A tradition of caring.

October 2016

Dear Friends,

Our 101st year as an organization has been one of growth, new program development

and planning for the future. We’ve added new business lines like our successful

@HomeCare agency; expanded our ability to care for older adults such as the new

short-term IV therapy program at Jewish Home Assisted Living; and solidified our

relationships with hospitals and other key partners at the Jewish Home at Rockleigh.

The healthcare world is changing daily and we are working hard to stay not only current

but to anticipate what lies ahead. That’s been the core concept as we plan for the future,

designing the services and facilities that will support older adults both today and in the

years to come.

Yet despite all of the planning and the changes, 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.

These are the commitments that will not change, the commitments that guide all of our

actions and decisions. They are the commitments that we, along with the more than

400 members of our staff, as well as volunteers and board members, live every day.

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

individuals and families each and 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 Elliott President & CEO Jewish Home Family

The Jewish Home Family — An Entire Community’s Undertaking

It is my privilege to serve as Chair of the board of our parent corporation, the Jewish Home Family. Our board and organization fully recognizes that we are at the brink of great changes in our society and in the health-care and aging fields. As we see the demographic shifts that are approaching, as we recognize the more complex and challenging needs of those for whom we care, we are actively planning and preparing to meet those needs and to continue our strong tradition of service to the community.

As more fully described in our CEO’s report, the Jewish Home exploded into its second century with a flurry of accomplishments and initiatives, none more exciting than our acquisition of adjacent land

to facilitate our needed expansion. Led by our talented and visionary professional team, we are ensuring that the Jewish Home’s century old tradition of innovation and excellence is extended well into our next 100 years. The world around us is changing, and we are determined to remain ahead of the curve. Our seniors deserve no less.

The job of providing for our seniors in the manner they deserve requires wisdom and resources and commitment far in excess of any one person. Our well-deserved reputation for excellence results from the fact that, for decades, the Jewish Home has been an undertaking of the entire community. As we embark on the next chapter in our growth, allow me to thank each of you for making what we do possible.

day, not only with programming but by constantly enhancing the care we provide — and the way we provide it. As an example, we’ve had a major initiative called “Our Words Matter,” helping to remind our staff about the right way to have an interac-tion and the right words to use, words that reflect the dignity of the older adults that we serve.

Jewish Home at Home has also worked hard to grow over the course of the last year. Our private duty agency, @HomeCare, continues to beat projections and provide a valued service throughout the community. Geriatric Care Management steps in and offers services and help to families and individuals at critical times in their life. We’re working hard to develop new ways to market this service and continue its growth. Safely@Home has made a difference on many levels, both with volunteer led projects for those in need and work for those who have become members of our program. Membership includes regular property management visits, geriatric care management services and discounted fees for any necessary home services. Our Gallen Adult Day Center has had a challenging year and we are working hard to grow the program, giving it a much needed physical plant lift this year with programming changes also coming quickly on line.

The Jewish Home Foundation continues to help us to fund many important priorities as well as raise money

Strong at 101

What an exciting opportunity it is to be starting our second century of service! And we are off to a very great start as we build on successes, plan for the future and continue to enhance our service to the community.

Elsewhere in this report you will read about the individual entities and the year that they have had. I think some of the key innovations include the expansion project at Jewish Home Assisted Living which will give us some much needed community space. JHAL is not just expanding facilities, they are also growing services in all areas. On the clinical side, we were thrilled to become the first assisted living facility in the State that will be able to provide short-term IV therapy. This is a vital program, allowing our residents who need short-term IV antibiotics, hydration or more to stay in their homes avoiding the trauma and disruption of transfer to a hospital or rehab setting. New programs include a focus on intergenerational connection with Sunday FunDay and special grandparent services coming on line.

The Jewish Home at Rockleigh continues to be the provider of choice for short-term rehabilitation both for patients and for our hospital partners. We’ve had great success in building our hospital relationships to ensure that our admissions, in this new accountable care environment, stay strong and are managed well. We’ve done both beautifully and successfully. We’re also working hard to improve the resident experience every

for the future. This year has not only been a successful fundraising year but also included a full review of the development function as part of a larger capital campaign assessment. There is much work ahead and we are excited about it!

Our biggest news at the Jewish Home Family has been the acquisition of property adjacent to the Rockleigh campus located at One Pond Road. This 6-acre parcel has been the impetus for a major planning effort and a

team of board members and key management staff has been working intensely to develop the right plans, in the right sequence for both campuses. With the help of Perkins Eastman, we’ve developed a three phase project that we are now planning in detail and moving through the many approvals necessary from the town and others.

In the first phase of the project we will be expanding our short-term rehabilitation services. This is an area of great and growing demand and one that we know is vital to the future aging population. Our current therapy space is inadequate in a number of ways, including not having the necessary space to allow us to have the latest equipment and practices to maximize recovery. We don’t have space for folks to practice life skills, those things they need to be successful at home and we find ourselves practicing stair climbing in a back hallway and ambulation in a crowded, public space. We also know that there are many who would like to continue with us as outpatients after they are discharged from their inpatient stay. Today we have no room for them but tomorrow — it’s a need we could fill.

There’s much more to our plans as well including renovation of all of our long-term care units to create smaller households. We know that older adults do better in these smaller environments. Their cognitive and functional skills are preserved longer — and the research has been done that backs that up. Changing our very long hallways into smaller households will enhance quality of life and quality of care for our residents.

There’s more in our plans, including the current expansion at Jewish Home Assisted Living and longer term visions for additional household settings. All of these plans have been based on lots of research — of our market, of the financial feasibility of the concepts, and of the ability our community has to support a major capital effort.

We are excited about the future, excited about our ability to stay proactive, anticipating and meeting the needs of our community, both today and in the years to come.

Volunteers making a difference

More than 500 volunteers put in over 7000 hours of volunteer service this

year at the Jewish Home Family.

“The first time I interacted with the residents while volunteering in arts and

crafts I was hooked,” explains longtime volunteer Beth Shiffman, who has

been volunteering at both the Jewish Home Assisted Living and the Jewish

Home at Rockleigh for years. “I knew and loved four great-grandparents as a

young child and four grandparents who lived into my adult years. The warmth

residents give brought them all back to me.”

I learn so much from the residents and love sharing my life with them as they share theirs with me.

I certainly get as much as I give.‘‘ ‘‘

BETH SHIFFMAN

Each week, residents at the Jewish Home can be seen gathered around Shiffman, making their way through that day’s edition of the New York Times and having heated discussions about the issues of the day. When things get a little too heated (particularly around the upcoming election) Beth skillfully diffuses the tension with a joke or a subtle change of subject.

Beth has been involved in various art programs over the years as well but was especially excited to take part in the new Opening Minds through Art (OMA) program. OMA was founded in 2007 by Elizabeth Lokon, Ph.D. at the Scripps Gerontology Center at Miami University in Ohio. Believing that there is a wealth of untapped potential in the minds of people with dementia, she decided to create a program that could tap into the person “trapped” by the illness. “It is an exciting program and experience,” Shiffman says. “The participants are engaged and encouraged to create and be inspired. It thrills me to see what can be achieved by individuals that many don’t believe can achieve any longer.”

That sentiment was shared by other OMA volunteers at the opening of exhibits honoring the resident artists and

displaying their works at both Jewish Home facilities. Beth Shiffman summed up the emotions she witnessed among the resident artists taking part in the program: “Pleasure while doing. Pride in achieving. Joyful disbelief in their own accomplishments.”

One resident couldn’t believe that she had created the artwork displayed on the wall. “I guess I’m an artist,” she mused. “I didn’t even know it.”

Not content with discovering the joy of volunteering on her own, Shiffman is an unabashed advocate for volunteerism: “If you are a volunteer already, keep up the good work and encourage everyone to do it,” she says. “The pleasure you can give by spending just a few hours of time is so huge to those who receive your gift. The pleasure you get is immeasurable.”

Volunteering, especially at the Jewish Home, is a privilege, not a burden, Beth Shiffman believes. “I learn so much from the residents and love sharing my life with them as they share theirs with me. I certainly get as much as I give.”

Becoming a part ofthe “Family”

HOLLY AND SKIP KNAUER

When Holly Knauer arranged for her husband Erwin “Skip” Knauer to attend

the Gallen Adult Day Center at the Jewish Home, she didn’t realize that she

and Skip would end up using almost every program offered by the Jewish

Home Family.

A successful bank president and Deacon at his church, Skip had earned a

purple heart and three bronze stars during his tours of duty in Vietnam. He

never regretted serving his country, but Agent Orange, the chemical used to

defoliate combat areas, led Skip to develop B-Cell Lymphoma, an aggressive

cancer of the brain.

It felt like home, and they felt like family.‘‘

‘‘

“He was 57 years old at the time,” recounts his widow, Holly. “We started with chemo and then needed radiation. It succeeded in getting rid of the cancer but it affected his short-term memory and his speech.”

Holly cared for Skip at home for eight years, until he began to have seizures. “Someone told me about the Gallen Adult Day Center and it was wonderful. He went three days a week. There were other veterans there and the programs were excellent.”

The seizures got more intense, though, putting Skip back in the hospital. Upon discharge, Skip moved into the Jewish Home Assisted Living’s Memory Lane. “He did really well there,” Holly recalls. “They were able to remove the PEG tube and he was back to eating. It was a real family over there. I was with him all the time. Staff would take him bowling and to his favorite restaurant. It felt like home. They were excellent caregivers.”

Eventually, Skip’s health declined and again the Jewish Home was there for us in Rockleigh. “It was a long road,” Holly says, “but I was blown away by the care. They were so attentive — all the staff. I couldn’t have asked for better care.”

“From the hairdressers to the people that cleaned his room and did his laundry — to Rabbi Feld — we’re not Jewish, but he made me feel so warm and made both of us feel so good. He loved Skip. He’d joke with him and

salute him, saying ‘G’mornin’ Sarge’, and Skip would try to get his arm up to salute.

Skip passed away on May 19, 2016. But that wasn’t the end of Holly’s relationship with the Jewish Home. “I had been putting off knee surgery for a while,” she says. “After my knee replacement, the surgeon advised me to receive sub-acute rehab before returning home and the only place I’d go was the Jewish Home.”

“The rehab staff was very attentive,” Holly recalls enthusiastically. “What a good program. They are painstaking about making sure you do each thing the proper way. My therapist taught me bending exercises, how to walk with a walker, and then with a cane. I was also really impressed with their occupational therapy. You really don’t realize how difficult daily activities can be. Utilizing their mock kitchen, bedroom and laundry I was retrained on being able to move clothing from the washer to the dryer, make a salad in the kitchen, put sheets on a bed, take clothes out of the closet and actually putting on a pair of pants — really preparing me to go home.”

Holly sums up her experience saying, “It felt like home. I feel very blessed. I love my husband and I miss him a lot but both he and I got the best care and I thank them all for that.”

Generations:a family tree of support

THE HIMMELFARBS AND LIPPMANS Acts of Loving Mitzvot

We need to tell all generations that caring for the elderly is important. If you do, you help ensure that care will be available for years to come…

‘‘ ‘‘

— Stuar t Himmelfarb

How does a man’s passion for the game of tennis lead to three generations of

family support for the Jewish Home? Over 50 years ago, Bill and Doris z”l

Lippman moved from the Bronx to New Jersey. In search of a tennis game, Bill

met Lenny Rubin, which was not only the beginning of an enduring friendship

but also decades of work and support for a multitude of Jewish communal

efforts — most especially their involvement with the Jewish Home.


9

For Bill and Doris, that meant helping to provide for the elderly who might not otherwise have their own financial wherewithal. Bill often reminds the board, “We must. It is very important. I am proud to help provide assistance for as many as we possibly can.” And those acts of loving mitzvot over the years served as inspiration to Bill’s children, Howie and Sherri, Debbie and Stuart.

“Our parents and their friends were our role models. We watched them build a Jewish community for us and for future generations. They set an example for us” says Howie Lippman. When he realized that the board was looking for the next generation to take the reins he was ready. Sherri’s Dad, Roy Hortonz”l was involved in the very first Jewish Home Golf and Tennis Outing. The logo he designed is still in use today. “Our parents were our inspiration and now it’s our turn.”

For Debbie and Stu, their commitment is not just parental influence, but the result of their experiences. Stu’s grandmother was a resident in the Jersey City facility in the late 60’s, and later his mother was a resident of the Jewish Home at Rockleigh. “Not only was the Jewish Home there when our family needed it, but we came to see with our own eyes the extraordinary

humanism and kindness exhibited by every level of employee.” These often-viewed scenarios of exceptional loving care led the Himmelfarbs to endow The Bella and Martin Himmelfarb Employee of the Month program in memory of Stu’s parents.

Sherri and Howie have also channeled their largess by adding to the quality of life of our seniors, both now and in the future, by creating the Henie and Roy Horton Therapeutic Art Endowment. In addition, for the last 15 years, residents have “virtually” cruised all over the world because of the Doris Lippman Recreation Endow-ment which Bill established in memory of Doris.

What does the future hold? Ariel (Howie and Sherri’s daughter) and Andrew Jacobs have just joined our community. Ariel is getting her feet wet by working alongside Howie in managing the Homes’ 401K plan. Who knows, the Home might have a third generation board member!

Bill always says “Enjoy what you do!” His children and their children have heeded his advice to the benefit of the Jewish Home Family and the many older adults we serve.

Three generations of leadership and support based on values of building community and helping others.

Abe Peck holds the book about his life triumphantly, the number the Nazis

tattooed on his arm when he arrived at Auschwitz faded but stark. The book

is called “Abe vs. Adolf” and although he has long outlived Hitler, he still sees

an urgency in combating the evil he witnessed. Peck is the sole living Jewish

survivor from his Polish village of Szadek.

…universally drawn to sharing their stories and ensuring that future generations learn the lessons of the bitter past.

Being a Home to thosewe must never forget

ABE PECK AND MARTHA STERNBACH Holocaust Survivors

As a teenager, Abe was starved, shot, tortured and imprisoned in nine different concentration camps. “When I got this, I was only a teenager,” he says, pointing at the digits 143450 forcibly branded on his skin. “At any minute the guard could shoot you for not liking the way you looked at him. They would shoot you for nothing.”

Today’s world events, as well as his advancing age have filled Mr. Peck with a sense of urgency. “It’s worse than it ever was, with the terrorists and people killing one another. That hatred is still there.”

But Peck sees the lessons of the Holocaust going far beyond containing terrorism. “Hate and discrimination are no good,” Peck says, explaining his motivation for publishing his story, which he co-authored with an author named Maya Ross he met at a Café Europa event for survivors. “The book is for people to remember — not to hate, not to discriminate, because that’s what kills people,” he explains.

Our facilities are home to several residents who survived the atrocities of the Holocaust. Though they paid the ultimate price during their lives, losing loved ones and experiencing unspeakable cruelty, they are universally drawn to sharing their stories and ensuring that future generations learn the lessons of the bitter past. We are mindful that we share the obligation to facilitate the telling of their stories.

Like Abe Peck, resident Martha Sternbach is determined to keep her story alive, visiting local schools each year to answer questions from children who are studying the Holocaust.

“The first time my own children heard my whole story was from a tape I made for them,” Sternbach explains. “I wanted to say the way I felt about the things that happened, not the way they put them in movies. I wanted my children to know what happened from my point of view.”

Earlier this year, survivors from all the Jewish Home Family’s programs gathered to speak with an acquisitions curator from the US Holocaust Museum collecting artifacts and historical documents invaluable in docu-menting and illustrating that dark historical period. Residents were eager to contribute to the project, realizing how important solidifying the memories and documentation is to preserving the memories.

Meanwhile, Abe Peck continues to document his story, expanding his book to a multimedia edition to make up for the fact that he no longer has the strength to travel to speaking engagements. Martha too continues to share her story with children.“I would like the world to remember,” Abe pleads. “Please don’t forget us when we are gone.”

We are all fortunate to be able to listen and do our part in never forgetting.

Our facilities are home to several who have survived the Holocaust. We are mindful that we share the obligation to listen and do our part in never forgetting.

In October of 2015, The Jewish Home Family embarked

on a “first”. For all involved it was a trip of a lifetime

and for many the achievement of life-long dreams.


13

Arriving at Ben Gurion Airport Tel Aviv literally brought tears to the eyes of 85, 89 and 90 year old seniors who never thought they would ever be able to visit Israel, and for those who had been there as younger adults, never thought they would be able to return.

Seven Jewish Home Family seniors and accompanying staff of fourteen journeyed to Israel. The anticipation and excitement for the months and weeks prior was palpable.

With the help of an amazing tour guide and Jewish Home Family staff, a few walkers and wheelchairs, our seven seniors enjoyed 10 glorious days. We traveled daily from Kibbutz Nof Ginossar near the Sea of Galilee to the Judean desert ascending to the mountain fortress of Masada; and of

course the Old City of Jerusalem including the Kotel, Knesset and Yad Vashem. Our eye opening and very emotional journey concluded in modern Tel Aviv.

For those who were fortunate enough to participate it was truly an amazing journey. For family and friends who followed our footsteps on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter it was evident that age is just a number and that it is never too late to pursue dreams. The Mission was a symbol of the Jewish Home’s commitment to older adults — that no matter what one’s age, you can still grow, and learn and achieve.

Jewish Home Family: Financial Overview

Daniel Rubin Treasurer, Jewish Home Family Chairman, Finance Committee

Jewish Home at Rockleigh continues to maintain a near full occupancy which averaged 98.4% in 2015 and 98.9% year to date 2016. In 2015, JHR generated positive operating net income, cash flow and exceeded all required bank covenants for our current financing arrangements.

Jewish Home Assisted Living averaged 91 occupied units and 97 residents in 2015 and 97 apartments and 103 residents year to date 2016. In 2015, JHAL generated positive operating net income and cash flow. In July 2015, JHAL accelerated their debt amortization with an additional payment of $300,000.

Jewish Home at Home continued to experience operational losses in 2015, however significant operational changes were implemented during the year that are expected to improve performance over the coming year. In June 2015, we opened our private duty homecare agency. This change in operations required us to relinquish our then current caseload back to the community partners that were servicing them and to rebuild our clientele. Our initial business plan anticipated a case load at year end of 13,242 hours of service. We exceeded these original projections and provided 18,294 hours of service.

A Busy Finance(ing) Year2015 presented the Jewish Home Family Finance Commit-tee with some unique opportunities and challenges. After years of planning, the Jewish Home Assisted Living finalized plans for an expansion off their dining room. The expansion will provide additional common space that can be used for large group programming; we will also have the ability to convert the area into smaller spaces to meet

programming needs. With no direct return on investment and restrictions in our current financing of the facility, finding a lender to provide the capital required became a challenge. Fortunately, we found Sussex Bank who saw our vision and who met the requirements of our current financing. In March 2016 we closed on a loan that will provide the funding needed for this project.

At the same time that we were working to secure the loan for the JHAL expansion, the opportunity to purchase a parcel of land contiguous to the Jewish Home at Rockleigh presented itself. Knowing this was a once in a lifetime opportunity, we began the process to secure financing for the acquisition. We reached out to our current lender,

Valley National Bank, who was willing to support the acquisition and who worked with us to create a unique, short-term financing arrangement that provided the capital to acquire the property and that allows us the time to complete our master campus and strategic plan.

What Next?Baseline analysis, scenario planning and financial modeling are in the future for the Finance Committee as we work to create an organization poised to meet the needs of our current and future consumers; one that will ensure our financial sustainability in the rapidly changing regulatory and reimbursement environment of healthcare.

Jonathan Furer President, Jewish Home Foundation

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

Melanie Cohen, CFRE Executive Director, Jewish Home Foundation

As the Jewish Home Family and all of its operating entities move into our second century of serving seniors and their families in the community, the Jewish Home Foundation is pleased to be able to continue 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. This Annual Report of the Jewish Home Family profiles the enormous impact that our service agencies provide to those in the commu-nity that require our services and we are proud to be able to play our role in this accomplishment.

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 asked to provide philanthropic support to the areas that require funding: supplementing operational needs in order to provide care and services to all those in need regardless of financial ability; seeding and augmenting special programming to enhance the quality of life of our seniors; providing capital required to build and maintain state-of-the-art facilities; overseeing endowment investments to ensure the perpetuation of care and programming; and providing opportunities for legacy giving to further guarantee the organizations’ financial stability well into the future.

While these tasks are accomplished in many ways, the Foundation’s Boneh Olam Annual Giving Program has become the cornerstone of the annual operational fundraising effort. The program is well received by the community and its continued growth and success has allowed the Foundation to play a major role in supporting

the critical day-to-day financial needs of our service entities. In 2016, the program grew to a record 182 families donating a praiseworthy $1,520,000 to support operations. Over the past fourteen years, the program has provided over $14 Million in operational funding. We could not have accomplished this tremendous effort without the generous support of the community for which we are greatly indebted.

This past year, the Foundation and its hard-working and dedicated staff have been active participants in the Family’s strategic planning process. The results of the planning include the expansion of the Assisted Living facility, the purchase of property adjacent to the Jewish Home at Rockleigh, and a three-phased plan to update and expand the Rockleigh facility to enable the Jewish Home Family to respond to growing senior care needs in our community and guarantee the delivery of quality exceptional eldercare in the future, making sure we are well positioned for “our next 100 years.”

The Foundation is being called upon to help provide the funding for these capital projects that will allow the Jewish Home Family to remain on the cutting edge of care. We are ready and know that our community will provide a generous response.

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, thank each and every member of the community whose munificence enables the Jewish Home to better the quality of life for so many.

Jewish Home at Rockleigh Continues to Deliver High Quality Services

Gayle Gerstein President, Jewish Home at Rockleigh

TEAM is a word we proudly use at the Jewish Home at Rockleigh. We work closely together to ensure the highest quality services for those we care for.

Over the past year, we have seen important changes. Our new admissions have become increasingly complex medically while the expectations from the referral sources is to expedite discharges. Critical to success is the strength of our team to consistently exceed expectations. Pain management, patient education and discharge planning begin upon admission. Use of internet technology with the rehab team encourages residents to do even more. Communication with families has been enhanced through the use of emails and online tools to help track the patient’s progress toward rehab goals.

Constant rounding and vigilant monitoring has led to low hospital readmission rates and decreased incidence of both falls and pressure ulcers. For the first time in

our history, we have a 0% rate of restraints and alarms. This supports our philosophy of providing dignity and independence by eliminating restraining and noisy devices. We received high satisfaction survey scores and we were selected as the number one provider in the area for post acute rehab for major hospitals including the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.

Dining services is an area of team focus. Unless someone is eating in their room, tray service has been virtually eliminated. Food is now distributed from the steam tables in the dining rooms resulting in increased choice and better temperature control. Our chefs round in the dining rooms to obtain feedback. Harvesting from

our new patio vegetable and herb gardens have made our “resident gardeners” proud, especially when they know our chefs use the fresh produce.

We also take time to have fun! Our team involves the residents with interactive activities including lip sync battles, dance-offs, costume parades, dating games, cooking contests and even a grand production of the Wizard of Oz. Our summer “trip to the Borscht Belt”

brought back many nostalgic moments. Perhaps the greatest highlight of the year was the renewal of vows in our synagogue between one of our residents and his beloved — after 58 years of marriage!

The importance of clear communication is well under-stood by our team. This year we created a series of staff education videos entitled “Our Words Matter” to highlight how important our messages are to our residents and to one another. What we say and what our residents hear may be two different things. As a team, we have been working on sensitizing all to the best ways to communicate and the most effective language to use.

We invite you to walk the halls of the Jewish Home and experience our sense of team. See the smiles of our team members — our staff, our residents, our families. As Helen Keller said, “Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much.”

Jewish Home Assisted Living: Recognized for Excellence

Lauren Levant Executive Director, Jewish Home Assisted Living

Jewish Home Assisted Living has had a banner year in many respects. Construction began on a beautiful new 3,000 square foot multi-purpose room. The ground- breaking ceremony was held on May 2, 2016, and the “ribbon cutting” is planned to coincide with the big Chanukah celebration in December. This new room will allow us to provide a wider range of performers to entertain the residents, enhanced space for worship services and a lot more flexibility for activities.

During the year, three new department heads joined the JHAL team. Pat Alfano, RN, is the new Director of Health Services, Lori Grogan, RN is the Wellness Liaison and Aleph Thomas joined us as the Director of Environmental Services. All three have brought unique skills and great energy to the team.

In April, JHAL earned re-certification of its Advanced Standing by the Health Care Association Foundation — putting us in an elite group of only 72 assisted living communities in NJ. This is an honor that truly results from the diligence and commitment of the staff.

During the past year, we introduced “Opening Minds through Art” (OMA) — a landmark program that has shown to be a successful way to use creative expression to connect with individuals who have dementia. The responses from, and interactions with, our residents and volunteers in Memory Lane have been heartwarming to all involved. A gallery of our OMA art is displayed in Memory Lane and has become a real highlight for residents, families and staff. We have also added a new program for our residents that significantly enriches our art and cultural offerings. The program known as Broadway DH, allows us to broadcast live Broadway performances. Our residents have loved this new program and eagerly await each new show.

the community Rabbi and now leads our regular Shabbat services and High Holiday services.

Over the summer, JHAL received approval from the Department of Health and Senior Services to start providing a Short-term IV Program. This program is geared towards hydration and short-term antibiotic usage. We are now the first assisted living community in the State to receive this approval. This exciting program may prevent some of our residents from having to go to the hospital or even to a sub-acute facility, making it possible for them to receive the care that they need in their own home. The team and family members at JHAL are very excited about this cutting edge program and we continue to seek new and enhanced programs for our residents to enjoy.

Chaplaincy services have also significantly expanded this past year. Rabbi Aaron Kornblitt joined us earlier this year to provide pastoral counseling and support as

well as creating and leading some new programs, such as the popular Yiddish club. Rabbi Kornblitt engaged 22 residents in a multi-session special program which culminated in a B’nai Mitzvah ceremony for these residents. In September, Rabbi Kornblitt also became

Jewish Home at Home Supports Aging in Community

It’s no secret. The aging population is growing at record rates and growing right along with that is the desire to age at home, a trend now referred to as “aging in community.” Home and community based services are a critical support for those who wish to remain at home as long as possible, and Jewish Home at Home offers a wide variety of programs and services to meet those needs.

Over the course of the last year, we have continued to work hard to build our existing programs as well as develop some new and innovative offerings. The bedrock program of Jewish Home at Home continues to be our Geriatric Care Management service. If an older adult doesn’t know who to call or what to do; if a family is struggling to navigate the complex world of services for the aging, Geriatric Care Management can be the answer. Our experts work intensely and individually with clients, making themselves available 24 hours/day, 7 days/week as needed. They can sort out difficult

situations of all sorts, from family to financial, from medical to logistical and much more. Care managers help clients define the best course of action to meet their specific needs, and their presence and input can

make the difference between success and failure while living in a community setting.

Another core Home at Home program that we are working hard to enhance is the Gallen Adult Day Center. Providing a safe place for an older adult to be during the day, with transportation, meals, medical supervision, programming and more provided can allow people to live at home longer and families to cope more effectively with the needs of their loved ones. We’ve given the Gallen Center a physical facelift


Last to complete our range of services is Safely@Home. There is conclusive research about the value of home modification in keeping older adults safe and successful in the community. Simple changes in a person’s home, often on a very small scale, can make all the difference in safety and comfort. Through Safely@Home we have a membership program to help folks with these home related issues. Members of Safely@Home have three visits from a qualified property manager each year and quarterly check-ins with one of our Geriatric Care managers. These ongoing contacts allow us to help solve simple problems and stay out ahead of more complex

issues. And they offer a smooth path to referral, whether for medical services or home repairs with vetted contractors. Safely@Home is a great way to gain peace of mind for a senior — just one number to call to get help in any area.

Our growth in Home@Home has not been entirely at the level we had hoped to achieve in the past year. We are retooling and redoubling our efforts as we believe these services will only grow in importance in the years to come.

in recent months and the programming is undergoing a similar process. We want to be sure that we are doing our best to meet the needs of our members, to keep them engaged and well so that they can continue to be as independent as possible.

One of our newest programs, @HomeCare, opened just over a year ago. We saw a need in our community to provide high quality non-medical home care services and developed a program to meet that need. Our staff of certified nursing assistants receive special training and ongoing supervision and can offer services including assistance with activities of daily living, meal prepara-tion, companion services, personal hygiene assistance and much more. We have live-in-options available as well as aides who drive and can provide transportation. @HomeCare has grown greatly since it opened and we continue to exceed our projections for this important service.

Home and community based services are a critical support

for those who wish to remain at home as long as possible…
