SPRING 2014
EXCELLENCE IS AGELESS GALA HONORS
SENIORS, CELEBRATES Abundant Life
®
More than 530 friends, business
partners, staff and residents of
Lutheran SeniorLife gathered at
Heinz Field on April 25 for the 11th
annual Excellence is Ageless Gala
and Awards Celebration. Proceeds
from the event benefit benevolent
care. This year, $201,000 was raised to
continue providing an Abundant Life®
for our residents who have outlived
their financial resources.
The Honorable Tom Ridge and
Dr. Mark Wholey, M.D. were the
Gala honorees. This award is given
to individuals age 55 and older who
have made significant contributions
to the community through profession,
service, philanthropy or leadership.
Chris Martin, president, Southwest
Region of Northwest Savings Bank
served as Gala Chairman.
Dr. Wholey is an internationally
recognized interventional radiologist,
co-founder of MEDRAD, and
an inventor of the Wholey Wire
used in vascular procedures. He is
Director of the Center for Vascular
and Neurovascular Interventions at
Allegheny General Hospital.
Mr. Ridge served as the first secretary
of the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security and is former Governor of
Pennsylvania. He is President and
CEO of Ridge Global, an international
security and risk management firm.
In his remarks, Ridge shared his
thoughts on getting older. “Aging is
just a number,” he said, noting that
many things improve as they age such
as wine and wood. People, he said,
are the same. “Getting older means
getting better.”
David Fenoglietto, president and CEO
of Lutheran SeniorLife, acknowledged
the ever-changing needs of seniors as
they age, and re-affirmed Lutheran
SeniorLife’s commitment to serve
elders in a manner that aligns with the
lifestyles and needs of older adults.
“We will continue to look ahead and
when needed or called upon, will
change the model of senior living to
ensure that each person can live with
dignity and respect, and have access
to health and wellness programs that
elevate opportunities to support a
person’s autonomy, decision making
and meaningful engagement in today’s
world.”
The evening’s festivities included a
silent auction featuring several pieces
of original art crafted by friends,

A MESSAGE
FROM THE
PRESIDENT
‘Excellence is Ageless’ is a
guiding principle of Abundant
Life® and a very appropriate
David Fenoglietto and Dr. Bill Thomas
theme for one of our most
important fund raising events of the year held recently at Heinz Field. In
partnership with our signature sponsor, Northwest Savings Bank, and Gala
Chair Chris Martin, we honored Dr. Mark Wholey, M.D. and The Honorable
Tom Ridge.
Lutheran SeniorLife is very fortunate that these leaders believe that aging
chronologically is oftentimes in discord to a person’s ability to grow and
continue to be a lifelong learner. These leaders walked alongside our
organization for a brief moment in time to support our mission and to support
the paradigm of our change initiatives to connect with elders in their daily
lives.
A few weeks earlier, we hosted Dr. Bill Thomas at the New Hazlett Theater
in Pittsburgh as he toured the country speaking about his new book.
Dr. Thomas is a nationally recognized leader who has been a true inspiration
to senior living professionals as he encourages us to change the culture of how
we connect with elders. He has led the way with initiatives like the Pioneer
Network, Eden Alternative and the Green House project. Dr. Thomas, during
his Second Wind Tour presentation, commented that each person needs
to have a deeper and more connected approach to our lives, our work and
our communities. We certainly agree, and the field of senior living and the
very culture in which we age is now being overhauled because of the type of
thinking promoted by Dr. Thomas and others.
Please take a moment to view articles and video clips of these special
occasions of celebration on the Lutheran SeniorLife website and on our
Facebook page. There are many examples of how we are changing and
growing as an organization.
Lutheran SeniorLife is committed to changing the model of how elders are
served and we are honored to have world renowned leaders join us in our
journey. Our innovation and quality outcomes will continue to evolve to
support our system-wide transformation and, most importantly, a deeper
connection to those we serve.

Portraits of Abundant Life
This on-going series highlights Lutheran SeniorLife residents,
program participants, staff and friends who are living their Abundant Life®.
‘SECOND WIND’ TOUR HIGHLIGHTS WAYS TO
AGE WITH GREATER PURPOSE, MORE MEANING
Dr. Thomas’ views of elderhood as
an honorable and valuable position
in our society mirrors Lutheran
SeniorLife’s mission to provide an
Abundant Life® for our residents
by fostering a climate of personcentered care.
In the opening monologue of
the show, Dr. Thomas explained
that adults are living in a ‘hypercaffeinated’ world, where we are led
to believe that we are only valuable
when we are being productive, and
that once we slow down to enter
elderhood, we lose our worth in
society. “Baby boomers are on the
verge of entering elderhood and they
have no idea what is yet to come,”
Dr. Thomas said, “but there is life
beyond adulthood!”
“I think that leaving one’s youth
behind is, and has always been a
painfully difficult thing to do. This is
doubly true for those who experience
aging in a society that worships
the virtues of youth. I think that a
deeper investigation of life and living
can reveal the hidden virtues of age.
Outgrowing adulthood is worthwhile
in large part because the attendant
difficulties (emotional and physical)
can lead us toward slower, deeper
Abundant life
Lutheran SeniorLife proudly
sponsored Dr. Bill Thomas,
gerontologist, author and leader in
the Culture Change movement for
older adults, and his Second Wind
Tour at the New Hazlett Theater in
Pittsburgh on April 1. Dr. Thomas’
book, Second Wind: Navigating the
Passage to a Slower, Deeper, and
More Connected Life, outlines how
to recognize and navigate through
what has the potential to be the most
fulfilling time of life – elderhood.
Dr. Bill Thomas wore stilts through part of the performance as a visual representation
of the knowledge and wisdom we gain in elderhood.

Finishing touches are being made to both the interior and exterior of the Abundant Life Center.
ABUNDANT LIFE CENTER SUPPORTS
NEW MODEL OF SENIOR LIVING
Bricks and mortar do not make a
home until there is life inside.
In just a few months, the Abundant
Life Center at Passavant Community
will come to life. It will be the heart of
campus, where people can gather to
socialize, worship and dine. But more
than that, it will be a life-affirming
environment where residents will
thrive.
“That has been our goal from the
very start,” said Laura Roy, executive
director of Passavant Community.
“When we first started this process,
yes, it was exciting to think about a
new building. But a building is just a
building. For me, it has always been
about the people living inside.”
The new Abundant Life Center
will become home to Passavant’s
personal care residents, whose private
apartments will be arranged into
households. Each household will
have a shared living space and a
kitchen area to promote socialization
4
among the residents. The building
will also house a state-of-the-art
nursing center, with 96 private rooms
and three semi-private suites, also
arranged into households. Twenty
new independent living apartments
have also been added.
Dorothy Cain, who currently lives in
Olde Main, is looking forward to the
opportunity to participate in cooking
with other members of her household.
“I used to take cooking classes,” Cain
said. “Now in my new apartment, I
can come out of my room and bake
cookies if I want to. I’ll like that. I like
to stay busy.”
The medical clinic and rehabilitation
services will also be located in the new
building. The fitness center has been
expanded and will include a swimming
pool, which can be used for recreation
or rehabilitation. “Residents are so
excited about the pool,” Roy said. “It
is something they have asked for for a
long time.”
In response to the ever-changing
needs of seniors and their expectations
as they age, the institutional model
of long corridors, hospital-like rooms
and the traditional model of care have
been eliminated in the Abundant Life
Center, which will be a more homelike setting where the care is directed
by the specific needs of each resident.
This national evolution is called
Culture Change, and is based on
person-directed values and practices,
with a focus on resident choice,
Twenty new independent living apartments have been added to the building.
dignity, respect, self-determination
and purposeful living.
Resident requests, suggestions
and opinions have been taken
into consideration throughout the
construction process, she explained.
“All of the residents here have a
voice. We wanted to listen to and
honor their voices as much as
possible. That’s what Abundant
Life® is all about.” This is most
evident, she said, in
Passavant’s Community
Life Program, where
residents drive much
of the educational,
spiritual and creative
programming. “In
the new building, we
will have additional
opportunities for these
The Abundant Life Center will
offer expanded dining options
including The Bistro (casual dining),
Baron’s Inn (formal dining), and
Creamery Café (ice cream and
coffee shop). Most of the amenities
to which residents are accustomed
will re-open in the Abundant
Life Center including the library,
Scholl Conference Center, Seaman
Memorial Chapel, Gently Used
Shop, My Day Out Center, business
center, train room, creative arts
studio (former Center for Creative
Expression), Kidd Learning Center
(former In-Service Room), business
center (former computer lab),
support services (former business
services), game room, music room
and the copy/mail room.
Once all of the residents are moved,
the oldest building on campus, Olde
Main, will be demolished, taking
with it some of Passavant’s tradition
and history. Bill Posey, who has
been a resident at Passavant for 13

years old. It was time
to replace it. I like

years, understands that it is time
for this change. “Olde Main is 100
years old. It was time to replace it.
I like Passavant and want to see it
continue to grow,” he said. “It’s like
this: if for all your life you’ve been
swimming in a pond, then you get a
bigger, better pool, do you really miss
the pond? Looking back doesn’t do
anyone any good.”

“Believe me, the Abundant Life
Center is nothing like a traditional
nursing home,” Roy said. They can
wake when they want, eat when
and what they want and decide how
they want to spend their day. There
will be spontaneity in their lives,
rather than being on the regimented
schedule that nursing homes
traditionally offer.
programs, and will continue to be
open to their suggestions. One of the
most important things we can give
our residents is a sense of meaning
and purpose.”
Roy agrees, “The residents have
been watching this come up from
the ground for three years. I have no
doubt that once everyone is moved
in to the new building they will enjoy
it and continue living an Abundant
Life®.” v
All campus residents will have access to the swimming pool,
which was designed for both recreation and rehabilitation.

FRIENDS AND FAMILY SHOW SUPPORT
AT VNA LUNCHEON
Lutheran SeniorLife’s Visiting Nurse
Association of Western PA Hospice
provides comfort care for the physical,
emotional and spiritual needs of
patients and their loved ones who are
experiencing the challenges of a lifelimiting illness. Last month, about 220
friends and families served by VNA
Hospice gathered at Butler Country
Club for the ninth annual Friendship
Luncheon to raise funds to support
the hospice program.
of the many benefits of hospice care,
support community volunteers and
bereavement activities, defray the
cost of expenses related to volunteer
training, sponsor support groups and
wish trips, and other special events
and services.
“We introduced the luncheon as an
opportunity to make time to be with
and enjoy the company of friends and
family we otherwise don’t see enough
– a ladies day out amidst the countless
demands most experience,” said Judy
Connelly, director of VNA Hospice
and Palliative Care.
“The luncheon is important for
multiple reasons. In hospice care, we
see amazing things day after day. We
hear thousands of stories involving
memories, love and regret. As illness
progresses we see endearing friend and
family relationships enter the picture
to support, love and care for the
patient. It reminds us that in this crazy
busy world, these relationships are the
most precious thing we take with us
and surround ourselves with near the
end of our life,” Connelly continued.
The event raised more than $10,000
which will be used to support patients
and their families, increase awareness
For the most part, patients requiring
hospice care are able to receive VNA
services in the place they call home,
whether it is a private residence,
assisted living facility, nursing facility
or even in a hospital. For the times
when the patient is experiencing
distressing symptoms, VNA hospice
services can be provided at its
state-of-the-art inpatient facility
in Butler, PA.
“The support for patients and families
in relationship to VNA’s Friendship
Luncheon is two-fold,” said Margie
Walsh, interim executive director
of VNA. “The proceeds from the
luncheon support continued hospice
services both in the home and at our
inpatient unit at a level for which
the community has come to count
on. In addition, it gives families the
opportunity to give back and show
support for the care their loved ones
received. We are extremely grateful
to those who support our
organization.” v
Jenna Rhodaberger, VNA Hospice bereavement coordinator (center), attended the
luncheon with her grandmothers Dorothy Mincer and Arlene Stevenson, her sister
Abby Walsh and mother Sherri Wood.

and more connected ways of living,”
Dr. Thomas said.
Dr. Thomas is the creator of The
Green House® model of senior living,
which he feels can improve the lives
of seniors by providing high quality
clinical care in an actual home
designed for just 10-12 residents,
each with private bedrooms and
bathrooms, but common spaces for
socialization and dining. Residents
here receive person-centered,
relationship-based care 24 hours
a day. Lutheran SeniorLife is
considering an opportunity to
build Green House homes on
the site of the former Aliquippa
Hospital in Beaver County. They
will be available for LIFE (Living
Independence for the Elderly)
Program enrollees needing nursing
care and others throughout the
community who are deemed nursing
home eligible by the Area Agency on
Aging. The homes will be the first of
their kind in western Pennsylvania,
and the first in the nation to partner
with a LIFE Program.
“The cinderblock walls of the
institutional nursing home are
holding us back,” said David
Farrell, senior director for The
Green House® Project, and show
participant. “These homes grow
people. They generate and sustain
genuine human warmth. Elders
that have shut down come back to
life here,” Farrell said, because they
are made to feel at home, like they
are a valued part of a family. “If you
change the architecture, you change
the thinking of the people who live
inside.”
The Second Wind Tour also featured
other speakers including Janet
Taylor, M.D., MPH; Joseph Angelelli,
Ph.D., director, Health Services
Administration, assistant professor,
School of Nursing and Health
Sciences, Robert Morris University;
and Mary Lorson, writer and
performer. Musical entertainment

TABLET DEVICES STIMULATE THE BRAIN,
ENHANCE SOCIALIZATION
The rapid evolution of technology is
presenting an opportunity to change
how people age in the 21st century,
allowing them in many ways to live a
more Abundant Life®. Tablet devices
such as the iPad support hundreds of
applications (apps) that are proving
to be extremely beneficial to the aging
population, regardless of their physical
or cognitive abilities.
Recently, staff at Passavant
Community have begun using iPads
with some residents in personal care,
nursing and the My Day Out program
with tremendous success. The iPads
were purchased through two separate
grants – one from the American
Legion Post #474 in Zelienople and
one from the Ira and Frances Wood
Charitable Trust.
“When the residents use the
iPads, what you get from them is
total engagement. It is absolutely
fascinating to watch,” said Jody
Gulish, Community Life director at
Passavant Community. Residents
have been using a variety of apps
including art, music and games, both
individually and in groups. “They are
so intrigued that when they touch the
iPad, it responds. It is beneficial to
the cognitive and creative/expressive
aspect of our care.”
Mary Ann Frederick, assisted living
activities coordinator at Passavant
Community is thrilled at the way the
residents are responding to various
apps they have explored so far. In a
group setting, she said, there is better
socialization among the residents as
they play games like Wheel of Fortune
or Family Feud, word games and
memory stimulating games. Other
residents who are lower functioning
have shown positive emotional
responses to apps involving music,
colors and pictures.
“To see them interact like this, I’m in
awe!” Frederick said.
Sharon Whalen, technology associate
for Lutheran SeniorLife, said that
the iPads and other similar tablet
devices can be very beneficial to
the aging population. “Many people
think that iPads are for kids, for fun
and games only. But there really is
something here for everyone.” Whalen
demonstrated this at her recent
presentation “What Is An iPad, and
Why Would I Want One?” for the
residents at Overbrook Pointe. Those
in attendance had a wide range of
familiarity with tablet devices, from
novice to more experienced, but all
were fascinated by just how much they
had to offer.
“Independent living residents have
different reasons for using the iPad,
and are becoming less tentative about
using technology,” Whalen said.
But for all seniors, independence
and a sense of accomplishment is
something that should be nurtured
to help them live a more Abundant
Life®. v

RESIDENTS TRAVEL THE WORLD
WITHOUT LEAVING HOME
Imagine visiting Ireland, Holland,
Mexico and other destinations
without leaving the comfort of
your own dining room. Residents
at Overbrook Pointe have the
opportunity to do just that by
participating in the Travel the World
Dining Journey, a 12-month cultural
and culinary excursion.
The program is executed by Amanda
Goldie, café manager and chef
at Overbrook Pointe, under the
guidance of Morrison Senior Living,
food service provider for Lutheran
SeniorLife. “Morrison gives me some
suggestions about what to serve each
month, but I have creative reign
when it comes to decorating, games
and other items for each dinner,”
Goldie said, adding that each meal
is made from scratch. The dining
program is offered at other Lutheran
SeniorLife locations as well.
The Dining Journey features a
different country each month.
Authentic cuisine is served, festive
decorations cover the tables and
trivia-type information is given
to the residents. Every resident
has their own ‘passport,’ which is
stamped at each of the monthly
dinners, and prizes will be awarded to
some lucky residents at the journey’s
end. In March, the St. Patrick’s Day
celebration included marinated
brisket, potato soup and potato
pancakes. Traditional Irish music
played throughout the dining room.
All of this, Goldie said, encourages
residents to share stories about
their heritage or travel or military
experiences. April’s theme was Tulips
in Holland.
“All of our residents have really
enjoyed the monthly themes so
far,” Goldie said. “The dinners have
helped to create a family atmosphere
here. When I stand back and watch
everyone enjoy these dinners it is
worth the little bit of extra effort
it takes to organize them. There’s
nothing better than seeing people
come together at a dinner table!” v

LIFE PROGRAMS BENEFIT THOSE WHO
CHOOSE TO AGE IN PLACE
As the generation of baby boomers
reaches retirement age, many are
expressing the desire to “age in
place,” which means that they
wish to live at home with support
from various services, products and
conveniences to live safely and
independently.
As a testament to the importance
and effectiveness of these
programs, LIFE Beaver County,
a partnership between Lutheran
SeniorLife and Heritage Valley
Health System, recently celebrated
its 10th anniversary. Since 2004,
relations coordinator of the LIFE
Programs. “That’s definitely enough
to fill a purse!”
Combined, the LIFE Programs
in Beaver, Butler and Lawrence
counties are currently serving more
than 500 seniors, and the number
will continue to grow with the
opening of a new LIFE center in
Armstrong County in the spring of
2015. For LIFE participants who
meet the eligibility requirements,
these services are provided at no
cost.
Adult day services are a blessing
for seniors, especially those who
live alone. For many, spending day
after day alone at home becomes
tiresome and isolating, and can lead
to feelings of depression. Having a
place to go where they are valued
and respected gives them a sense of
purpose. Transportation is provided
to and from the LIFE center, where
the participants can receive medical
services, rehabilitation services,
bathing assistance and nutritious
meals in addition to a full schedule
of activities. The number of days
per week spent at the center is
determined based on individual
need.
“From June, 2012 to July, 2013, the
LIFE Programs have provided over
28 million dollars of medical care
and services to the frail, elderly
seniors in these three counties,”
said Toni Hively.
In March, the LIFE Programs
held their first annual Purse Bash
fundraiser to benefit the LIFE
Blessings Program which provides
Christmas gifts each year to every
one of its participants. “The Purse
Bash raised more than $11,000 in its

Abundant life
The LIFE (Living Independence
for the Elderly) Programs offer
comprehensive care and services,
including adult day services to frail,
low income seniors in Beaver, Butler

innovative programs provide care for
seniors who would otherwise need
nursing home care, allowing them to
stay in their own familiar home with
their medical, functional and social
needs being addressed at the LIFE
centers.

ST. JOHN SPECIALTY CARE CENTER
AWARDED FOUR STARS
St. John Specialty Care Center in
Mars has been providing high quality
clinical management for its residents
for more than 100 years. This care was
recently recognized by the Centers
for Medicaid and Medicare Services
(CMS), the agency that governs
nursing homes across the nation, with
a four-star rating. Five stars is the
maximum any facility can achieve.
CMS ratings are used as a guide
to help caregivers and families
compare the quality of nursing
facilities, and are based on three
criteria – staffing, survey results
and quality measures. Annual state
survey results carry the most weight
when determining the star status.
Facilities must maintain annual
surveys with less than the state
average number of deficiencies,
which St. John has done for the
past two years. This is a particularly
noteworthy accomplishment for a
facility the size of St. John.
“Improving a facility’s star rating
does not just happen by chance,”
said Karen Russell, executive director
of St. John. “State survey results, in
addition to above average quality
measure outcomes, gave us the fourstar rating we achieved. Achieving
four-star status takes a dedicated team
working very hard to make things
better, not being satisfied with status
quo or mediocre performance. I am
confident that we can hang on to this
four-star rating. And why be satisfied
with four stars? Let’s aim for five!” v
