ollaboration and partnership are important characteristics of the nonprofit sector in the United States. The partnering of not-for-profit organizations to pool resources and expertise and create solutions for common needs is an ever-growing trend.

Nonprofit leaders consider a meaningful partnership to be a preferred outcome for their organizations’ limited time and assets.

The Memory Café was created by partnerships with the Jewish Home and Care Center, the Alzheimer’s Association of S.E. Wisconsin, the Milwaukee County Parks System, the Aging Disability and Resource Center and the Milwaukee County Department on Aging. Numerous local not-for-profits pooled their resources, expertise, and passion for serving Milwaukee-area residents in need of a dementia-friendly community. Social-impact partnerships address our moral responsibilities to ensure that social programs actually improve recipients’ lives, and do so in a fiscally prudent manner.

In the last year, the Jewish Home and Care Center Foundation and the University of Wisconsin-Milwauke (UWM) School of Nursing partnered in the creation of the position of JHCC Director of Research, with Dr. Christine Kovach. Dr. Kovach brings her experience and top-tier research skills to conduct research that is directly applicable to matters that concern residents’ health and well-being on a daily basis.

of Nursing, we look to partnerships that allow us to advance our core mission of education, research and community engagement. This is the core of our relationship with the Jewish Home and Care Center Foundation.”

Dr. Litwack further noted that “We greatly value our partnership with the Jewish Home and Care Center Foundation as the partnership has allowed for the advancement of nursing science that not only improves the health and health outcomes for residents within the Jewish Home and Care Center, but ultimately influences care of seniors both nationally and internationally. The Jewish Home is a state-of- the-art, highest quality care center, and Dr. Kovach, through her work, and the work of her students, is able to advance nursing science through her research and publications.

It is a partnership that we remain very committed to continuing.”

According to Dr. Kovach, “Too much of the health care delivered in long-term care settings is not based on evidence.

University faculty and student researchers often design research studies on topics relevant to long-term care without input

According to Dr. Kovach, “The Jewish Home is a community that values innovation, enables older adults to live rich and meaningful lives, and is deeply committed to providing high-quality care. There are a lot of smart experts in this community. This partnership brings together the right mix of expertise that has the potential to solve real problems. It is a fertile culture that moves from a focus on regulation and the status quo to an emphasis on critical analysis and innovation.”

Partnerships bring the arts, science, education, and research to our communities.

RUACH, Inc., a Milwaukee not-forprofit, partners with diverse and underserved populations to optimize creative potential, from children to the elderly. RUACH’s mission is to enrich and educate Greater Milwaukee with creative arts programming rooted in Jewish values, and has long been a partner of the Jewish Home and Care Center Foundation.

Joshua Richman, executive director of RUACH, Inc., says, “RUACH finds such partnerships mutually beneficial, to be able to learn from others and to be able to provide our expertise in Jewish arts programming while also expanding the constituencies whom we

serve. Partnerships can also be a more economically and energy-efficient way of operating and presenting programs.”

RUACH provides entertainers and the programming for the Yiddish Music Series, a program that brings live music to residents with early- and mid-stage dementia at the Helen Bader Center.

JHCC: Partnership for Leadership

T

he Jewish Home and Care Center has been participating in a partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire’s Health Care Administration Program (HCAD) since 2010. The Health Care Administration program is focused on long-term senior care management and developing students to become leaders in the health care field. The HCAD program has more than 30 years of success in preparing health care administrators and is the premier program in the Midwest. The program is one of only nine in the country accredited by the National Association of Long-Term Care Administrator Boards.

The UW-Eau Claire program is the only long-term care administration program that includes a 50-week practicum where students work in a health care setting while completing coursework online. The practicum experience consists of three main components: fundamental skills development, broader knowledge development, and capstone leadership projects.

This partnership allows young students to gain hands-on experience in an important aspect of the health care

industry, while giving back to the facility at the same time. Students are required to develop three leadership projects that will improve upon or bring something new into the facility.

Part of the practicum experience also involves students rotating through each department within the facility to gain understanding of the systems and work that take place in each department in order to bring the entire operation of the facility together.

With this partnership students are given the opportunity to learn the operations

of a facility, but also the necessary skills of a successful administrator. Over the course of the practicum experience administrators share their knowledge with students to help prepare them for the nursing home administration boards, as well as their futures in long-term care. Students are also given the opportunity to bring their energy, knowledge, new ideas and excitement into the facility. Lastly, this partnership allows facilities and students to build relationships and network with one another in order to increase the number of professionals in long-term care.

As I was born and raised in a small town, this past year of my AIT experience at JHCC was very eye opening and has inspired me to keep exploring different cultures and ways of life. I want to thank JHCC for giving me the opportunity to learn from such talented people and allowing me to be a part of such a great community and organization.

Success is a Partnership: The Alzheimer’s Association and Us

A

mong the many partnerships our organization benefits from, the Alzheimer’s Association of S.E. Wisconsin is one that yields outstanding results. In 2016, the leadership of our organization made the commitment to have every single employee certified in Alzheimer’s and dementia care by the end of the year. This ongoing program has employees attending class, taught by the Alzheimer’s Association of S.E. WI, once a week for four weeks. A certificate of attendance for the 16-hour program is given to each employee upon completion.

Of course, the big question is, does it make a difference in resident care? Here is how one employee answered that question (republished from the employee newsletter): “A dietary aide came up from the dementia training at lunchtime. She was doing her thing in the dining room when she observed a well-meaning CNA attempting to get a resident get up to use the bathroom. The resident was refusing to get up and the CNA was concerned the resident was wet and they were in a bit of a dance; the CNA clearly had her agenda and the resident had hers – it was a battle of wills. The dietary aide (who was a graduate of the Alzheimer’s course) could see the problem and suggested

that the CNA (who had not yet taken the course) take a time out. She then came over, got on her knees at eye level and made a connection with the resident. She asked the resident how she was doing and suggested that the resident join her for a walk. The resident happily complied and when she got up the dietary aide suggested that they stop by the bathroom. The resident happily agreed.

“It was a beautiful moment. The dementia training is worth its weight in gold if we can help staff see that if they slow down, put their agendas away and connect with the residents they can achieve these kinds of outcomes. I just wanted to share this with you; it was so simple yet so powerful.”

The Adult Day Center brought in over $400 by selling cookies, cupcakes and handmade jewelry.

Diane Baughn of the Alzheimer’s Association of SE Wisconsin trains students/employees in Alzheimer’s and dementia care.

On June 20, all of our locations participated in the Alzheimer’s Association of S.E. Wisconsin’s all day event, “The Longest Day.” We raised almost $3,000 for Alzheimer’s research.

Activities ranged from sales of jewelry, baked goods, ceramics and purple ribbons to book sales, Pie in the Face games, a raffle and more. Residents and participants in the Adult Day Center got into the action by crafting the ribbons, creating earrings, and making bracelets with help from the students at Yeshiva Elementary School. Chai Point residents culled their own fashion jewelry collections for jewelry to sell, and Sarah

Sarah Chudnow and the Frank L. Weyenberg Library

T

he residents of Sarah Chudnow Community (SCC) take advantage every day of the beautiful Ettinger Library on the first floor of our facility. We have hundreds of books to choose from with constant new arrivals from generous donations. We also have another library that feels like it is an extension of our own. The Frank L. Weyenberg Library of Mequon and Thiensville, Wisconsin. It is a 10-minute bus ride or a phone call away, depending on your personal needs.

professionally organized book club. Ashley supplies book lists to choose from, leads the monthly discussion groups, obtains all the books and keeps track of them as they are returned.

In addition, any resident can get a library card from Ashley without making a trip to the library. Ashley goes above and beyond her obligations because residents can pick up the phone and ask her to find a particular book and Ashley will drop it off.

In October of 2014 SCC added to the activity schedule a bimonthly outing to the local library with a return book service every Wednesday. On the initial trip with five residents, Linda Bendix, the Library Director approached us. That was the beginning of a wonderful partnership between Frank L. Weyenberg Library and Sarah Chudnow Community.

Ashley conducts the book club discussions once a month at SCC, and occasionally meeting are held in the community room at the library or a restaurant during lunch.

The library offers concerts and other special events in the early evening. Ashley keeps residents up to date as to when they are so they can attend. But the best part is when the group gets off the bus at the library; Linda and Ashley greets us with enthusiasm.

Linda highlighted all the different services and special events at the library before introducing Patron Service Manager Ashley Pike.

Ashley is now just another Sarah Chudnow family member. We are grateful for our partnership with the Frank L. Weyenberg Library and look forward to a lasting relationship.

Currently, we give Ashley another title, “Our Personal Librarian.”

Due to her efforts and those of her staff at the library, residents now have a

generation to generation depicting what lessons seniors recall learning during their lifetimes. She is also looking forward to teaching intergenerational movement classes with resident and participant groups.

Intergenerational Programming has also had a long-standing partnership with Hillel Academy. Students in grades 5 through 8 have been visiting residents at Chai Point, the Jewish Home and Care Center, and participants at the Adult Day Center once a month for several years. This year many of the activities that the students, participants and residents were engaged in centered on writing and art that was displayed at the Poetree Fair held at Hillel and at the North Shore Library.

During the summer of 2014 a partnership with one person grew into an exciting program that benefited the residents in the Memory Care Center at Sarah Chudnow Community.

the health and educational needs of Milwaukee-area women, adolescents, and children. The programs operating under the Seeds of Health, Inc. umbrella include Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program and five schools, one K-4 through 8 elementary school and four high schools, each with a distinct mission. Its educational services currently serve approximately 1,300 students. Seeds of Health, Inc. operates its schools through partnership and charter agreements with the Milwaukee Public Schools and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and the WIC Program through the Department of Health and Family Services.

Jodi Weber, assistant executive director of Seeds of Health, Inc. explained, “I was excited to offer students at Tenor High School and Veritas High School the opportunity to participate in intergenerational programming. I think it is very important young people today have the chance to give back to their community.” Over 25 students attended our art club partnership activities throughout the year. Students brought art supplies and canvases, and even performed poetry for the residents.

Jodi adds, “Our students were able to connect with a different generation and have the chance to engage in activities that were able to a provide positive experience for both old and young. In addition, students were able to take a lead on planning the activities and learn life skills from this experience.”

The students from Veritas created a Senior Olympics program. Senior students were paired with senior citizens. Once at Chai Point, everyone started making connections while playing Wii, Jenga, Pictionary, doing puzzles and other activities. By the end of the afternoon the students wanted to stay and spend more time with their new friends and the residents enjoyed interacting with them. “The students felt

a connection by the end of the afternoon. While the day was meant to be giving back to senior citizens, our students received a lot too,” adds Mandy Adams, Social Study Educator at Veritas High School. More programming with Seeds of Health will take place next year.

Artist in Residence-Program at Chai Point

magine walking into the Chai Point dining room during dinnertime and seeing a twenty-something gentleman chatting with residents while sharing a meal. You would be forgiven for thinking that this young man is visiting one of his grandparents for dinner and conversation. However, once the meal has ended, this young man also takes the elevator back to his apartment in Chai Point.

It’s hard to imagine a 24-year-old living in a senior community, but Ian McGibbon, a senior studying art and design at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, did just that from January to July 2016.

McGibbon is a part of the Student Artists-in-Residence program, an innovative partnership that brings students from UW-Milwaukee together with older adults to create art and cultivate relationships. The program, a collaborative effort between the Peck School of the Arts and the Center for StudentBased Learning, Leadership and Research. Recently, the project paired eight arts majors with senior residences and programs from September 2015 through July 2016. Students earn a stipend and run workshops in exchange for room and board.

“Ian coordinated art workshops from creating boxes to clay objects to ‘A Day of Creativity and Play’ where residents and the community could create art in various mediums alongside UW-Milwaukee students,” said Trish Cohn, program director at Chai Point.

While living at Chai Point, Ian was charged with instilling how beneficial art is to the world, and how art can touch the lives of residents. “Residents enjoyed his quiet presence that spoke loudly of his warmth and talents,” said Cohn.

Above, Residents chat with Ian McGibbon, Artist in Residence.

However, working with the residents has touched McGibbon’s life as well. “Having that cross-generational friendship is amazing, as well as seeing people of an older age learn and discover new things about art,” said McGibbon. “It’s been an interesting and wonderful experience, and I’d love to do it again next year.”

Left, residents and student work side-by-side creating art.

Below is an art piece created on the laptop.

The Senior Artists in Residence program is run by Creative Trust Milwaukee, with support from Bader Philanthropies.

Creative Trust offers arts programming, education and arts events that are intergenerational and collaborative. Anne Basting, a professor of theater and facilitator at Creative Trust Milwaukee, said the program is working with the senior facilities to make arrangements for the upcoming year.

Chai Point is already on board in continuing this partnership.

“We will have another student residing with us full-time for a full year beginning in September,” reveals Cohn. “This continues to be a unique opportunity for us, and we are honored to be a part of this cutting-edge program.”

Holocaust Remembrance Dinner

A

n unusual dinner was held at the Sarah Chudnow Community on January 27. It was International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and the residents wanted to do something about it.

Memorializing the deprivation of the concentration camps and using recipes found in the Holocaust Survivors Recipe Book, residents at Sarah Chudnow selected a menu to be served, seder-style, as the story of the survivor who contributed the recipe to the book was told. Over 100 people attended the sold-out dinner. Cellist Scott Cook and violinist Joseph Ketchum provided background music for the event.

Co-sponsored by the Holocaust Education and Resource Center (an agency of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation) and Hand in Hand, Partners in Caring (the volunteer arm of the Jewish Home and Care Center), this event focused on the living and celebrated the rituals the inmates of the camps used to keep themselves from giving in to the hunger and agony of the camps.

The event was attended by residents, staff, and community members.

The event received coverage from WPR (Wisconsin Public Radio): http://goo.gl/rs44Ub, the News Graphic, and several other news outlets.

A second annual International Holocaust Recipe Remembrance Dinner is currently being planned for January 25, 2017.

We Give a Hand to Those Who Lend a Hand

T

he Annual Volunteer Luncheon, held in May, was a beautiful tribute to the many volunteers who are so vital to our communities. With a theme of “We give a hand to those who lend a hand,” the centerpieces, created by the Jewish Home’s residents and activities department were made of two ceramic hands holding a vase of lilacs.

volunteer? Hand in Hand membership supports the grant program that so generously provides programming and items that don’t make it into the organizational budget of the Jewish Home and Care Center, Adult Day Center, or the Rehab and Memory Center of the Sarah Chudnow Community. Some of those items are small, like a set of carafes for the dining services; others are huge, like exercise equipment or the Madison Oral Strength Trainer (MOST) for people who can’t swallow on their own… truly, a life-altering gift!

Entertainment was presented by staff, offering tributes to the staff. No doubt the high point came when Rabbis Emmer and Adams sang a parody from Fiddler on the Roof, “If I Were A Rabbi,” that was later posted to Facebook. Other singers included the Sarah Chudnow Glee Club, the Chai Point Choir, and a valiant collection of staff from all our companies who sang without a single rehearsal.

Volunteers, on the other hand, are people who give of their own time to make a difference in people’s lives, one on one.

There are many ways to volunteer. Beth, our volunteer coordinator, helps each person find their own niche.

Guests were presented with beautiful picture frames made by the residents, and the Jewish Home’s dining services outdid themselves with a beautiful luncheon.

The permanent kitchen area in the ADC is small and not very functional. “With the addition of the kitchen island, we gain a space for small groups to meet, share, and bake, as well as kneading challah on Fridays,” says Jody Garner,

This addition also further enhances the ADC’s philosophy of choice, independence and creating friendships through commonalities. “The Adult Day Center is all about creating friendships and a home-like environment,” says Dawn Adler, director of Adult Day Services.

“The participants decided initially how they wanted to spend the donated money. It is their center so they have decision making power which is also part our philosophy.”

2016 July 3rd Fireworks Fest!

T

he 2016 July 3rd Fireworks Fest brought entertainment, food and fun to the Rubenstein Pavilion as more than 220 community members, residents and family members gathered to celebrate Independence Day. The Easy Day Quartet strolled the floor as they sang and Pinwheel the Clown entertained the children with face painting and balloon animals.

The overall success of the annual July 3rd Fireworks Fest enables our intergenerational programming, through the Martin F. Stein Fund and

the Gene and Ruth Posner Foundation, to grow and transform the lives of our residents and community children.

We are proud to bring the wisdom and experience of our older adults together with the energy and enthusiasm of our children.

Our many sponsors helped to make this an unforgettable evening, and we thank them for supporting this event.
