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 President & CEO Mark Kolko Jewish Senior Life Board Chair 3 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. 4 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. 5 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. 6 “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.” –Elizabeth Wagner, nurse 7 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.’” 8 What does person-centered care mean to you? “Taking residents to the activities they enjoy, talking to them and giving as much personal care and attention as possible.” -Wendy Fairchild Wertz, nursing aide 9 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 10 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 13 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. 17 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. 18 Jewish Senior Life Awarded for Technological Advancements Programs help improve level of dignity for residents Th Ce 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. Th 15 for ev co for 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”. –Debbie C, Resident’s Sister Th co din Su foo ap pla ch su Th bis mo of Am ab att Re of din On ce “W es wa All Ro an Su ye Su fam s cy s ed le ss ze ly 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.” Ne to In on Ne fea co tot an wa of ea Th on res Br kit ag tab mu sa ga Re fea sh en win are bu An an em tra Th ba Lif Me mo the ful mo fam we 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.” 23 Financials 2013 Consolidated (thousands) 2013 Revenue Nursing Facility Transitional Care Outpatient/ADHC Sr. Housing (Summit/Wolk) Non-operating Misc./other 57.4% 16.9% 5.6% 12.7% 4.0% 3.4% Total revenue $31,170 $9,158 $3,033 $6,887 $2,175 $1,861 $54,284 2013 Expenses Nursing Facility Transitional Care Outpatient/ADHC Sr. Housing (Summit/Wolk) Property expenses $32,447 $7,077 $1,170 $7,506 $5,268 Total expenses $53,468 Revenue Expenses $54,284 $53,468 Surplus $816 Audited as of 12/31/2013 24 60.7% 13.2% 2.2% 14.0% 9.9% 4.0% 12.7% 5.6% 3.4% 2013 Revenue Nursing Facility Transitional Care Outpatient/ Adult Day Care Sr. Housing (Summit/Wolk) Non-Operating Revenue Misc. 57.4% 16.9% 5.6% 1 2.7% 4.0% 3.4% 57.4% 16.9% 9.9% 14.0% 2.2% 2013 Expenses Nursing Facility Transitional Care Outpatient/ Adult Day Care Sr. Housing (Summit/Wolk) Property Expenses 60.7% 13.2% 2.2% 14.0% 9.9% 60.7% 13.2% 25 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. Joel Weiss Vice President of Advancement Jewish Senior Life Foundation Michael Haymes President Jewish Senior Life Foundation Board 27 H D On co the 10 de the 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. 28 Ar cit ha his 14 “M na Sc an Co Mo the Sh as be au On lig Jew Mi Jew me de Sti Dr Mo Fu Bir co Fe ha Th 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. 30 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 ah wa Th Se co Ma t e er 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. z d m Special Purpose Funds Over the years the caring generosity of individuals and families has led to the creation of a variety of special purpose funds that are used for a wide-range of purposes.
