D e a r B e n e f a c t o r s ,

When we changed our name eight years ago — from Allegheny East Mental Health/Mental Retardation Centers to Milestone Centers — we did so knowing that our new identity would be very fitting, and an appropriate description of who and what Milestone is.

The word Milestone means an important point in the progress or development of something. It marks an important event or advancement. It is a life-altering event, or a start of a new chapter in life.

Every day progress is experienced within our community. Just ask Billy, a teen who found the perfect Host Home parent with Belinda Lovall. Was finding a Host Home for Billy a life-altering event? You bet! He no longer lives on the streets.

And then there is CC, a huge Elvis fan and faithful employee at Milestone’s Work Activity Center. Quiet but engaging, CC was also looking for a home after the death of her mother. She clicked with Debbie Patterson, a Life Sharing provider, and has found happiness again. The same holds true for Dottye, an artist and regular participant at Milestone’s New Horizon Senior Center. Both middle-aged women are content and enjoying the care they deserve.

Does that qualify as an important progress, a new chapter in life? Of course!

Billy, CC and Dottye represent three of the 2,209 persons served within the Milestone Community during FY14. We believe each person and their families engaged in our programs also know the Milestone experience. Everything we do — be it technology upgrades, capital improvements, training, program enhancements — is for the betterment of the people entrusted to our care.

We have you, 261 benefactors, to thank for supporting our work. We are indebted to several foundations for generous grants, to businesses for their contributions, and to individuals for their gifts through special events and appeals.

With you, the potential exists to change lives every day.

Sincerely,

Greg Gendron

FY2014 At-a-Glance

Milestone and our clients had much to celebrate during the fiscal year. Clockwise from top:Deaf clients learned new ways of expression

with Bodiography Movement Therapy in the summer of 2014; in September, Milestone Health Care Home presented its annual Wellness Week, with music, dance, exercise and more; Milestone hosted a live on-site broadcast with NewsRadio 1020 KDKA in October; our CoffeeHouse program continued its recreational activities for clients in Lawrenceville and Monroeville; and Milestone launched a new and improved website in January, 2015.

Social Networking: Senior Style

Milestone’s Director of Senior Services, Paula Fischer, oversees Milestone’s New Horizon Senior Center in Penn Hills, and she has a

real passion for working with older clients.

New Horizon serves individuals, typically over the age of 50, with intellectual and developmental disabilities. About 26 local seniors will be at the Center on any given weekday from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Paula launched the senior program in 1993 and has been its driving force ever since. Typical days include morning discussions about weather and the latest news, and arts & crafts. All activities are designed to encourage interaction, socialization and life skills.

“I realized years ago when I was working with groups of Milestone clients that the seniors in the group had different needs than the younger members,” said Paula. “Sitting down and talking with our clients, listening to their stories, is why I love what I do.”

Dottye has been attending the senior center since 2006 — and is eager to share her story with an ever-present twinkle in her eye. Dottye, who also has cerebral palsy, doesn’t hesitate to tell you that she spent 17 years in an institution — but that Milestone has made all the difference in her life.

“Milestone treats me like an adult, the people here care about me,” she said.

Dottye particularly enjoys the art aspect of the senior center. She paints pictures of butterflies, hillsides, the sea and other settings inspired by nature.

“Milestone focuses on Dottye’s strengths,” Paula said. “And she has many.”

Debbie and CC enjoy looking at CC’s photo album of Elvis performances.

Feeling Right at Home

By day, CC is employed at Milestone’s Work Activity Center in Monroeville. When not at work, she enjoys a cup of hot tea, shopping,

“Family Feud” and all things Elvis. And it’s all provided with a dose of love from her Life Sharing provider, Debbie Patterson.

Milestone’s Life Sharing service matches clients who have developmental disabilities and are in need of a home with individuals or families who provide a welcoming environment.

After the death of CC’s mother in 2011, CC visited Debbie’s Verona home for a respite care weekend and made it clear she wanted to stay. There was an instant connection.

“I love Debbie, she takes great care of me,” said CC, 57, with an infectious smile.

“My family is love, and I couldn’t have CC here if there wasn’t a lot of love,” said Debbie. “This is my calling.”

Billy’s Gift: A Chance for the Future

Just as the 2014 holiday season began, 17-year old Billy found himself homeless. Billy’s mother, who Billy stated has addiction and mental health issues,

kicked him out of the house. “It’s horrible not having family to help you,” the young man said.

Allegheny County’s Office of Children, Youth and Families stepped in, but a possible out-of-home placement meant Billy might not be able to continue with his cosmetology training at Forbes Road Career & Technology Center. Billy already had a vested interest in continuing the program; this was his path to a career and his own independence.

“You can be an artist with anything—doing hair, painting a picture,” Billy said with pride. “I plan on becoming a teacher at my own cosmetology school. I want to give a good aspect to

younger kids who want to do cosmetology; I want to own my own business and school.”

At this time Billy was already receiving school-based therapy services from Milestone. When Milestone staff

and Host Home Clinician Angela Nadarajan realized what was happening with Billy, they jumped to his aid. “We worked as a team – Billy, his Host Home parent Belinda Lovall, and myself,” said Angela. “Belinda was very cooperative and worked diligently with me. She wanted to do what needed to be done so Billy could be in her home before the holidays.”

On Dec.14, Billy was placed in Milestone’s Host Home program with Belinda. “This was my best Christmas present, ever,” claimed

Billy. “Things are going good. I feel like I’ve been here forever. It doesn’t even feel like I am in that situation anymore; it feels like I belong here.”

Host Home Parent Belinda Lovall was dedicated to giving Billy a normal teenage environment where Billy is now thriving.

D e a r B e n e f a c t o r s ,

Whether I am sitting at my desk or walking from one Milestone office to another in Wilkinsburg, I always know when George is near. The man can whistle like no one I’ve ever known. It’s a clear-pitched, rich whistle reminiscent of Otis Redding’s classic song “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay.”

One day I saw George outside Milestone’s Chain of Hope Drop-In Center and asked him how he came to whistle like that. The elderly man exclaimed: “Why, I been blessed. That’s all.”

I hear that a lot among our clients. They’ve been “blessed” with family and friends, many of whom are women and men with developmental and behavioral health challenges served by Milestone. Our clients describe themselves as being “blessed” to have someplace to go, like our Lawrenceville Support Center, Nelson Therapeutic Activity Center in Monroeville, Penn Center programs in Pittsburgh, and the drop-in center.

Many call themselves “blessed” to live within Milestone’s supervised homes and apartments, and to have Milestone staff manage their matters.

Milestone is “blessed” — fortunate and happy — to serve the 2,209 men and women in our care during FY2014. The organization is blessed in that same regard for the many businesses, foundations and individuals who supported fundraising efforts through special event participation and sponsorships, holiday appeals and grants that allowed Milestone to update its technology, purchase a van for clients with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities, buy lightweight wheelchairs, train staff, and replace a roof on one building.

Between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014, Milestone Development efforts brought in $559,204 toward these projects, all of which focus on expanding and improving services for our clients. As George would say, we are indeed, blessed. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Maureen Haggarty, Ph.D.Chief Officer of Development & Communications

Maureen Haggarty, Ph.D.Make plans today to be
