October 2015

Dear friends,

It is quite an achievement for an individual or an organization to reach

their 100th year. We are delighted that the Jewish Home has reached this

milestone and excited about what our next century of service will hold.

This organization began as something quite different, a home for orphans,

clearly a far cry from the senior services we provide today. Yet the core of

our work remains the same — a commitment to caring for those who need

support; a passion for service; and a dedication to quality.

We have evolved into an organization that serves older adults with both

health care and residential services, an organization that provides care

within and outside our walls. The needs of our community have changed

and continue to change and we have anticipated these needs and both

modified and created new services to meet those needs.

Within this annual report, you will learn more about our services and how

they impact individuals every day. We hope that you will find this report

useful and informative and please don’t hesitate to contact me if there is

any other information you might find helpful.

All the best,

Carol Silver ElliottPresident and CEO Jewish Home Family

The benchmark of any community, especially one steeped in Jewish values, is often

measured by how it responds to those at risk — and the value of that response —

gauged by sustainability and excellence over the course of time. By all measure,

the original efforts of the Hudson County Jewish community in response to the plight

of abandoned Jewish immigrant children in 1915 was impressive, but represented

only the beginning of a century long effort of committed communities and motivated

Jewish philanthropists with collective foresight and nimble vision, to continually

respond to growing needs of the most vulnerable in the community.

But perhaps the most distinguishing aspect of the one-hundred year journey of the Jewish Home Family has not been in its accomplishments or achievements, but rather the commu-nity’s support and the leadership’s ongoing commitment, not to be satisfied with the past, the present or the status quo in terms of facilities, programs, services or financial stability, but to constantly remain in the vanguard, taking strategic and proactive approaches to defining the needs of the community, and then providing the systems to effectively satisfy those needs.

There is a Wonderful Journey Ahead

Joining an organization that is celebrating its 100th birthday is an incredible gift. It has afforded me the opportunity to be a part of many wonderful centennial events and celebrate the accom-plishments of 100 years of service to the community. And it has offered a unique platform upon which to build for the future.

Achieving a centennial is no small feat, it is possible only

because of vision and dedication on the part of many individuals, over the course of many years. From humble beginnings as a small orphanage to the successful elder care organization we are today took foresight, hard work and a strong commitment to caring for those in need.

Today we are poised to continue to grow and evolve, always focused on our mission and the needs of our community. We are planning for the future, a future that we anticipate will be filled with different challenges and exciting opportunities.

Growing our home and community based services to help people “age in community” is vital, as we know that people prefer to stay home as long as possible and we want to support them in that effort. Understanding our market and changing reimbursement as well as developing new partnerships with hospitals and other providers is also key to our continued growth and success. Developing new facilities to meet the needs of both today and tomorrow is also high on our agenda, knowing that those needs will be different but equally critical. And, of course, enhancing the resident/tenant/

patient/participant experience to ensure that they not only receive care but also feel that they are “cared for” in all respects — mind, body and spirit.

I am confident both that we will “dream big dreams” and that we will accomplish them. How do I know that? Because we have the support of our boards and strong board leadership; because we have a talented and dedicated management team; because our staff understands that “this is the resident’s home in which we are privileged to work;” because our community knows that quality elder care services are part of the definition of a strong Jewish community.

There is a wonderful journey ahead for the Jewish Home Family. I hope that you will join us on that journey and help us to create that which we know we can create — services for older adults that are second to none.

As I complete my first year at the Jewish Home Family, I thank so many of you for the warm welcome and helping hands. I am grateful for the opportunity to be here and to play a role in helping this venerable organi-zation move towards an extraordinary future.

Today we are poised to continue

to grow and evolve, always focused

on our mission and the needs of

our community.

Let’s Go: Strategically and Proactively Planning for the Future

As the Jewish Home celebrates its 100th birthday, we as a com-munity have much to celebrate, and more to be grateful for. But we are here because our predecessors spent their time working instead of lauding past successes, and our successors will not celebrate with equal verve 100 years hence if we spend too much time patting ourselves on the back.

Much of our work can be distilled into a simple three-part question:

Where are we now? Where do we want to be? What is the road map for getting us from here to there?

Today, the Jewish Home is a robust, successful, profes-sionally-run and communally-embraced organization that lovingly and expertly supports our parents, siblings, spouses and friends as we and they grow older. The blessing of modern science is that we live longer than our grandparents, and its curse is that with increasing frequency we encounter situations that can erode our dignity and our comfort and our capacity for joy. The Jewish Home Family stands proudly and protectively next to and sometimes in front of our seniors, support-ing and shielding and empowering and enhancing as circumstances permit.

As we monitor the powerful forces changing the costs and reimbursement trends in healthcare, we keep two commitments firmly in mind:

1. Whatever changes in the world around us, ourcommitment to providing our elderly with thehighest level of service will not diminish.

2. We must be nimble in adjusting to changes, carefullysidestepping danger and proactively seizing opportu-nities to make us and our organization stronger.

I am proud to report that, with your help, we continue to do well on both fronts. Our service levels remain excellent, whether measured by operational metrics, financial measures or the most important report card — the satisfaction of our residents and their families.

And we have taken important, strategic and proactive steps to keep the Jewish Home Family positioned for future successes. The list of initiatives and accom-plishments from this year alone is long, and laudable, but none will be as transformative as our acquisition of a six acre parcel adjacent to the Jewish Home. This strategic expansion provides us with room to grow, and our professional team and lay leaders are hard at work imagining the world we want, and figuring out how to make it so.

It is a true joy to be associated with professionals and volunteers and donors who share an unshakable commitment to our seniors, a deservedly sober assess-ment of the world around us and a passionate refusal to tolerate anything short of excellence. This combination has served the Jewish Home Family and its residents well for its first 100 years, and, as Wilson Mizner said, “the first 100 years are the hardest.”

Let’s go!

The Jewish Home Foundation: Connecting the Community’s Support to Enable Fulfillment of Our Mission

While this daunting task is accomplished in many ways, the Foundation’s Boneh Olam Annual Giving Program has become the cornerstone of the annual operational fundraising effort, and its continuous success has allowed the Foundation to play a major role in supporting the critical daily financial needs of our service entities. In 2015, the program grew to 171 families donating a praiseworthy $14 Million to support operations. Over the past thirteen years, the program has provided over $12.5 Million in operational funding.

This past year, the Foundation was honored to facilitate the yearlong celebration of our Centennial. Over 30 events were free and open to the community. The goal was not to celebrate past accomplishments, but rather to inform and educate board members, professional staff and members of the community about the delivery of quality eldercare in the future, making sure we are well positioned for “our next 100 years.”

What will that mean for the Jewish Home Foundation? We are certain that the Foundation will be called upon to help provide financial support for physical growth and innovative programs and services that will allow the Jewish Home Family to stay on the cutting edge. We are ready!

The Jewish Home Foundation and the Jewish Home Family, its boards, our residents and family members and all those whose lives are touched each day, thanks each and every member of the community whose mu-nificence enables the Jewish Home to better the quality of life for so many. We invite others in the community to participate in this wonderful opportunity and Jewish imperative to “honor our elderly” and to help make a difference.

Our Next Century Starts Now!

The Annual Report of the Jewish Home Family profiles the enormous impact that our service agencies provide to seniors, their families and those in the community that require our services. The character and quality of a community is often gauged by how it takes care of its elderly; ours is truly a 100 year story of continuous com-mitment and success of taking care of the most vulnerable and those in need.

In fulfilling our mission to provide the financial where-withal for the delivery of healthcare, educational and life enriching care and programming to all the Jewish Home Family care recipients, the Foundation is pleased to fulfill the role of facilitator — playing our part in linking the

community’s philanthropic largess to the Jewish Home’s ability to deliver exemplary care and services.

Over the course of our 100 year history, this philan-thropic support responded and continues to respond, to the areas that require funding — capital dollars to build and maintain state-of-the-art facilities — endow-ment investment to ensure the perpetuation of care and programming, legacy giving to further guarantee the organization’s financial stability well into the future and of course, the day-to-day operational subsidy that allows the Jewish Home Family to provide care and services to all those in need regardless of financial ability.

Financial Operating Recap

Jewish Home at Rockleigh continues to maintain a near full occupancy which averaged 98.3% in 2014 and 98.8% year to date 2015. In 2014, JHR gener-ated positive net income, cash flow and exceeded all required bank covenants for our current financing arrangements.

Jewish Home Assisted Living averaged 100 occupied units and 103 residents in 2014. JHAL also generated positive net income and cash flow. In July 2014, JHAL escalated their debt amortization with an additional payment of $500,000.

Jewish Home at Home, while generating an operating loss did experience increased revenue in the consolidated programs of 2.6%, or $60,950, including a 28% increase in Geriatric Care Management. In December 2014 we received a donation of a new transpor-

tation bus which has allowed us to expand our Adult Day Services into Rockland County, growing census and serving an underserved population.

Accountable Care Organizations, Value Based Payments and Bundles (Oh My!)Reimbursement, the way we are paid for our services, is rapidly changing. One development is the growth of

Accountable Care Organizations (ACO), growth which seems certain to continue. An ACO is a group of providers who work in collaboration to improve cost and care delivery to a defined population. ACO’s will force the healthcare industry to think more like a health plan. Through the ACO’s we are seeing inpatient hospital stays decrease in length and hospitals seeking post-acute partners who can provide the highest quality care at the lowest cost. The ultimate goal is to decrease costs, allowing the ACO to focus on the highest risk, highest cost individuals, typically those in the last year of their life. Cultivating our partnerships with our local ACO’s and providing value based strategies for caring for older adults will be a key component in our continued success.

In addition to the growth of ACO’s, we also see the continued growth of value based payment and bundle initiatives. The bundle projects are another way for the local health systems to reduce the costs of care and partner with post-acute providers. The goal of these initiatives is to provide positive health outcomes, decreasing both re-hospitalization and costs, with the potential of a shared savings incentive. Hospitals are incentivized to move people through the continuum, but they will need strong partners, like the Jewish Home Family, to be successful.

The FutureWith our rapidly changing environment, the Jewish Home Family will need to reevaluate not only the way in which we provide care to older adults, but the cost structures within which we currently operate. We will need to gain a strong understanding of the cost to provide care, where care is provided and then to clearly communicate this to our strategic partners.

Creating a Warm and Loving Environment Called “Home”

Both our reputation for high quality, and the committed care that we provide helps ensure that the Jewish Home at Rockleigh is at maximum occupancy throughout the year. Extra touches enhance satisfaction and lead us to consistently high ratings. We know that merely home-like is not an option; we are, and must be, truly home. We’re accomplishing this by focusing on the philosophy, and princi-ples, of person-centered care.

The importance of consistency in care is ensured through regular assignments of nursing staff; floating is kept to a bare minimum. This helps residents to establish relationships with their caregivers. Both staff retention and morale are high which translates into a happy staff, resulting in a happy resident.

Choice is very important. Just as they did when they lived independently, our residents exercise control over time for showers, waking up, going to sleep, and having their meals. Even if they had completed a menu request in advance, we allow flexibility and accommodate last minute, on the spot changes. Whenever possible, we offer a liberalization of diets so the resident may enjoy foods they enjoyed at home. We have made a concerted effort to eliminate most chair and bed alarms. Becoming alarm-free has provided a calmer environment with more frequent rounding and fewer falls.

Recreation offers residents many opportunities to get involved in out-of-the-box and meaningful activities. Residents staff the gift shop, get involved with the community through an equipment donation program and some even provide religious services to fellow residents. This past year, through the use of Skype,

several residents mentored high school students on how to get involved in Tikkun Olam activities. We have consistently had Minyan on Shabbat, with great participation by the residents.

Families play an active role in our person-centered care approach and we encourage their attendance at care plan meetings by the shifting of meeting times to accommodate schedules. Discharge times are scheduled for early morning or late in the afternoon to accommodate families as well.

“We work in their home.” This is a saying we live by. To make JHR look like home, we encourage each resident to decorate his or her room and our staff helps them arrange their own, or the Home’s furniture to their preference. We hang up pictures, curtains, special bedding, etc. and welcome the resident’s input.

As the stage is being set for drastic changes in health care financing due to consolidation of providers, preferred lists for referrals and more, the Jewish Home is positioning itself by increasing admissions from Rockland County hospitals, aligning with new orthopedic surgery groups and differentiating its rehab services. A new partnership with Functional Pathways, a premier

rehabilitation services provider is introducing innova-tive technology for rehab, increased communication to residents and their families and better internal coordination of services. The coming year should see continued emphasis on improving the rehab program.

A resident’s daughter recently wrote to us after her mother’s passing, “I can’t thank everyone at Rockleigh enough for making my mother feel that she was a part of a family and creating a warm and loving environ-ment that she said was home.” At the Jewish Home we know that each person is the center of our Home.

Recreation offers residents many

opportunities to get involved in

out-of-the-box and meaningful

Jewish Home Assisted Living: Recognized for Excellence

2015 has been a year of celebration. Across the organization, the Jewish Home Family has been celebrating its 100th birthday. There have been many special events to mark this auspicious milestone and JHAL residents and staff have been delighted to be a part of them!

In the early part of this year JHAL achieved “Advanced Standing” status — what does that mean? Advanced Standing is a pilot program for assisted living facilities in New Jersey. It is based on verifying that a community has surpassed State-set quality

benchmarks. Of the 280 assisted living facilities in the State of New Jersey, only 72 have achieved this distinc-tion and we are proud to be among their ranks. This distinction will help to strengthen our relationship with long-term care insurance companies as well as enhance our image and reputation in the greater community.

JHAL also had the privilege of offering two new and unique programs for the residents: The Kate Langer Kinetic Art program and OMA (Opening Minds through Art). Led by a professional artist, the kinetic art program involved residents from both assisted living and Memory Lane, exploring and replicating the works of many well-known Jewish artists. During National Assisted Living Week in September, the resident artwork was beautifully and publicly displayed. OMA began on Memory Lane in July. Our staff have been trained in this unique program for creative expression, specifically targeted at those with dementia. OMA is not about creating art, it is about helping individuals

with dementia to have control and make choices, through carefully planned failure-free projects and the help of specially trained volunteers.

JHAL is now in its eighth year of service to the commu-nity. During these eight years, our residents and their needs have changed and we have changed and upgraded the building to meet those needs. We are about to take

another big step to better serve our residents, as we build a new 2,500 square foot community room. With this expanded space, we will be able to offer a larger range of programming as well as accommodate our resident’s physical needs. The expansion is located adjacent to the existing dining room which gives us ultimate flexibility as we will have the potential, for holidays and special events, to use both spaces as one large space. Our plan is to have this project completed by late spring 2016.

We look forward to sharing many special events in the coming year and hope you will share them with us.

From all of us at JHAL… a special Mazel Tov to the Jewish Home Family on its 100th anniversary!

Jewish Home at Home: Expanding Programs and Services to Meet Growing Needs in the Community

As our population ages and their desire to age “in community” increases, the importance of home and community based services continues to grow. This

will likely be an area of major attention and growth in the future as we see the pendulum swing away from facility based services and to more services that are brought to the client.

We’ve spent the past year working to grow our suite of services under Home at Home, plan for the future, and optimize our existing program and services. All of these

strategies are underway and we’ve shown some good progress in a number of areas.

Under the heading of growth, we’re delighted that the Geriatric Care Management program has continued to increase, providing the skills and assistance that many older adults and their families need. Our geriatric care

managers work in the commu-nity, planning and facilitating services as well as, often acting as surrogate families for our clients. When there is no family, or loved ones live at a distance or just can’t be available, our care managers meet the needs and make a difference.

The Gallen Medical Adult Day Health Care Center has also had a year of growth. We’ve added an additional bus and expanded routes to cover both Rockland County and other areas in Bergen County. We know how important day care can be and think it plays a vital role in helping keep folks home, safe and well.

An important new program also began this year. Called @HomeCare, we offer a full range of non-medical home care service for individuals in our community. Opened in June, the demand for @HomeCare services has been even greater than we anticipated and we look forward to this becoming an important line of business for us.

Also new in 2015 was the creation of Safely@Home. This new program will bring home modification services to our community. We began

Safely@Home by absorbing Bonim Builders, a program formerly run under the auspices of the Jewish Federa-tion of Northern New Jersey. Bonim has, for a number of years, done home repair and improvement projects for disadvantaged elders and others in our area. Now Safely@Home will continue that important work while expanding to offer services on a broader scale.

We’re excited about our new programs and services and excited about our continuing efforts to anticipate and meet the needs of our growing aging community.

…those years

are vivid… the

grounds were very

spacious and had

Remembering Yesterday — The Jewish Home’s Commitment Began 100 Years Ago

In 1925, two-year old twins, Herb and Joel Rubel and their older brothers, David

and Meyer, suffered a terrible loss when their young mother became the victim

of typhoid fever. The boys’ father felt he had no options and he placed the young

twins in a foster home and their two older brothers in the Hebrew Orphans Home

of Hudson County, New Jersey. When the twins turned six, they joined their

brothers at the Orphans Home where they lived for about six more years.

Story of a Lifetime: Joel Rubel, Hebrew Home Orphan

26

Spotlight

Joel Rubel remembers being one of “about 50 or 60 boys and girls.” His

memories of those years are vivid. He says the grounds were “very

spacious and had a bandstand and a baseball field. There was also a

large auditorium and everyone was required to learn a musical instru-

ment.” Joel and his twin learned to play the flute while the older boys

learned cymbal and trumpet.

And the children had responsibilities. “Everyone was assigned a task,”

Joel says and he and Herb had to take care of “a half acre of lawn and

the shrubbery around the home.” Education was also key and all the

children went to a nearby public school and then Hebrew School in the

afternoon. Joel remembers receiving rewards if you behaved, including

“Saturday movie passes and trips to Manhattan to see a ball game.”

Health was also an important focus and Joel recalls, not quite as fondly,

that cod liver oil was required before breakfast every day. “That must be

why we were so healthy!” he said.

When Joel’s father eventually remarried, he reunited his family in a

home in Bayonne, New Jersey. The twins were about 12 at the time

and this represented “the start of a new chapter in our lives.”

That orphanage became the Hebrew Home for the Orphans and the

Aged in the 1930’s and then, in the 1970’s evolved into the Jewish Home

and Rehabilitation Center, the predecessor to the Jewish Home at

Rockleigh and Jewish Home Assisted Living that we know today.

While orphanages, by and large, no longer exist, the focus on under-

standing and meeting community needs is one that continues to be a

hallmark of the organization. In the early part of the century, a small

group of dedicated individuals made certain that orphans had a safe

environment in which to live. Today, we ensure that older adults have

the care and services that they need, meeting not only their physical

needs but also ensuring that they have an optimal quality of life.

Yesterday, today and tomorrow — a commitment to caring for those

who need our help.

In Memoriam – Zichron L’vracha

After receiving our newsletter in

December 2014 announcing the

celebration of The Jewish Home’s

Centennial year, Joel Rubel

contacted the Jewish Home and

very graciously provided his

remembrances of his years as an

orphan at the Hebrew Home for

Orphans in Hudson County. It was

Joel’s hope to be able to travel

from Dallas, Texas this October to

attend our Gala. Sadly, Joel Rubelz”l

passed away on May 30, 2015 at the

age of 92. We are grateful to him

for sharing his thoughts and photos.

May his memory be for a blessing.

I thank Eric every

day. He is one of the

main reasons I’m

alive and here today.

It Was a Miracle.

It began as a normal day at the Jewish Home at Rockleigh for both Michael Kailas, MD

and for Eric Riguerra, RN, Director of Nursing. Dr. Kailas was a sub-acute rehabilitation

patient and, as he had been doing for several weeks, was walking with a therapist,

part of his recovery from spinal surgery.

No stranger to the Jewish Home, Dr. Kailas, a neurologist, provided medical consulting

services to the Jewish Home, all the way back to the Jersey City days. He had no

question about where he would choose if he needed his own rehab services.

But what Dr. Kailas didn’t know, and truly no one could have

anticipated, during therapy on the morning of May 14, was that

he would suffer a massive heart attack. The therapist with him

immediately called for assistance and Riguerra was one of the first

on the scene. Dr. Kailas remembers feeling weak but nothing more.

Riguerra, of course, remembers everything.

“When we ran into therapy,” Riguerra said, “the doctor was on a therapy

table, unresponsive and with no pulse. All the instincts and training

kicked in and nurses and other staff immediately went into action.”

An AED (automated external defibrillator) is located in the therapy gym

and both the AED and hand held oxygen were delivered to Dr. Kailas.

The staff took turns at CPR, with Eric both taking the lead on adminis-

tering the chest compressions and directing the staff ’s response.

A physician in the building also came running and began to assist.

“It was a miracle, actually,” Riguerra said. “We kept up CPR and moni-

toring with the AED for a good 15–20 minutes while we waited for the

paramedics to arrive.” And when they did, and hooked up a monitor,

the paramedics found that a faint pulse had returned. The quick action,

the well trained staff and the strong and clear direction from Eric and

the team had made it possible for Dr. Kailas to survive.

After another hospital stay, Dr. Kailas returned to the Jewish Home

to finish his rehabilitation. His therapy walks take him past Riguerra’s

office and he says “I thank Eric every day. He is one of the main reasons

I’m alive and here today.”

“When I see Dr. Kailas,” Riguerra said, “it’s a good feeling. It reminds me

that we make a difference with what we do.”

Determined to go back to work, Dr. Kailas has met and exceeded all his

rehab goals. He has his sights set on making his own difference, as he

says “there will be more lives to save.”

The Jewish Home’s Quality Rehabilitation Services

Whether for subacute rehab

patients, long term residents or

those on hospice care, our highly

skilled nursing staff delivers

exceptional quality care in a

compassionate manner. Clear,

constant communication is key and

we take pride in ensuring a pain

free and restraint free environment.

prevented a fall during Dr. Kailas’ heart

attack, helps him through his rehabilitation.

Getting Involved…Making a Difference

“I just wanted to get involved and be able to help make a difference in the day-to-day

quality of life of our seniors” says Richard Goldstein, a board member of the Jewish

Home at Rockleigh, “I just didn’t want to only attend meetings… no, I think a board

member’s responsibility is a very important one and I want to provide valuable

input and suggestions that would evoke positive results.”

In 2004, like so many families, Richard’s was confronted with aging parents and his

Mom finding it more and more difficult to adequately take care of his Dad at home.

Living in Westchester and having siblings in NYC and Rockland County, the Jewish

Home met their needs. “The process of admission can be such a trying time but

the wonderful professionals helped us through the process. A few years

later, Israelz”l passed away and subsequently Rose Goldsteinz”l became

a resident.

Richard found himself visiting at least four times a week, enjoying

breakfast with his Mom. “I saw with my own eyes how attentive and

responsive the staff was, how incredible the care was, and how

beautifully the facility was maintained…it truly was now home to

Mom, and most importantly, she was happy.”

“I wanted to give back, because I saw for myself what a difference it

makes for seniors to spend their last days in a special place.” But giving

back doesn’t just mean financially. “Sure, I’m a donor, and so pleased to

be able to do so. It is so important for every member of the community

to support the important work the Jewish Home Family does…but I

also wanted to be able to help facilitate the wonderful work in other

ways. I wanted to foster ideas that would result in a place where indi-

viduals can make friends, enjoy life and continue to grow intellectually,

even those at 90!”

Richard has channeled his commitment through the many opportu-

nities his board tenure has afforded him. Keeping the residents safe

is number one, and he is pleased to be able to sit on the House Safety

Committee, but the interaction he enjoys the most is regularly attending

the JHR Resident Council meetings. “The Council empowers them.

They feel comfortable expressing their wants and needs — physically,

emotionally, spiritually and even philosophically” says Richard, “That is

how I came to decide to personally sponsor insightful monthly lectures

on Judaic thought. No matter how senior our residents are, they have a

thirst for knowledge.”

Serving on the board, financially supporting the mission of the Jewish

Home, and being able to impact the lives of our elderly in a positive

way has been so meaningful to Richard, he is certain he receives back

so much more than he gives. “You know, we are all going to get there

someday, and isn’t it great to know you’ve made a difference in a place

that takes care of individuals in every imaginable way.”

90 Years Young and Enriching the Lives of Others

Some of the busiest people at the Jewish Home at Rockleigh are the staff of the

Recreational Activities Department. They are constantly transporting residents,

developing and implementing new programs, providing the energy and the spark

that helps enrich lives. If you were to describe the ideal staff person for that depart-

ment you would talk about someone with creativity, great heart and an ever-present

bounce in their step, someone who is “on” all the time. Well, you’d be describing team

member Audrey Vion. But what you might not expect that person to be is 90 years

old. And Audrey is all of that, or perhaps it is best to call her 90 years young!

Therapeutic Recreational Therapy

Creating a sense of purpose through

meaningful activity is an integral

part of Recreation activities.

Residents partake in Tikkun Olam

programs such as packaging

medical supplies and creating

Shabbat Joy packages. Our

experienced and credentialed staff

together with many volunteers lead

music, movement, art programs,

Dancercize, Drumming Circle, Reiki,

Opera Club, Inner Spirit & OMA Art

and challah baking, enabling even

those with advanced dementia to

have immediate satisfaction for

what they had prepared.

Audrey has worked in the Activities Department for two decades,

starting at the Jewish Home and Rehabilitation Center in River Vale

and then moving to the Jewish Home at Rockleigh when it opened.

“I first came to River Vale after my husband died,” Audrey said. “A friend

called me and said ‘Audrey, this is a job for you.” When she told Audrey

that the job was in a nursing home, Audrey initially said no but her

friend insisted and, as Audrey says, “she was right.”

Audrey said that she never wakes up thinking “Gee, I wish I didn’t

have to go in.” In fact, she says, “I love it.” That love shows in all her

interactions with residents.

Her favorite things are “getting residents to think” and sharing music

with them. “I love to get them singing, remembering things and enjoying

life the way I enjoy it. If I can give that to someone else, I am happy.”

She also has a special warmth for individuals who have dementia,

talking about how important it is to maintain dignity and stay positive.

“I will help them go back in their memories, using fairy tales. And they’ll

remember. I encourage them and tell them ‘your computer is working

so well!’ and they love that.” It is important to Audrey to “make life as

sweet as it can be, at any age.”

Audrey thinks her age is an advantage in her work. She says she can “go

back in history” with the residents, something her younger colleagues

can’t do. Audrey’s love for the residents is so abundant that she often

comes in and spends time one-on-one on her days off. “Time is so

precious,” she said “and I truly believe that you get what you give.”

Audrey jokes that “I always say to my kids that someday I’m going to call

from the Home and say I’m staying!” Safe to say that if that day comes,

Audrey will still be working to make people happy.

Philanthropic giving during one’s lifetime is a path firmly rooted in our Jewish tradi-tion. The word itself, tzedakah, comes from the root word, tzedech,

or righteous. To provide a gift to an organization, and be able to see the benefits of that gift, is most gratifying.

However, to assure that these benefits continue to be available beyond one’s lifetime is certainly a special mitzvah. Such a deed demonstrates foresight and gen-erosity. It also shows an understanding of how bequests help the Jewish Home guarantee the delivery of many vital services and programs to the frail and elderly.

The most effective form of bequest is an unrestricted one for the benefit of the Jewish Home Foundation. This allows the Foundation to use the funds at its

own discretion, as needs change. Bequests may also be designated for capital purposes, operations or for a special purpose or program by creating an endowment.

An endowment provides that the income be used by the Jewish Homes in perpetuity, with the principal remaining intact. All bequests carry the name of the benefactor or others as directed in the will.

While through your generosity we continue to provide required funding for both capital and operating needs of our facilities, building an endowment based on planned legacy gifts is the means to secure our future.

Many members of our community have used their fore-sight and beneficence and taken the initiative to name the Jewish Home Foundation in their will. Please join us as we plant the seeds for future generations by making a bequest to the Jewish Home Foundation. Please contact Melanie Cohen, Executive Director.

The Endowment Fund Programs of the Jewish Home were initiated in 1992. In the 23 years since its inception, a total of nearly $3 Million has been

committed and grown to 33 funds to further enhance the daily lives of our elderly. Endowments can be established with a minimum contribution of $10,000.

Unrestricted endowments can be created for the general benefit of our residents at the Jewish Home, to be utilized at the discretion of the administration of the Home. Alternatively, a donor may earmark a prospec-tive endowment for a specifically dedicated purpose. The principal investment of these endowments is never

touched, but continues to grow through additional com-mitments, contributions and interest. A perpetual legacy of unbroken financial support for a special activity is thus provided, which would be unavailable otherwise. The endowment also carries the donor’s name for all time.

Endowments, so generously established, enrich the quality of the lives of our residents at Jewish Home at Rockleigh and Jewish Home Assisted Living, as well as those we serve through Jewish Home at Home and our Gallen Adult Day Health Care Center and outreach programs — permanently.

Friends of the Jewish Home are invited to select or design a program and, in the Jewish tradition of tzedakah, establish an endowment that will benefit our elders today and will be there for generations to come.
