encouraged to make themselves at home and
decorate their private rooms with their own belongings.
In this Green House model, residents needing long-term care will live in a comfortable, homelike setting that
truly supports person-centered care.

2013 Highlights
Jewish Home of Rochester
Achieves Five-Star Quality
Ranking
In 2013, the Jewish Home of Rochester
achieved a Five-Star Quality Ranking
from the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS). A Five Star
Ranking is the highest rating that can
be achieved under the CMS rating
system and only a small number of
nursing homes achieve a Five-Star
Ranking nationwide.
CMS created the Five-Star Quality
Rating System to help consumers
compare nursing homes more easily
and to help them identify important
areas of focus when considering a
nursing home for a loved one.
Rankings are based on the ratings in
three areas:
health inspections– including both
annual Department of Health surveys
and any complaint surveys
staffing– based on the average
number of hours of care that are
provided to each resident each day
by nursing staff and
quality measures – information on nine
different physical and clinical measures
that show how well nursing homes are
caring for their residents’ needs.
Nursing homes with Five-Star Quality
rankings are considered to provide
higher quality care than those with
lower rankings. Jewish Senior Life
President & CEO, Dan Katz credits
the caring and dedicated staff of the
Jewish Home for this Five-Star Quality
Ranking achievement.

Jewish Senior Life had the rare honor of receiving both silver and bronze awards
in McKnight’s Excellence in Technology Awards for Dignity through Technology,
which recognizes a facility or community that harnessed technology to improve
the level of dignity its residents enjoy.

The silver honor was given to JSL’s Scan-Dent system, which uses radio frequency
embedded in dentures, eyeglasses and hearing aids to track when these oftenlost items end up in the trash or laundry. Scan-Dent was implemented at the
Jewish Home of Rochester, where an alarm sounds whenever a tagged item
comes into the central trash room or laundry room, allowing it to be located
before it can be thrown out or run through the washer, saving the user hundreds
or thousands of dollars to replace the items. Additional technology allows
residents to employ a handheld transmitter to locate the misplaced tagged item
in their rooms.
JSL’s dining program received bronze honors for its revolutionary use of
aesthetics in presenting puréed foods. JSL developed its own molded and puréed
food program for residents who need a puréed diet. A combination oven and
steamer allows the molded and shaped items to be cooked thoroughly and
maintain moisture while being presented in visually appealing assemblage that
makes mealtime an enjoyable experience. Using the organization’s electronic
medical record system, staff tracked data relevant to those in the puréed foods
program. Results thus far have showed a 30 percent increase in stable weights
for those residents.
“Jewish Senior Life is focused on enabling our residents to have the best possible
quality of life. Situations in which essential items are lost, or residents are only
able to eat puréed food can lead to feelings of anxiousness, discomfort and a loss
of dignity,” said Travis Masonis, Chief Information Officer at JSL. “We aim to utilize
the most state-of-the-art technology to keep our residents comfortable so they
can turn their attention to enjoying their lives.”
“My sister has been on a pureed diet for years. We are so thankful for the
strides that have been made with pureed food. Debbie Demerest, Peggy’s
dietician, has always worked to provide Peggy with nutritious food. This can
certainly be a challenge with a pureed diet and a picky eater. Peggy certainly
enjoys the great pureed dishes that look as pleasing as they taste”.

The Summit at Brighton
Celebrates 15 Years
The Summit at Brighton celebrated its
15th anniversary with special events
for residents, as well as a separate
event for the greater community to
come in and experience The Summit
for themselves.
The Open House event for the
community resembled a progressive
dinner party, with each area of The
Summit featuring different types of
food. In the cocktail lounge wine and
appetizers were served while a band
played; the Terrace Grill featured lamb
chops and chicken Thai skewers
surrounding a large ice sculpture of
The Summit logo; the café served
biscotti and cappuccino; and the
model apartment had an assortment
of desserts and coffee. Resident
Ambassadors gave tours and talked
about living at The Summit, giving each
attendee a parting gift as they left.
Residents celebrated with a series
of events- a cocktail party, a special
dinner and musical entertainment.
One of the highlights of the resident
celebration was an essay contest on
“Why I Like Living at The Summit”. The
essays were so well-written that there
was a three-way tie for the best essay.
All three of the winning essay authors –
Roslyn Weiman, Florence Prawer
and Estelle Weiner – have lived at The
Summit since it first opened fifteen
years ago, one of them saying, “The
Summit is friends; The Summit is
family; The Summit is home”.
2013 Highlights continued
Marian’s House: The First Year
Marian’s House completed its first year of operation filled with busy days and happy guests. Programs and
activities such as music therapy, pet therapy, baking, art projects, and outdoor cookouts are just a few
examples of how each day is filled with meaningful activities and interactions.
Marian’s House is a daytime retreat home for people with early to mid-stage Alzheimer’s and other related
dementias. Services include daytime meals, activities, specialized programming and supervision in a warm,
residential neighborhood setting. It is one of the only daytime memory care programs in the area to employ
a full-time, live-in registered nurse fully trained in Alzheimer’s, dementia and memory care.
A dedication event was held in June to show appreciation to the donors that made Marian’s House possible.
The Farash Foundation provided the lead gift to name the retreat ‘Marian’s House’, in honor and memory
of Marian M. Farash. Significant gifts were also received by Larry & Jane Glazer, William & Sheila Konar
Foundation, Burton Gordon & Family, John & Jayne Summers Foundation, Ames-Amzalak Memorial Trust,
and Alfred & Harriet Feinman Foundation. At the dedication, a beautiful, contemporary art installation was
unveiled to acknowledge these generous and caring individuals
“We know caring for those with memory problems is a labor of love,” said Dan Katz, CEO of Jewish Senior Life.
“We’re proud to offer a comfortable home in a neighborhood setting that gives at-home caregivers the time to
work, take care of their own needs and enjoy some much-needed private time to relax and recharge.”

New Level of Care Added
to the JSL Continuum
In April of 2013, construction began
on The Lodge at Wolk Manor, a Special
Needs Assisted Living Residence that
features 14 private rooms and 2
companion suites to accommodate a
total of 18 people with Alzheimer’s
and other dementias. The community
was essentially completed by the end
of the year, with move-ins beginning in
early 2014.
The layout of the building is based
on a Green House® footprint that
resembles a large private home.
Bright, open spaces include a spacious
kitchen and dining area; living rooms;
a great room with a fireplace, TV, card
tables and comfortable seating; a
multipurpose activities room; a hair
salon; and an enclosed courtyard and
gardens for use in warm weather.
Resident rooms are spacious and
feature bathrooms with large walk-in
showers, built-in wardrobe
entertainment units, and large
windows overlooking landscaped
areas. The circular layout of the
building also allows for indoor walking.
A new team of staff were recruited
and trained in December, with all
employees receiving specialized
training in memory care and dementia.
This training is ongoing and extensive
based on the criteria for Jewish Senior
Life being a Center of Excellence in
Memory Care. Residents began
moving in the first quarter of 2014 and
the Lodge at Wolk Manor is currently
fully occupied with just a couple more
move-ins scheduled. Residents,
families and staff are all adjusting
well to The Lodge and each other.
A Farewell Tribute to
Dr. Bernard Shore
When Dr. Bernard (Bernie) Shore began his tenure on the medical team at the Jewish Home in July of 1986, he
was the only full-time physician on staff. There was no short-term rehabilitation, transitional care, respite care
or hospice support. It was a time when people were exploring areas in eldercare that no one had paid attention
to before. Now, 28 years later, Shore will retire from his career in the medical field, moving on to pursue the
next chapter in his life.
“There has been enormous change over my years with the Jewish Home,” said Shore. “Changes in Jewish
Senior Life, changes in the field of geriatrics, in health care delivery, in the expectations of patients and
families and in populations served.”
Over the course of his career with JSL, Shore served as medical director and attending physician at the
Jewish Home, leading many of the organization’s progressive efforts to expand its programs and services
for residents.
In 1988, Shore joined the American Medical Directors Association (AMDA), a national group that provides
education and advocacy for post-acute and long-term care medical programs. Using the knowledge he had
gained from his work at JSL and connections with the AMDA, Shore helped build and maintain the Jewish
Home’s reputation for excellence in medical care, and dedicated his career to improving the community’s
care for elders by educating physicians, nurses and others in geriatric principles.
Under the leadership of Shore and JSL’s medical team, the Jewish Home continued to grow, introducing adult
day care, increasing rehabilitation services, expanding the transitional care unit, hiring and training a full-time
medical staff, launching the Jewish Home’s hospice services and eventually implementing the Physician House
Calls program. The team also secured a grant to be one of the first facilities in New York State to go restraintfree and joined the Culture Change movement to help promote person-directed values and practices across
the JSL campus.
Shore was instrumental in introducing physician assistants and nurse practitioners to the medical team.
His passion for learning and strong medical expertise also led him to build a long-standing educational program
for internal and family medicine residents, helping new generations of medical professionals gain a better
perspective of eldercare.
During his time with the Jewish Home, Shore made a concerted effort to improve end-of-life care and helped
the Jewish Home become the first nursing home in Rochester to establish a skilled nursing facility (SNF)
hospice program for its residents. As part of that process, he was also able to participate in the communitywide
efforts for this initiative, and helped shape the Medical Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (MOLST) form,
which is now a standard in New York State.
Late in 2007, Shore made the decision to devote his time to clinical care at the Jewish Home.
22
“It was a very important
decision for me and good for
the Home,” said Shore. “I was
also lucky enough to work
with great medical directors,
Brian Heppard MD, then Karyn
Leible MD, after I elected to
divest of administrative duties.
I’m grateful I was able to
continue here as an active
team member.”
In recognition of his outstanding
achievements at the Jewish
Home, Shore has been honored
with several awards throughout
the years, including the Rochester
Business Journal’s Healthcare
Achievement Award and an award
from the New York Association of
Home and Services for the Aging
(now known as LeadingAge NY).
As a husband, father and grandfather, Shore looks forward to spending his retirement with his loving family
and plans to further explore his love for the outdoors, through hiking, birding, photography and biking. He also
has a passion for reading and would like to become a more serious writer over the next few years.
Shore’s vast medical knowledge, strong sense of compassion and unending support of the advancement
of eldercare in the Rochester community have contributed to a successful and honorable career with the
Jewish Home. His dedicated service and tremendous accomplishments have helped shape the vision and
direction of Jewish Senior Life for years to come.
“I have always regarded this work as amazingly gratifying and a privilege, and never viewed medicine as simply
an academic enterprise or technical craft,” said Shore. “It is the human interaction, the bending of knowledge
and skills to help relieve suffering and provide support to the human spirit at the same time—that seems to be
the essence of medical care.”

Foundation Letter
Celebrating the Heart of Jewish Senior Life
The theme of this year’s annual report focuses on a legacy of caring, a celebration of life as portrayed and
embraced through the concept of person-centered care. For those of us at Jewish Senior Life, person-centered
care is our effort to provide our elders the care and nurturing they need that respects and values their
uniqueness. It’s about living the lives they want to live in the best way that they can in an environment that
gives them choice, compassion, personal health, and that empowers them to live their lives as they wish.
The Jewish Senior Life Foundation was started 35 years ago based upon the good will and generosity of our
community. It was and is based upon a legacy of philanthropy that touches the lives of those individuals and
their family members that needed the care that the Jewish Home of Rochester and today Jewish Senior Life
can provide.
The heart of Jewish Senior Life is multi-faceted. The heart beats vigorously because of the wonderful work
our staff provides to those that live and pass through our doors. The heart can also be seen in our residents
who demonstrate each and every day the reason why the Jewish Home of Rochester and Jewish Senior Life
are so important and needed in our community.
And finally, the heart of Jewish Senior Life is our donors, those individuals who year after year make it possible
for us to touch the lives of so many. Donors who have chosen to invest their resources in the work that we
do. We are pleased that the Jewish Senior Life Foundation has supported the work of the Jewish Home of
Rochester and Jewish Senior Life in ways that at times are immeasurable. We are grateful to you, our
community, for partnering with us as we invest in critical and important resources to those that are in need
and who face enormous challenges every day.
Through our work, the Jewish Senior Life Foundation commits to the important notion that each person’s
investment in our philanthropy is important and makes a difference. The transformation that we will be going
through over the next several years will connect our community with the importance of person-centered care
and the powerful impact, the significant benefit it will have on those we serve on our campus and throughout
the community.
As we move forward together to continue our work on behalf of our elders, we ask your continued
commitment to and confidence in the notion that changing the lives of those we serve here on the Jewish
Senior Life campus will also change your life! We are inspired every day because we know that our work
impacts the lives of others. This would not be possible without the generous support of our many donors and
we thank each and every one of you for believing in our mission and standing by our side. You are our heart
and soul and we thank you for helping us ensure that our community’s elders lead meaningful lives
with choice and with dignity.

Generations of Caring and Sharing
Wolk Family Continues its Legacy of Helping Others
For many years, the greater Rochester community has benefited substantially from the generosity of the
Louis S. and Molly B. Wolk Foundation. The Wolk family’s philanthropic association in greater Rochester
has meant so much to so many and is directly responsible for helping individuals in distress and in need.
Samuel Wolk began the family’s tradition of philanthropy back in the early 1940s. His sons, Louis and Paul,
as well as Louis’ wife, Molly, followed suit and continued the tradition of giving at a time when our community
needed support and leadership. Since then, the Wolk Foundation has generously assisted many area
organizations over these many years. Among them are the Al Sigl Community Center, the Jewish Community
Center, the Kidney Foundation, the American Red Cross, Genesee Hospital, and of course our own Jewish
Home and Jewish Senior Life. Today David, Marvin and Jeremy, together with the Foundation’s other
trustees, continue that vision and spirit of caring.
The Jewish Home of Rochester and today Jewish Senior Life has benefited many times from their generosity
but most importantly from their vision, commitment and trust in the work that we do throughout the Jewish
Senior Life system. Over the years, the Wolk family through the Louis S. and Molly B. Wolk Foundation has
supported the purchase of transportation services and vans for our elders here on campus. The Wolk Manor
assisted living community was made possible through a very generous donation that allowed us to bring this
special care to our community. And just this past January, the Lodge at Wolk Manor, our new assisted living
community for those with memory loss, opened and will be dedicated this spring in honor of the Wolk
Foundation and family.
We cannot express sufficiently our appreciation and gratitude for the many things they have done to help
Jewish Senior Life become the destination of choice for so many needing the programs and services we offer.
We want to thank the trustees of the Louis S. and Molly B. Wolk Foundation, Alvin L. Ureles, MD, Jeremy Wolk,
Harold Samloff, David Wolk, Marvin Wolk and Michael Berger for their willingness to carry on the legacy of the
Wolk family, and for helping all of us succeed in our very important work.

Happy 100th Birthday
Dr. Shapiro
On October 23, 2013 over 150 friends, relatives and
colleagues gathered together at the Atkin Center of
the Jewish Home to honor Dr. Morris Shapiro on his
100th Birthday, and to thank him for his leadership and
dedication to Jewish Senior Life, the Jewish community,
the medical profession and the Rochester community.
A respected physician, philanthropist, upstanding
citizen, husband, father and dear friend, Dr. Shapiro
has received numerous accolades over the course of
his career. He has served on 18 boards, has received
14 special awards and honors, including seven
“Man of the Year” awards and has had several facilities
named in his honor, including an operating suite in the
Schneider Children’s Hospital in Petah Tikvah, Israel,
and most recently an Emergency Department
Conference Room at Strong Memorial Hospital.
Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks kicked off
the celebration by declaring October 23, Dr. Morris
Shapiro Day. When Jewish Senior Life CEO Dan Katz
asked those attending if anyone in their family had
been operated on by Dr. Shapiro, almost the entire
audience raised their hands!
One of the highlights of the evening was a candle
lighting ceremony moderated by special friend and
Jewish Senior Life & JSL Foundation Board member,
Michael Cooper. Representatives of Morrie’s family,
Jewish Senior Life, the Jewish community and the
medical community each lit a candle -- one for each
decade of Morrie’s exemplary life.
Still giving back to the community at 100 years old,
Dr. Shapiro recently established The Miriam F. &
Morris J. Shapiro, M.D. Chapel & Meditation Room
Fund at the Jewish Home. In lieu of gifts for his 100th
Birthday, over 50 family members and friends have
contributed to this fund.
Few people have had the impact Dr. Shapiro has
had on so many facets of our community.
Thank you Morrie, from all of us.
In Memoriam
June Kamman Leaves Special Legacy
Given the opportunity, most of us would like to
feel we have made a lasting contribution toward
a better world; that our lives have touched and
impacted others in special ways. We would like to
experience the feeling of satisfaction that we have
helped perpetuate something that is meaningful
and worthwhile. That satisfaction may come
through the volunteer work we do, through the
acts of loving kindness that we extend to others
in greater need, or in the philanthropy that we
give. Sometimes those acts of loving kindness and
philanthropy come from unexpected sources - from
modest, humble individuals in our community that
are private in the work they do for our community.
At the end of 2012 the Jewish Senior Life
Foundation received one of these special and
unique gifts through the estate of June Kamman.
Not a lot is known about June Kamman, other
than she indeed was a very modest, very humble,
and yet a committed individual that cared deeply
for the community in which she lived and worked.
Never married, she had no children and yet
found a way to connect to and feel compassion
for others through the work that the Jewish
Home of Rochester was doing in our community.
Unbeknownst to the leadership of our Foundation,
June left a bequest following her death that
provided more than $1.1 million to support the
work of our Jewish Senior Life family.
We extend to June Kamman posthumously our
heartfelt thanks and gratitude for this investment
and commitment to the work of Jewish Senior Life.
It is our hope that June’s gracious show of support
will be an example to others as they consider their
work in our community, and that they also consider
the place that Jewish Senior Life may have in their
estate plans. Most importantly, we hope that
June’s memory will forever be a blessing to those
that knew her and to those of us that didn’t have
that same privilege.

Our Jewish community and the Jewish Senior Life family lost
two special members of our family this past year, Etta Atkin
and Robert “Bob” Weinberg. Both Bob and Etta left a
special and impactful legacy for Jewish Senior Life.
Bob Weinberg together with his
wife and partner, Adelaide (Arky)
have been active supporters of the
Jewish Home of Rochester since
its early days on St. Paul Street.
Arky, now a resident at the Jewish
Home of Rochester, talks about
Bob’s passion for our JSL family
and how he was inspirational in
publishing the Family Among
Families book telling the story of the Jewish Home of Rochester
over its first 75 years, and the Honoring the Promise book
written in conjunction with the 90th Anniversary celebration
of the Jewish Home. Bob and Arky gave their time and talent
to making sure that both the history and the future of the
Jewish Home of Rochester was remembered and secured.
Some years ago Bob noted, “If we do not know and
appreciate the past, we will never be able to embrace the
future with confidence.”
Bob will be remembered for his long standing commitment
to our work, and may his memory be forever a blessing to
all of us.
A driving force in Rochester’s Jewish
Community for more than 50 years,
our community has lost a true
Woman of Valor, Etta Atkin.
For those of us who had the honor
of knowing Etta at Jewish Senior
Life through her dedicated service
on the Jewish Home Board, the
Senior Housing Board and the
Jewish Home Foundation Board, we are grateful to have
been touched by her legacy of giving.
A pillar of the Rochester community, Etta impacted thousands
of people during her lifetime through her community service
and philanthropy to many organizations throughout Greater
Rochester, including Temple B’rith Kodesh, the Jewish
Federation, the Women’s Interfaith Coalition and, of
course, Jewish Senior Life. In all of her work, Etta brought

In Appreciation of Our Donors
During 2013, the Jewish Senior Life Foundation hosted
several events to thank our Golden Alliance and Platinum
Circle donors for their generosity to Jewish Senior Life.
This past June, over 300 Golden Alliance members
attended our 25th anniversary celebration of the Golden
Alliance at the Memorial Art Gallery, honoring Golden
Alliance founders Dr. Morris Shapiro, Myron (Mike) Silver
and Fred Kravetz (of blessed memory).
sh
s,
Since its inception, the Golden Alliance has involved
and energized hundreds of people who have become
supporters and leaders of the Home as well as annual
contributors. The outpouring of support has been
phenomenal, a tribute to the deep affection that people
in the Jewish community feel for the Home.
r
ds
a high degree of total involvement and engagement that
was infectious.
The staff and boards of Jewish Senior Life and the Jewish
Senior Life Foundation extend our sincerest heartfelt
condolences to Etta’s family and friends.
Midway through its first year of operation in 1988,
the Golden Alliance had raised over $130,000 in donor
support. Today, the Golden Alliance has over 400
members and raises over $400,000 annually to make
sure residents’ lives are enriched and full, every day.
May her legacy and memory be forever a blessing.
31
We thanked members of our new leadership
giving society, the Platinum Circle, for their
generosity at two celebrations this past year.
At a private cocktail party in the heart of this
summers’ Xerox Rochester International Jazz
Festival and in the fall, at a Sukkot Tapas and
Wine Pairing at Next Door Bar & Grill.
Thank you again Golden Alliance and Platinum
Circle members. You truly make a difference
in the lives of the older adults served by
Jewish Senior Life.
