Abraham Lincoln SELFHELP COMMUNITY SERVICES, INC. & SCS FOUNDATION, INC. 2014 ANNUAL REPORT

Since its founding nearly eighty years ago by refugees from Nazi Germany, Selfhelp has used “social care”—social services and case management—to assist hundreds of thousands of older adults and others at risk of losing their independence. Even in today’s sophisticated age of medical advances, a simple fact remains true: High-quality social care is just as vital as health care for ensuring healthy aging and independent living.

We could not add years to our lives without the constant advances made in medicine and in disease management. But without evolving social care and access to vital and vibrant enrichment programs, it would be nearly impossible to Add Life to our Years.

5 SOCIAL CARE IS GOOD MEDICINE * Countries that Not Just Having Fun

In an international study of 30 countries, Yale public health researchers found spend more that spending more on social services is strongly associated with better health outcomes. Despite allocating more money to health care than any other country on social services in the Organisation for Economic Co- operation and Development (OECD), the United States ranks 25 out of 30 in life expectancy. Other OECD countries have better spend, on average, twice as much on social services as they do on health care, while the United States spends slightly less on social services compared to health. health outcomes. Selfhelp’s longstanding social service programs illustrate beautifully how spending on “social care” translates directly into improved health outcomes.

“Dancing is exercise, and it’s so good for the mind. You have no idea what a pleasure it is.” * MICHAEL FLAMEN “When I don’t feel so well, I force myself to dance and I forget all my sicknesses.”

CECILIA GLEBAS

Michael Flamen, 90, was born in Poland, survived the Holocaust and came to the United States in 1950. His dancing partner, Russian-born Cecelia Glebas, arrived on these shores in 1975. Dancing brought them together over 16 years ago. Ever since then, they have waltzed their way through the ballrooms of , , Brooklyn and , and they now meet weekly at Selfhelp’s Clearview Senior Center. “I never regret when I come, even in bad weather,” says Cecilia, whose ‘can do’ attitude is contagious. When not dancing (or traveling to Queens from Manhattan to do so), Cecelia loves to read, sew, cook, and otherwise keep active. A skilled artist, Michael creates lifelike pictures of his children and grandchildren, practices operatic arias on his violin, and is also an ardent bridge player.

The goal of this program is to prevent avoidable re-hospitalization. A Care Transitions coach visits recently discharged patients at home and engages them in to nursing an evidence-based process designed to motivate healthier behavior. The Coach also ensures that patients and their caregivers understand their discharge instructions and homes each year. new medications, and helps them to access any needed community supports, including other Selfhelp programs. Only 12% of clients participating in Selfhelp’s program return to the hospital within a month after discharge, compared to 18% nationwide. This program complements Selfhelp’s longstanding best practices. Skilled nurses at Selfhelp’s Certified Home Health Agency (CHHA) use specific protocols to reduce the risk of re-hospitalization. Likewise, home health aides are trained to encourage the patient in practices that promote recovery, and to report any danger signs that could lead to avoidable re-hospitalization. 11 12 GROWING IN VITALITY CARE TRANSITIONS COACHING

An acute episode of pneumonia brought Mr. Vasiliadis, 70, to New York Hospital Queens in early 2014. As Roslyn explains, “The hospitalization was a wakeup call for Mr. Vasiliadis, who despite having diabetes had never felt sick before. He and his wife Helen were receptive to our Care Transitions program and to allowing me to work with him on making lifestyle changes.” Six months later, he has made a full recovery and is in much better shape.
