hen we talk about “hi tech,” what images come to mind?

We’ve come a long way from the huge computers that took up an entire room, used up endless energy, required huge sums of money and whose end results, by today’s standards, were the tip of the iceberg of what would someday be possible.

At the Jewish Home and Care Center, technology solutions for resident care are taking center stage in a big way.

Thanks in large part to the Jewish Home and Care Center Foundation, our organization has been able to make the bold move into the 21st Century with the latest technological advances for resident care. In doing this, we are able

There are now so many areas that are touched by new technology, something new can be found in almost every department of our organization.

Profile: Minnie K. Friedman Rehabilitation Center Fund

assionate, joyful spirit and positive outlook are just some of words used to describe the cherished Minnie K. Friedman.

Minnie lived a life of dedication and commitment to service to the Jewish Home and Care Center, affecting our residents on a daily basis.

Minnie K. Friedman was born and raised in Milwaukee by her stepmother, Frieda, and her father, Louis Karl. At the time, Minnie’s father owned a dry goods store on the south side of Milwaukee.

Minnie was fourteen when her mother passed away. After that she quit school and went to work to help pay for her three Cont. on Page 13

Whether it’s patient care, sub-acute rehab, materials management, marketing, finance and billing, dining services, social work or activities, new technology is helping all aspects of our organization to deliver services, interact with families and residents and provide the best care possible.

It began slowly, with updating our software to a more current standard across the three communities, followed by upgrading our telephone service and equipment. Next, we adopted Answers on Demand as our organizational software, and that facilitated our move to electronic health records, bringing us in line with current trends and requirements for the latest standards of care. Today, you can be a resident in one of our communities, receive services in another, and have your records follow you seamlessly and confidentially, thanks to your electronic health record.

Equipment is the next level of technology to receive the hi-tech upgrade. And here, the Jewish Home and Care Center really makes a name for itself! As the first skilled nursing facility (SNF) in the world to incorporate two major advances of technology, the JHCC is leading the way in first-rate resident care, and our residents are benefitting from the forward thinking of our leadership.

More than half a million people get sick from Clostridium difficile (C. diff) each year. And each year, these infections, which are common in older adults after treatment with antibiotics, become more frequent, severe, and difficult to treat.

The bacteria that cause infections are commonly found in healthcare settings, such as hospitals and long-term care facilities.

To combat the bacteria and eliminate the risk of C. diff infections, as well as many other common health risks such as MRSA, norovirus and staph infections that are common in healthcare environments, the Jewish Home and Care Center has become the first SNF to employ a Xenex germeliminating robot.

Bladder scanners are also now being used, which is a huge benefit in that it can prevent urinary tract infections and preserve the dignity of residents.

And then there are the communication devices! EasyConnect HD is an example that was recently installed at all three communities. With this large-screen device, the family of a resident can attend a care conference no matter where in the world they live. Easy

Connect provides virtual engagement through live video experiences.

Residents are able to engage in lifelong learning experiences through live video feed with historians, park rangers, authors, and more. Also, tablet devices are in use on the Sarah Chudnow and Jewish Home campuses provided by grants through Hand in Hand and the Jewish Home and Care Center Foundation.

There are many more technological innovations that have occurred on our campuses, but space prevents us from including them all. We do, however, thank our Foundation and Hand in Hand, our volunteer organization, for providing grants that enable individual departments to purchase items that enhance the lives of residents on all campuses.

New Elevator an Uplifting Story for Chai Point

C

hai Point residents are getting a new Service Elevator, and that will be a big help, as the current two elevators are now being shared with new resident move-ins, staff and equipment. With the new Service Elevator being used for move-ins and the transport of equipment, such as cleaning carts and deliveries, the present elevator cars will be more available to residents as they go about their daily routines.

be disrupted for a period, and all laundry is being done for residents at no charge in a temporary laundry room that is being housed in the former fitness room in the basement. The fitness equipment has been moved to the Multi-Purpose Room for now, so that the laundry room could be created.

After the elevator is complete, new laundry rooms will be returned to each floor, with state-of-the-art machines, folding tables and carefully thought out floor plans.

Building a new elevator inside an existing building presents some challenges; however, so far everything is going along well. Beginning on the Basement level in Chai Point, the cement floor was removed and workers had to dig down another seven feet by hand, removing dirt by the bucketful until the desired depth was reached.

Meanwhile, up on the resident floors, laundry rooms will

All of this is being done with as little disruption to resident routines as possible. Residents are being kept informed of changes through Lift Lines, an ad hoc newsletter, delivered to their apartments and available at the front desk.

Construction workers (L to R) LeontĂŠ, Tim and foreman Chad (in the elevator shaft) are hard at work on the new Service Elevator.

All in all, the new elevator will be a good deal on every level!

JHCC Activities JHCC Celebrates Diversity and Community

J

HCC celebrated Black History Month in February with the production of “Rosa Parks Goes to Court.” The play was written and directed by Dreama Smith, Assistant Director of Hospitality Services, and was performed by staff from all departments. Not only did the play address the iconic role of Rosa Parks in the Civil Rights Movement, it also celebrated the diversity of our JHCC staff.

In early April, residents and staff got kooky and zany during “Mismash of Mischief.” The event included clowns, a caricature artist and comedy routines performed by staff. It was an afternoon of good, old fashioned laughs.

JHCC observed National Nursing Home Week (NNHW) in May. This national observance provided an opportunity to honor all those who contribute to our nation’s nursing homes – residents, family members, employees and volunteers. The theme for the week was Life is But a Game, with activities for the week centering on playing games. The games included “Letters on the Lawn,” a word game similar to Scrabble, and playing checkers on a giant checkerboard in the JHCC lobby.

In addition to board games, residents and staff welcomed a visit – and numerous photo opportunities –with Mr. Potato Head while enjoying table games, ice cream and conversation.

Staff also received a special “thank you” gift – a magnetic game piece created by residents that describes some of the most important attributes (i.e. caring, supportive, thoughtful) of those who work at JHCC. Staff were asked to select the attribute that best related to them as a reminder that they are an

important “piece” of residents’ lives.

The main event of NNHW was “Hunger Games: Kvetching Fire.” Residents and staff completed tasks such as folding towels, bean bag toss, and lawn bowling for raffle tickets to win hunger-related prizes such as restaurant gift certificates and food items. The “Let’s Make a Deal” cart made an appearance, offering all in attendance the opportunity to bargain for deals and win prizes.

Independence Day was also observed at JHCC. Residents were treated to a 4th of July party, complete with patriotic songs performed by Kimberly Rosenau, Activity Coordinator and Amy Gelfman, Music Therapist.

Project Ujima, a Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin program that works with children affected by violence, visited to help celebrate the 4th of July. Some of Project Ujima’s goals are to foster positive experiences through social opportunities and giving back to the community. To that end, the children socialized with residents and decorated their wheelchairs and walkers with festive red, white and blue streamers and tissue paper flowers.

Throughout the year, JHCC residents enjoyed visits from, and making memory books with, children from the Mequon Jewish Pre-School. As a part of our Intergenerational programming, we partner with the preschool and the students form friendships with the residents at JHCC. –Becca Loss

In celebration of the Winter Olympics, Chai Point held its own Oylmpics in February. The festivities, complete with a processional and opening ceremony, included events such as curling and shooting. Residents, staff and volunteers enjoyed the spirit of competition and camaraderie that the regular Olympics bring. They also witnessed the muchanticipated Ice Dancing Competition

For those residents who preferred our feathered friends, “Spread Your Wings,” A Birding Afternoon, was offered in May. Birder Rebecca Sher presented a program about Wisconsin’s migratory birds.

Sarah chudnow Community Arts Take Center Stage at SCC

T

hemed dinners are always a hit at SCC, and 2014 has been no exception. Residents and staff celebrated the magic of cinema at the annual Oscar Party, where everyone was encouraged to dress “red carpet ready.” Highlights of the Cinco de Mayo dinner included a taste of Mexican flavor and staff members and volunteers serving food wearing sombreros and mustaches. The 4th of July dinner featured all the picnic and BBQ favorites.

challenges. All proceeds from the art sales benefited the artists and Goodwill Industries. The Senior Artist Series began in May with a mixed media exhibition with works from Allen B. Caucutt, Sculptor/Painter. Other artists in our Senior Artist Series included: Yelena Patskevich, staff at SCC, with works on canvas and paper with mixable oil colors and pastels; Rich Rekowski featuring Packers-inspired art using acrylic paint on canvas and watercolor paper; and Jean Weinberg, a resident at the Sarah Chudnow Community, whose medium of choice is acrylic paint and pastels. Each exhibition begins on a Sunday afternoon, starting with a grand opening followed by an Artist’s Reception in Posner Town Square. The artwork is then on display for several weeks.

The 2nd Floor Art Gallery has been busy, thanks to rotating exhibitions. The exhibition season kicked off in April with featured artists from Goodwill Industries’ Artistic Enhancement Program. This exhibition showcased and recognized the beauty, creativity and talents of artists with

Our own Sarah Chudnow Glee Club performs at the 2014 Jamboree.

Children cut out stars for a July 4th art project while participating in our Kinder Klatch.

The lively Senior Jamboree took place in late May. An annual event, this year’s Jamboree featured four choral groups: the Sarah Chudnow Glee Club and choruses from the Grafton, Shorewood, and West Bend senior centers. Each group performed audience favorites and led a sing-along for audience members. It was a great event for our Community members to share music, fun and fellowship with other local senior organizations.

This summer, SCC introduced two Intergenerational Programs: Kinder Klatch and Baby Talk. Kinder Klatch is a program for children ages three through six and their parents.

The group met on the first Tuesday of June, July and August.

Themes ranged from “Fun in the Sun” to “4th of July” with activities such as planting flowers and festive arts-and-crafts projects. Residents, parents and children enjoyed a morning of socializing, community involvement and most of all, fun. Baby Talk allowed moms, dads and their babies (up to one year old) to schmooze with our seniors about what it was like raising children in days past and to socialize with other parents of young children.

In mid-July, SCC’s Posner Town Square was transformed into a runway for an afternoon. Residents and the community were treated to an intergenerational fashion show featuring fashions from Land’s End in Fox Point. Our stylish models included some of our residents and staff as well as a granddaughter of one of our residents. Later in the month, a van full of residents went on an outing to the Lands’ End store. Many residents purchased clothes to fill up one bag; some even bought two bags worth of clothing!

Many of our programs are open to the community. Check sarahchudnow.com or Facebook for upcoming programs.

Adult Day Programs Care for Body, Brain and Spirit

T

he Adult Day Programs continue to respond to community need.

Both the Adult Day Center and the ReCharge! program are growing steadily. Each service supports both the participant and care partners. Said the wife of one Adult Day Center participant, “I have a semblance of normalcy in my life on the days my husband is with the ADC and your caring staff. I know he is safe and well cared for; he is a happy camper, and I am very grateful.”

Recently, the Adult Day Center underwent its required survey, and the

surveyor was impressed with “the staff interaction with the participants, as well as doing way above what is required.”

The result was a violation-free survey.

ReCharge! is an interactive brain and body fitness class. Students engage in brain exercises while among friends and improve memory, focus and concentration.

A ReCharge! class member told us, “I can personally attest to the ability of the instructor to present mental fitness exercises and memory strategies that are challenging, but at the same time fun to learn. I look forward to each day with my friends in the class.”

In June, Dana Rubin-Winkelman, MSW, CAPSW and Dawn Adler, RT, co-facilitated a new program titled Shomer Hagoof, Taking Care of Your Body and Mind, at Congregation Beth Israel Ner Tamid. About sixty people experienced novel ways to use their brain, strategies to keep the mind sharp, and learned how mindfulness can reduce the aging effects of stress. This two-hour interactive session will be made available to other synagogues as well. A follow-up, more in-depth series on brain health will also be available.

Campaign for the Brain, an interactive brain health fair that focused on the five main things you can do to protect your brain (physical exercise, mental exercise, disease prevention, socialization and nutrition) was a hit last year. Planning has begun for this Rosie Sheinbein, RYT, RMT, specialist in creative expression therapies including music, movement, art and writing, led a drum circle in the Adult Day Center in July. Participants enjoyed sharing the vibrations, listening to the sounds they created together, and moving to the beat. People listening to the sounds outside the room were drawn to the beautiful rhythms.

Friendly Visitors are Always Welcome

I

t has been another amazing year for Hand in Hand and our volunteers! With more than 300 active volunteers, you are sure to come across us somewhere on one of our

campuses… whether it is helping out at an activity, escorting a resident to the hair salon, working in the gift shop, or preparing to accompany residents on an outing.

Friendly Visitors help in many ways, from brightening a resident’s day with some conversation, to helping to transport him or her to the beauty shop or an activity.

There are so many ways to help… call Beth Draper at 414-277-8848 or email bdraper@jewishseniorliving.org to find out more!

Among the most important things volunteers do, though, is to be a Friendly Visitor in the residents’ own rooms. These wonderful people will spend anywhere from a few minutes to an hour visiting with an individual resident, creating warm friendships as they become part of each other’s lives.

Some Friendly Visitors are invited to become members of Caring Partners, a special group of visitors who are trained to go a step farther; to visit with residents who are nearing the end of their lives. In this way they fulfill the Caring Partners mission of making sure none of our residents has to die alone.

While there is always a need for more Caring Partners, you cannot volunteer for this group; you have to be invited.

O

nce again, the Jewish Home and Care Center made the news with our Volunteer of the Year! This year, our very own Della Bornstein was nominated as the Home Instead Salute to Senior Service Award winner for the state of Wisconsin! When she won, Nate Kuester, news anchor on cbs58 interviewed her in the Gift Shop that Della has managed for so many years. You can see the interview online at http://tinyurl.com/ptk8lzh or find it on our Facebook page.

Our relationships with our University partners went a step further this year, as we received the Service Learning Community Partner of the Year award from the University of WisconsinMilwaukee. Volunteer Coordinator

Beth Draper received the award at a ceremony on the university campus, and said, “We are proud to host so many University students and to be able to match students with opportunities here that match their educational programs.”

Last semester, Marquette University communications students designed a brochure for the JHCC Marketing/ Communications department that was used during Doors Open Milwaukee, and in the coming year, we anticipate students at UWM’s architectural school will be creating an outdoor green space in front of Chai Point. In this way, University students get to know our organization, and can spread the word among their peers and families about who we are and what we do.

younger brothers’ educations. At age 17, Minnie founded Milwaukee’s first Junior Hadassah group and truly lived a life of commitment to community service and charitable giving. In 1934, Minnie married Harry Friedman, a dentist, and became a devoted wife and loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother. After the passing of her husband, she became a lifelong volunteer to numerous organizations within the Milwaukee area.

The Minnie K. Friedman Rehabilitation Center is an excellent example of Minnie’s everyday dedication and passion to making a difference in the lives of others. Step by step, residents work to accomplish goals in speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy. During therapy sessions, residents are provided the latest resources to work on muscle strength, balance, and activities of daily living. Therapists work each and every day empowering residents to accomplish tasks and improve their baseline mobilities. RehabCare therapists have been working within our communities over the last eight years and have become extended family to many residents. Each of the therapists has remarkable energy and a positive outlook, motivating our residents, making the atmosphere contagious and inspiring for all who enter its doors.

Team Ruth! Ruth is a current resident on the Avrum and Anita Chudnow Center for rehabilitation services. She came to the Jewish Home and Care Center post surgery. Ruth works with Sam, a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant. Time is spent on working on transitions from sitting to standing

as well as walking to strengthen her lower body. Ruth says “I learn something new almost every time I come to therapy. There is such a variety of equipment to use here.” Ruth is such a success story, motivating herself and motivated by therapy to accomplish her goals and regain independence.

Team Sidney! Sidney is an outpatient for speech therapy and a current Chai Point resident. “I work on my memory and concentration with Lena, and overall I have seen improvements,” says Sidney. Speech therapy has helped Sidney with communication with his daily surroundings.

During his therapy time he works on a variety of work sheets, flash cards, and memory techniques to help improve the cognitive aspects of communications.

Minnie K. Friedman once said, “Helping others is my payment to G-d for keeping me well.” It is easy to see Minnie’s legacy and her motivation to inspire, motivate, and be a friend to those in need continue through the everyday work in therapy.
